Definitions

  • US 4,255,652 and EP 0 097 570 A2 include authenticity tests of Documents, wherein at least one security element with an electrical Coding of information by means of bar-shaped, electrically conductive structures capacitive sensing determines the electrical conductivity and through Reference signal comparison is evaluated.
  • fine structures like them can be found for example in holograms, can be specified by the Do not detect procedure.
  • US 4,913,504 describes the production of metallic Holograms, without going into a novel security-relevant authenticity check.
  • a further increase in test safety results from the combination of the test electrical conductivity with further authenticity features of the diffractive optical effective Layer By introducing additional authenticity features into demetallized segments within discontinuous metallization layers and / or partially metallic ones Layers and / or between zones of metallic layers in different planes At the same time, these characteristics as well as the electrical conductivity can be tested.
  • Evaluation electronics is an authenticity signal of another sensor for determining the authenticity logically linked to the sensor for measuring the electrical conductivity.
  • At the exit the evaluation is a classifying the diffractive optical effective layer Signal for further processing.
  • This additional authenticity feature has fluorescent, phosphorescent or light-absorbing properties or differs from its environment due to different magnetic properties. Accordingly, an optical or magnetic sensor is used.
