Biometric security
A personal biological (anatomical or physiological) or behavioral characteristic which can be used to establish a person’s identity by comparing it with stored reference data. Traditionally, the most popular biometric identifier is the fingerprint. Other frequently used biometric identifiers include the facial image, iris image and hand geometry.
Semlex integrates biometric features through different means :
PDF 417 bar-code
Electronic chip
Biometric data is stored in an embedded microchip (integrated circuit).
Security features
In order to guarantee the authenticity of your documents and to prevent falsification, various technical securities are offered:
Metallic ink
Metallic pigments like aluminum and bronze are used as components of printing inks to produce surfaces with a metallic sheen. Metallic ink is a typical anti-copy ink.
OVI
Printing ink containing optically variable pigments will show large color shifts (strong variations in color) depending on the angle of observation or lighting.
UV ink
Ink containing fluorescent substances (pigments) which is used to print text or motifs. This type of ink is visible under normal light and fluoresces under UV light.
Guillochis
Fine (intricate) designs consisting of interlaced continuous lines arranged in geometric patterns with the aim of raising the barrier for re-origination and reproduction.
Rainbow coloring
This coloring process used in offset printing is used to protect security documents against color separation or copying, by subtly merging colors into each other resulting in a gradual color change.
Microprint
Lines or motifs made up of very small letters or numbers that are barely perceptible to the eye that basic methods of reproduction can’t reproduce.
Serial number
A unique sequential number that is printed or perforated in a document, which allows a document to be traced if it is lost or stolen.
Hologram
Diffractive Optically Variable Image Device used as a security element. A number of effects are possible, e.g. 2D holograms (2-dimensional holograms) with structural and color changes, 3D holograms with images, holograms with kinematic effects, etc.
