1.Introduction

Initial position

• the world has dramatically changed in the last 50 years, with this,

the meaning of security documents has changed

• thread of international terrorism and crime leads to huge demand in

securing such documents to survive as open and free societies

• modern security documents include multiple security elements to

help

against counterfeit; many countries are issuing ID cards and

passports with integrated chip and many security features to protect

against falsification

• Due to this criminals and terrorists are using counterfeighted

breeder documents like birth certificates to get a new identity

Birth certificate – entry to get ID card and passport

According to Interpol, it is easier to counterfeit a birth certificate which mostly is just a piece of paper with nearly no or just a few security elements and to get an ID card or a passport officially rather than trying to counterfeit a modern ID card with a lot of security elements.Therefore, there will be a huge effort to close this weak link by creating paper documents with higher security which need to be inspected, sorted and packed.

2.Elements used in

security papers

Secure paper is used for multiple governmental applications

• Secure documents are widespread all over the world

• These are official statements like birth certificates, car- or house ownership documents and many others

• Most of them are plain paper documents with limited security elements

• These documents certify officially a status like ownership or identity.

Examples:

•Certificate of birth

•Car registration document

•Visa

•Insurance registration

Security elements used for secure documentsSecurity papers have different security features to protect the document against copying and counterfeiting. Examples for the security features are:

3.Security elements

in manufacturing and printing

We can divide the security elements, based on the processes, into production and personalization. In the standard process, you can distinguish as follows:

Security elements are added to each of the processes – but in separate production steps. Most of the time, production and personalization is done in separate locations. These documents are normally personalized locally at a governmental office.

The secure paper will be manufactured and printed in two steps of production. The printing process includes offset, intaglio, guillochs, hotstamp and numbering. In every step of production, the quality of the secure element will be verified.

5.DISS

The solution for the automatic inspection and sorting of secure

papers

DISS – General description

The DISS is the answer from Otto Künnecke to solve the problems of verification and packaging of high security papers like birth certificates and car registration documents.

The DISS inspects, verifies, groups and packs secure documents , creates delivery notes and/or transport labels for shipment to local offices. A database connection guarantees a secure audit and controlled process.

The DISS is fully modular and can be configured and upgraded to your needs with additional functions like ink-jet or thermal printing, labelling, hotstamp or packaging.

Summary

• Today, more and more security elements are used for secure paper manufacturing and printing.

• These security elements have to be verified manually. • Each document has a unique ID number. This number has to be

monitored and audited throughout the whole process from pre-printing to local personalization.

• The DISS is the perfect answer to secure and automize this process.

• The DISS:• Creates an audit file of each verified and packaged document. • Ensures total quality control of each document.• Rejects documents with missing, defected or wrong

elements.• Ensures the exact amount of documents per final destination. • Prints delivery note and label.• Attaches holograms, labels and prints additional

information with inkjet or thermal print.• Groups and packs security documents for final dispatch.
