Date: Wednesday, November 24, 1999 2:19 AM RE: http://www.jj-johnson.com/copiers.htm Exhaustive searches of the web for info on photocopy encoding found nothing, until the following, which is from an infowar.com page. InfoWar operates as a open-source database for the intelligence community. The clue is in a 1994 post from Dr. Michel Kabay in RISKS-FORUM Digest that cited a proposal made by the National Research Council (NRC) that every photocopier print a unique identifier. The claim was also made that such an identifier was already ('94) being printed by the Xerox Corporation's "MajestiK" line of color photocopiers: =========================================================== http://www.infowar.com/iwftp/risks/Risks-15/risks-15.68.txt =========================================================== RISKS-LIST: RISKS-FORUM Digest Tuesday 22 March 1994 Volume 15 : Issue 68 FORUM ON RISKS TO THE PUBLIC IN COMPUTERS AND RELATED SYSTEMS ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy, Peter G.

Nothing very new for RISKS readers, but it's a good one-page summary of the problem for novices. In brief: [...] o One proposal from the NRC is that every copy machine print its serial numbers on every copy it produces. This technology is already in place in Xerox Corporation's "MajestiK" colour photocopiers. However, many observers are concerned about privacy issues. Norbert S. Baer, a member of the NRC committee, asked, "Would the Pentagon Papers have been leaked if identification numbers were implanted on them?" [...] Michel E.
