High Security Document Protection
Forgery and other forms of illegal identity have been with us all through time. The significant differences between now and the past are the improved technology, the variety of affected products, and - unfortunately - many more opportunities.
In an era of increasing insecurity, the use of fraudulent identification poses an ever-growing threat to individuals and governments worldwide. Aided by advances in technology counterfeiters create forged passports, driver's licenses and state and corporate ID cards which are often indistinguishable from their legitimate counterparts. The threat to law enforcement, business and national security posed by the use of sophisticated fake IDs can only be challenged by employing anti-counterfeiting measures that are even more sophisticated.
Our extensive background as an innovator in optical and material sciences has generated technologies which are both cost effective and proven in the field. Each can be specifically tailored to a customer's needs and each can be combined with investigative and consulting services to provide security throughout the life cycle of a high security document. OpSec's products when combined with skills of security printers:
- Combat forgery & counterfeiting
- Protect against alteration of data
