Depending on how technical and secure you're looking for, I'd say do
some poking around the bank/check industry. After all, they are quite
concerned with fraudulent documents getting around.

I forget the exact website but there is an entire site based on a
secure paper and printing/signing. Some Googling will probably reveal
it. Once again, depending on your exact worries and concerns, using
special paper might be overkill. However, I'll betcha the bank
industry (along with check books and such) will lead to a wealth of
information.

On business documents (those that still live in the paper world) where
public/private keys and signature verification are unavailable, is there
a way to make an electronic signature (a handwritten one that has been
scanned in) more secure?  Possibly by watermarking?  Anyone can scan in
a handwritten signature and paste it into a document, but I'm curious
about how one might watermark or otherwise secure it.

Thanks!
