Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent alteration about a negotiable instrument or the like. SOLUTION: Glyph marks 21 are formed as a fine pattern on a substrate 24. The glyph marks 21 are comprised of slash-like glyphs 22 arranged in a lattice shape, and in the glyphs 22, there are forward slashes representing '1' and backward slashes representing '0'. Binary values are represented by combining both forward and backward slashes. Decoding the glyph marks 21 creates a glyph code pattern 25. By using the glyph code pattern, a payor's signature is digitized, encrypted, made to be a glyph and embedded on the front surface of a check. When the check is presented to a bank for payment, a teller using a decoding device, decodes the digitized signature, and sees a human-readable image of the digitized signature on a screen for comparison with the payor's handwritten signature.
