The concept involves the creation of the following equipments and facilities to meet the basic requirements.

The individual who has the power to " Sign on gold " is expected (by way of example) to use this power in the following ways.

For electronically signing a particular e-document, the person first prepares a document on the computer, then uses a pre-cut paper and on it " signs on gold ”. This paper with signature is passed through the scanner which in turn is linked to the internet as well as the computer being used, The scanner in coordination with the software based at the global data base server does the gold check as well as detailed check on the global identity, number of golden stripes in the under layer of the signature, correctness of signature, relationship of the position of several points on the signature with position of the several Impressions of the global identity etc. and assigns a code with say 20 characters which may include the global ID plus 5 digits, this will be called Golden signature ID code (GSID) which will be unique to that particular signature.

The 5 digits provides for an individual “ signing on Gold ” Up to 99,999 times during the person's lifetime. Here it can be mentioned that there is absolutely no possibility of a person signing in an identical manner taking into consideration all the parameters in the above mentioned scanning and checking.

Once the GSID is assigned, the document to which the signature has to be attached gets registered at the global data base and there after an exact scanned copy of the signature gets attached to the document at the assigned place and just below this will appear The logo SIGNED ON GOLD with the GSID code. The document can thereafter be transmitted anywhere by the available secure means. The receiver can be absolutely sure of the authenticity of the document in all respects.

Once a GSID is assigned to a signature and the same is used for attaching to a document or used for any other specified transaction through the global data base, that particular signature will become invalid and cannot be used again.

Successive GSID assigned to an individual's signature will be in a pattern not possible to be deciphered by others as it will be unique to that individual.

If the receiver has the slightest doubt about the document, The receiver who will also be a person empowered with “ sign on gold ” can use the same to interact with the global data base and cross-check the validity of signature by referring to the GSID.

The above is given only as small example to explain a single Possibility out of several hundred possibilities with the concept of  “sign on Gold ”

The “ sign on gold ” is expected to eliminate the need for digital signatures, third party authentication, private key, public key, undeniable signatures, multi party protocol, all sorts of connected legal problems, all sorts of hacking problems, all unreliable verifications systems Etc.,

It may also be possible in the example mentioned above to Create the “sign on gold” on the precut paper in two steps.

First the golden under layer could be applied, then scanned, which in turn connects and initializes the global database. As a second step the paper is withdrawn from the scanner and the signature is applied on this layer and passed through the scanner again. This may have to be done say within ONE minute interval, which may be used as further proof of that particular individual’s presence at that spot and at that time. The time delay between the application of under layer and the signature as well as the heat from the scanner could, if so desired be used as means to ensure drying of the paste forming the golden under-layer before the individual’s ink signature is applied on it. This might also help in the creation of the gold paste with appropriate quality to prevent drying-up of the paste in the pen roller due to exposure to air etc.

The above 2 stage creation of the “ sign on gold ” may if required help in better reading of the global ID repeatedly embossed into the golden under-layer by the Scanner, as the ink signature is not yet super imposed during the first stage scanning. 

The “ Sign on gold ” will completely eliminate problem with hackers etc, because unlike the password based security systems where it is possible to experiment with several thousand password combination to make illegal entry , there is a built in cost involved for the gold paste when illegal attempts of entry is being made.

As per the description given above it appears that every time the signature along with the gold under-layer (which is on a cut paper as in the above case or bills etc) gets scanned to serve a particular purpose, it will become useless for any other purpose. This is a fact, but it must be understood that the cut paper or Bill etc could very well be disposed off for a value of say 60% to 70% of the cost incurred in “ Sign on gold ” as major part of the Gold content can be reclaimed by some suitable process.
