Abstract
A unique method for producing one or more counterfeit-protected banknotes on a banknote paper source having multiple inclusions of irreproducible-patterns (IRPAT) and digital patterns is provided for. A data matrix is generated in relation to certain characteristics such as digital security techniques and banknote denomination, and the data matrix and IRPAT are associatively arranged on banknote paper source for authenticating the banknote as currency. A unique method for verifying a banknote produced by the method of the invention is also provided.
Claims20
A method for producing one or more counterfeit-protected banknotes on a banknote paper source having multiple inclusions of irreproducible-patterns (IRPAT), comprising:
- providing for a cutout of a fixed predetermined dimension of the IRPAT,
- generating a message in relation to at least one digital signature security technique,
- transforming the generated message into a data matrix,
- providing the data matrix and an IRPAT portion in an associated relation for printing on the banknote paper source,
- and printing a final banknote image over the banknote paper source having the data matrix and IRPAT portion in associated relation.
A method for verifying one or more counterfeit-protected banknotes printed on a banknote paper source having multiple inclusions of irreproducible-patterns (IRPAT), comprising:
- inserting a subject banknote into a checking device,
- determining whether the subject banknote has inclusions embedded in the irreproducible pattern (IRPAT) banknote paper,
- reading a data matrix and denomination of the subject banknote and extracting a message from the read data matrix in relation to at least one digital signature security technique, and determining the authenticity of the subject banknote.
An authentic counterfeit-protected banknote having one or more irreproducible patterns (IRPAT) and one or more digital patterns, geometrically associated with one another and printed on a banknote paper source, wherein the banknote paper source has one or more synthetic inclusions, the digital patterns comprise one or more data matrixes associated with at least the denomination of the banknote, and the combination of the IRPAT and digital patterns are detectable by a checking device.
