Summary


Introduction

ID cards in ID-1 format are around for decades Increasing employment of Chip Cards for ID

card issuer (contact and contactless) Contactless technologies either pure or DIC Specifications

ICAO 9303 (ISO/IEC 7501) for Machine Readable Travel Documents (MRTD)

ECC (European Citizen Card) CEN/TS 15480 European Driver license


IntroductionSecurity Categories Overview

Second line inspection

Educated personel,Police, Immigration

Simple tools,e.g. UV Lamp

UV-VIS Lumineszens,IR-VIS LumineszensMachine readable features

Third line inspection

ForensicAnalysise.g. Spectral Analysis

Police laboratories IR-IR Lumineszens,Reactive agents

First line inspection

everybody Without tools Guilloch,Hologram,Optical Variable Ink,Changeable Laser Image

Who How What


Physical and Data Security

Data structure defined in ICAO 9303 for travel documents

Crypto controller employed with a high level of data security and chip hardware security

Physical aspects of a security printed product to be fullfilled (mainly 1st and 2nd line inspection)


Physical FeaturesGuilloche printing

Correct Design:

Continuous fine lines

Spot colour (difficult to copy)

Rainbow printing

Magnification


Physical FeaturesMikro printing


Physical FeaturesOptical Variable Ink (OVI)

„transprent“Screen ink

5 nm CrMgF2

30 nm AlMgF2

5 nm Cr

Thickness of MgF2 layerDefines color change(gold-green; green-magenta; green-black etc.)

• Flakes of di-electric layers (Fabry-Perot)

Construction generals Laminated Card

Multilayer Construction preferred w/o adhesive Opaque inner layer Transparent overlay layer

Functional layer (basically overlay) Limitation OV thickness through module

dimensions Contactless inlays Interlayer printing (water mark) Fitting front/reverse side


Card Production Considerations

Pre-Press Printing Collation Lamination Punching Milling and Embedding Personalization


Card Production ConsiderationsPre-Press

Artwork generation is not allowed on commercial available software

Special software ( > 40k Euro) to be employed Experience personal

No process colours Various visible and unvisible inks high securtiy area and system (server)


Card Production ConsiderationsPrinting

Multiple custom colours in offset visible and unvisible

Screen printing for OVI Tight register due to fine line artwork Rainbow printing (visible and unvisible)

sheet orientation (repeat) Print machine limitations Temperature stable colours to be used


Card Production ConsiderationsCollation

Hologram under Overlay possible Holographic stripe

Front/Reverse side registration Contactless inlay (antenna)? > 6 layer construction possible

manual collation in most cases material handling


Card Production ConsiderationsLamination

Longer lamination cycles with PC w/o adhesive layers capacity decrease

High temperatures sensitivity Hologram material printing colours

colour shift bleeding


Braille Lettering

Positioning Pins

MLI/CLI

Card Production ConsiderationsLamination plates

Structured lamination plates expensive structuring process set per project registration to printed artwork special surface treatment

anti adhesion hardening

Just a few supplier with specialised technologies


Card Production ConsiderationsPunching

Standard registration w/ print marks White border (?)

Tool has to be fit to the material PC more difficult and higher wear of tools Dimensions Edges and burrs Handling scratches Positioning precision (w/ inlays)

more precise tooling and set up for multi material constructions


Card Production ConsiderationsMilling and Embedding

Milling parameter to be adjusted to the material combination

Equipment limitations for some DIC technologies

Module adhesive to be fitted to core material


Card Production ConsiderationsPersonalization

Laser engraving is the most employed gray scale system

tactile and non-tactile MLI/CLI posibilites to be integrated

new materials developed with receptor coatings for D2T2 and Re-transfer (colour)

New technology developed for continuous ink jet printing (colour)

Data handling and processing with special security (e.g. HSM)


Markets and Applications

Governmental projects demand physical security features ID-card, Driving license, Citizen Card,

Passport (data page) Worldwide necessity for Machine Readable

Travel Documents Long term acquisition for long term contracts

Commercial projects are more focussed on IT technology Single Card Digital printed

Summary

Dedicated Know How is needed Artwork generation Card construction and features Personalisation

Special Equipment / Modifications Pre-Press, Collation, Lamination,

Punching, Personalization Marketing and Sales to be prepared for

long term aquisition
