If you are relying on OCR to reconstitute a bitwise-perfect message
(because that's the only way a signature will validate) then you're
asking for trouble, unless you're using a very restricted character set
with at most one whitespace codepoint.
Maybe one could use a character, like a + or * etc., as whitespace.
The idea is to use a Telefax machine for endpoint security, with
an offline usage PC, which for example gpg4win is ideal for.
the receiver then OCR scans the document and decodes the QR-code
If QR is an option, why not encode the entire message in QR?
I thought about that too, but in case the document would be several
pages long and would not fit into a QR-code. Ok, one can split the
large document and insert then several QR-codes into one Fax page.
