Government Solutions
Jura's photo ID document personalization solutions include patented features to hide human- or machine-readable alphanumerical invisible personal information into the portrait with optional custom encryption, and a special personalized machine-verifiable secondary (ghost) image.
IPI™ is the #1 graphical security for personal documents. This technology encodes personal data (name, numbers etc.) in the portrait. IPI™ directly links the photograph both to the document holder and the document. Personal data is invisible to the human eye; the authorized persons can easily verify the authenticity with a dedicated decoding lens.
IPI™ can be authenticated with electronic passport-readers as well.
The implementation of IPI™ started two decades ago. Nowadays several dozens of countries use Jura’s IPI™ feature, both in passports and ID-1 format government credentials.
Encrypting personal data into the photo. The digital version of IPI™ hides personal information as a special 2D-barcode into the photo. Digital-IPI™ is machine-readable with a Jura software on an electronic passport-reader.
Encoding digital information into the image provides a higher level of security than lens-readable IPI™ because the customer can use his own trusted encryption or authentication code (MAC) algorithm. The encryption makes the reproduction of the embedded information impossible, even for Jura.
Two in one: a strong and attractive tool for Level 1 verification plus a powerful Level 3 machine-readable feature.
The original LetterScreen™ feature of Jura has been an attractive feature for first-level verification of the passport. The portrait of the applicant is built up from lines of microtext. The microtext is personalized; citing applicant’s name, the document number and/or other personal data. The personalized text lines fill the entire image. There are slight differences in character size and thickness to clearly show the portrait. The LetterScreen™ has been the optimal ghost image, it enhanced the security by directly linking the portrait to the owner & the document itself.
The verification of the original version is based on the comparison of the text in the LetterScreen™ and the readable personal data, as well as the data on the screen, when MRZ is read. The verification necessitated a magnifier. It provided excellent security also for back-office and forensic check. The new LetterScreen++™ provides automatic, fast, primary verification within seconds. It comes with a unique wavy microtext in each document. Each LetterScreen++™ image is created along a unique structure, by a special algorithm based on personal data.
With decades of experience Jura offers graphic security prepress design services for security documents issued by governments, from preliminary design to print-ready materials including producing offset and intaglio plates.
Jura’s covert security features include patented high resolution applications for the protection of high security products against reproduction, tampering, counterfeiting, and invisible personalized digital watermarking features for personal office documents without photo.
ICS® is a patented high-resolution digital application for protection of banknotes (US Patent and Trademark Office No. 6,104,812).
Banknotes must be protected against any kind of reproduction, tampering, counterfeiting. The genuine product should not be reproducible but with remarkable changes only (i.e. the original effect does not work on the copy).
ICS® is exclusive for banknotes. This feature is providing hidden information in the screen structure of the existing design. The hidden information is invisible to the human eye and can be verified with a simple decoding device.
ICS® is printed with different high-resolution printing processes (offset, intaglio etc.) in modern security printing works.
ICI® is a patented high-resolution digital application for the protection of legal documents and security products against reproduction (US Patent and Trademark Office No. 6,104,812).
High security value papers and security documents must be protected against any kind of reproduction, tampering, counterfeiting. The genuine product should not be reproducible but with remarkable changes only (i.e. the original effect does not work on the copy).
ICI® is mainly for high security products. This feature is providing hidden information in the screen structure of the existing design. The hidden information is invisible to the human eye and can be verified with a simple decoding device.
ICI® is printed with different high-resolution printing processes (offset, intaglio etc.) in modern security printing works.
M-ICI® is a revolutionary new feature that hides extra information in micro-printed letters. The embedded information is possible to decode with our simple plastic device only.
M-ICI® has similar attributes to ICI® with certain differences. It is applicable on all high security products including banknotes, using only b&w images as encoded information, and it can be printed with wet and dry offset and also intaglio printing.
IDP is a personalized digital watermark placed in the background-print of the document. It’s a security feature developed for personal documents without a photo. IDP contains personalized data chosen from the document itself. This can be placed into a decoration element and printed together in one round with the document text.
IDP is suitable for birth-, death-, marriage-certificates, land and vehicle ownership certificates, university diplomas, notary documents, government documents with restricted circulation, contracts, legal documents etc.
Digital-IPI is a digital variation of IDP that encodes binary data into the photo. Digital-IDP combines the advantages of IDP and 2D-barcodes. The amount of the embedded information is enough to encrypt using strong encryption algorithms (AES or other) what makes the document impossible to manipulate.
Digital-IDP is suitable for similar documents to IDP. Printing Digital-IDP is similar to IDP, optimal with black&white or colour laser printers and it also works with ink-jet printers.
