A new verification technology has been developed into a
demonstration model within the Secure Identity project. A
small NFC chip is installed in a printed product (packaging,
document, book, etc.) and can be read by a mobile phone.
The phone then automatically and directly connects to the
chip’s publisher, enabling any desired communication.
This application is becoming known as Print2Web.
Marking images
To apply a special marking to a printed or digital image,
digital watermarks are used: hiding a message in a digital
or analogue file. This can be done in a depiction, image,
audio or video to secure copyright or detect files. There is
now a producer that constantly searches the Internet for
the presence of specific watermarks so that inappropriate
use can be traced quickly and easily.
Verifying and detecting images (including electronic
images) is quickly becoming more important due to
prohibited images (child pornography, terrorist or
politically undesirable messages, etc.) and material with
specific intellectual property. Digital watermarks are very
well suited to comparing camera images with projected
images. This is a technology also used by the film industry.
Printed documents are also equipped with digital
watermarks so that they can be verified without verification
being detected. Packaging and other material,
for example, is already being checked in this manner by
customs officers.
Secure verification portal
More and more communication is occurring over the
Internet, relying on secure protocols and connections.
Financial and security interests are growing quickly, so all
communication between the publisher of the verification
marks and the controller must be absolutely certain and
secure. They are truly in a dialogue with each other. Such
communication is currently offered only to a very limited
extent. Standard protocols are, however, currently being
intensely developed. Actual communication must be via
a secure web portal. The technology for supply can be
created quickly. Actual handling must take place in a
physically well-secured space, such as a junction of electronic
highways. Haarlem is at a European crossroads of
fast fibre-optic connections and has multiple well-secured
locations.
