Definition
A class of VVPAT system in which encrypted strings or symbols, such as barcodes or hash codes, are printed on the paper record for secu rity purposes, generally to prevent forgery or alteration of the ballot.

For ex ample, the security code may indicate that the ballot is a forgery, but the voter is unable to di scover this fact in the course of voting. Cf. NO INDICIA.
