Gemalto Launches Enhanced Visual and Tactile Security Features for Official Identity Documents
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New features are available immediately for volume delivery
Amsterdam, December 9, 2014 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653), the world leader
in digital security, launches Sealys Secure Surface, a new family of cost-
effective security features for polycarbonate identity documents that
strengthens protection against fraud by combining three different effects: light
reflection, movement and tactile elements.
Sealys Secure Surface can be applied on the polycarbonate bodies of documents
such as passport datapages, ID cards, healthcare cards, driver licenses, vehicle
registrations, and resident permits. It offers visual and tactile effects that
allow fast and efficient document authenticity checks, while legitimate document
holders benefit from greater security and swift identification procedures.
Sealys Secure Surface is designed to enhance the security of existing features
such as the changeable or multiple laser image, which enables several pieces of
information - typically a portrait and a number - to be seen depending on the
viewing angle.
* Sealys Lens Surface incorporates complex shapes and combinations of elements
inside the changeable or multiple laser image, further strengthening the
security of this graphical feature
* Sealys Optically Variable Surface provides brand-new optical elements with
light reflective and animation effects, revealed by tilting a document at
different angles.
* Sealys 3D Surface offers perceptible features for a polycarbonate document,
such as surface embossing or Braille, with unmatched accuracy
"The three new innovative features can be elegantly combined to keep our
customers one step ahead in the fight against fraud. They have already been
implemented in a European national program since mid-November," said Youzec
Kurp, Vice President of Marketing & Products, Government Programs at Gemalto.
"By combining Sealys Surface with Sealys Color in Polycarbonate, a remarkable
innovation that allows color photographs to be permanently embedded into
polycarbonate documents, Gemalto brings to the market a unique combination of
graphical security features."
