Digital security anti-counterfeiting technology and bill printing (below)

Third, digital security and bill printing

Security Printing has always been a part of the ticket printing industry, and it is a product with high added value, including banknotes, identity cards, passports, visas, stocks, various kinds of tickets and certificates, and security labels. Tapes, cards, RFID, confidential documents, etc.; and the application of anti-counterfeiting technology is to generate identifications on these products and documents on how to identify the authenticity of the labels. The method of identification for forming these labels is mostly formed by using the printing technology. For these similar services, we also call it Security Printing.

As far as the operation of the industry is concerned, high value-added products, valuable tickets, and key documents all need proper protection. Otherwise, they can easily be counterfeited, copied, or forged and cause losses to the parties or disputes over rights and interests. According to statistics, in 2003, the estimated value of global counterfeit products exceeded US$650 billion, accounting for approximately 5% to 6% of the world's total trade volume. This may not have accounted for the losses caused by counterfeit securities and falsified documents; The importance of people's livelihood and industry. For this purpose, various units have developed a variety of anti-counterfeit technologies, including seven categories of anti-counterfeiting technologies: physical, chemical, biological, material, computer and network, printing, and packaging. For different anti-counterfeiting technologies, it can be applied to various different fields. Such as food and medical industry, wine industry, pharmaceutical industry, 3C industry, automobile industry, textile industry, antique industry and financial industry and other industries. In order to achieve product security features and brand protection purposes.

Security anti-counterfeit printing should first attach importance to the requirements of the security environment, followed by the use of anti-counterfeiting technology. The requirements of the security environment include hardware facilities (monitoring equipment), software environment (production process control) and personnel safety control.

For a high-grade qualified security anti-counterfeiting factory, it is sometimes necessary to pass some international certification to obtain the customer's approval, such as Visa, Master, JCB, AE and other international credit card certification, or the mobile phone SIM card SAS certification and recently More and more attention is paid to the information security management BS7799 certification and so on.

For Chinese ticket printers, if they want to obtain bids for the designated factories of related businesses, they must of course acquire the national secret carrier license for the printing and reproduction of state secret carriers, and these certifications not only have certain requirements for personnel safety control. In addition, standard operating procedures for the entire factory's safety environment have been formulated.

Divided by the current security and anti-counterfeit market, the application of anti-counterfeiting is mainly focused on valuable tickets, cards and security labels. The three major product projects are basically related to the printing of tickets. This is also a note for the ticket industry. problem.

The bill industry is also a document management business. Many companies, in addition to printing bills, have also invested in data processing service businesses to provide integrated services to their customers. However, in a digital environment, the industry should not only consider To the quality of products and customer service issues, and more should pay attention to the entire work process related to information security issues.

In fact, digital technology and security anti-counterfeit printing are inextricably linked. Using digital anti-counterfeiting technology, bill printing can expand the digital business service model and increase market opportunities. For example, document management is a good service model, and this service model is also relevant. Security related to anti-counterfeiting business, we summarize several projects for your reference:

(A) Prepress printing anti-counterfeiting technology

The security shading anti-counterfeit elements are used more often than not. The security shading system design is a solid line. Since there are no dots, the pattern will be printed after scanning and dots will appear. Using the naked eye, you can distinguish the real prints. Difference from fake print. These purposes are to prevent the files from being scanned and to prevent the files from being copied improperly. Among them, preventing documents from being scanned includes preventing the scanning of general scanners and scanning of high-end line scanners. Preventing copying includes preventing the copying of general application software into a similar effect; or preventing copying using the same software into a similar effect.

(II) Digital watermark anti-counterfeiting technology

Digital watermarking is a method used to protect the intellectual property rights of digital media. It hides some intellectual property rights information, such as the original author, owner, publishing office, contact company address, etc., on digital media products; at the same time, it has security and Features such as toughness to protect digital media assets. The technology of watermarking in digital media applications includes digitalized images (such as JPEG), digital sounds (such as MP3), or digital video (such as DVD). Among them, it can be divided into visible digital watermarks and invisible digital watermarks.

(C), digital authentication and encryption and decryption technology

The purpose of using digital certification is to ensure that there are no face-to-face coordinating transactions between the parties and that they have the identity of the identity of the transaction subject, so that the transaction or data transfer is undeniable. Digital authentication and encryption/decryption technology is a combination of Encryption/Decryption technology, Private Key/Pubic Key algorithm, and Digital Signatures technology. To protect data security access and applications.

(4) Anti-counterfeiting number

This part of the application includes general bar code, 2D bar code, MICR, OCR and other applications, as well as a management mechanism for designing, manufacturing, and tracking the entire product or process.

(V) Document Printing Management Mechanism

This part of the security, HP can be said to be a leader; it contains the following advanced document printing management mechanism. The purpose is to control the printing of documents to avoid improper copying of documents.

(6) Online Document Security Control Mechanism

This is a company's internal document security control policy, which includes the application of the identity authentication mechanism and file protection management measures; supplemented by dynamic policy mapping technology (Dynamic Policy Mapping), which classifies confidentiality policies for different levels of documents. Efforts to track and control documents.

(7) Digital Rights Management (DRM) and Digital Asset Management (DAM)

First of all, we know that there are two ways to protect copyright: negative and positive protection. Positive protection is encryption, so no KEY (incorrect user) will not be able to read and use. This is a standard positive protection. What is negative protection? (This part is a bit like a digital watermark.) This is when digital assets are uploaded, and the digital content is added to the publisher's signature. This seal will prove the origin and ownership of the content; With the signature method, signatures produced using PKI encryption technology have absolute legal effect.

(8) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

Radio frequency identification, also known as electronic tag (E-Tag), is a technology that uses radio frequency signals to automatically identify target objects and obtain relevant information. The basic RFID system consists of RFID tags, RFID readers, and application software. Second, the RFID tags consist of chips and Antennas. Attach the label to the object to identify and track the target.

Because such tags can carry and read and track product-related messages, the protection of individual users' privacy rights is a major application challenge.

RFID products are widely used today, such as factory automation, cargo transportation, access control, fleet management, waste tracking, security, medical management, retail distribution, air baggage, library management, medical management, apparel management, and animal husbandry (pets ) Tracking and more.

As for how to apply RFID's unique identification features to document management, ticket security, or anti-counterfeiting of other products, it is worth the consideration of the ticket printing industry.

Fourth, the conclusion

To sum up, a successful ticket printer must not only maintain the original bill printing business characteristics, create differences in the processing technology and processes, and increase the added value, but also maintain a high degree of crisis awareness in the business environment. To understand the application and development trend of digital technology in order to obtain the company's advantages; so the bill printers need more innovation strategies in order to extend their life in a declining market. The suggestions for digital impact on me are as follows:

Building digital services, running commercial paper printing, making good use of digital technology, and increasing competitive productivity
