Abstract

A document is disclosed, which contains information invisible to the naked eye, but which information can be made visible by a simple method. Said information is represented by markings on the document, which markings comprise a first color at least partially opaque to at least part of the invisible light spectrum, and a second color which serves to conceal said first color in the visible spectrum, but which second color is itself transparent to said part of the invisible light spectrum.
