iDcentrix Brings Innovative ID Card Technology to the Global Market at CARTES 2007

Security is not just about chips: the card body needs to be counterfeit-proof – Innovation Pavilion, booth #3D 116.

Paris, Cartes — iDcentrix unveils its unique ID card technology — the market’s only banknote paper polycarbonate based credential that can’t be counterfeited.

“Cartes is the perfect venue to showcase this breakthrough product that offers the industry the best of high-end banknote security,” says iDcentrix president and CEO Francine Dubois. “We offer the only card that can be immediately authenticated by checking the embedded watermark that becomes visible against a light source.”

We offer the only card that can be immediately authenticated by checking the embedded watermark that becomes visible against a light source. Personalization takes place on the security paper of the patented ID card before the card is actually assembled, unlike traditional card bodies where personalization is done on the finished card. All personal data and most security features are therefore IN the card, not ON it, making it tamper-resistant.

“Recent testing performed by some governmental agencies has validated the security of our card,” says Dubois. “You can obviously add other data security features such as contactless chips. However, the card’s resilience is where our technology comes into play, and this makes our card very attractive to those issuers who have not yet selected the latest chip technology but nonetheless want a highly secure product.”
