Summary
In a global world, identity frauds are an important issue to ensure security throughout the EU and its member states. Improved protection systems have made more difficult counterfeiting ID documents, but all currently adopted solutions are potentially subject to fraud.
This is the reason why radically novel security strategies are required to ensure security for the next decades.
The PROTECHT project (Providing RObust high TECHnology Tags based on linear carbon structures) aims at developing advanced knowledge-based anticounterfeiting tags based on polymer nanocomposites containing novel carbon nanostructures.
The unique optical response of such systems allows to design security tags, layers and fibers embedding barcodes to be implemented in ID documents as well as banknotes.
These barcodes can be produced through low cost manufacturing techniques and thus bear strong commercial potential even for the implementation in low income countries.
This proof of concept is devoted to the exploration of the development path to be pursued to take the unique PROTECHT technology to the market.
This is the reason why radically novel security strategies are required to ensure security for the next decades.
