Definitions

  • the invention relates to a value document, a security element and a security paper with a machine-readable authenticity mark.
  • the invention also relates to a method for checking the authenticity of such value documents, a security element or a security paper.
  • Security documents such as banknotes, stocks, bonds, certificates, vouchers, checks, high-quality admission tickets, but also other papers that are prone to counterfeiting, such as passports or other identification documents, are usually provided with various security features to increase the security against counterfeiting.
  • the security feature used is, for example, a security thread embedded in the banknote, an applied security strip or a self-supporting transfer element, such as a patch or a label, which is applied to a value document after its manufacture.
  • the document describes EP 0 340 898 A2 a security coding which appears colorless or only slightly colored in the visible spectral range, and which has a significant absorption in the near infrared, in particular at a wavelength between 750 nm and 1000 nm.
  • the security coding it is overprinted with a second colored marking which is colored in the visible spectral range and which is transparent in the infrared spectral range.
  • infrared detectors which are sensitive in the wavelength range of 780 nm to 800 nm, and with which the infrared absorption of the security coding can be detected.
  • Such infrared detectors are now commercially available and widely used.
  • the protection against counterfeiting by the security coding described can therefore no longer be estimated to be particularly high, since the portion of the coding that is invisible to the human eye can be detected by anyone without any special effort. This results in starting points for unauthorized imitations or adjustments of the security coding of EP 0 340 898 A2 ,
  • a security feature is machine readable, since then, for example in a banknote processing machine, an automatic authenticity check of a large number of value documents can be carried out in a short time.
  • an obscure or owner-unobservable review of a document or a protected item is often sought, which typically can only be done using a machine-readable security feature.
  • the object of the present invention is to specify a mark of authenticity for documents of value and other items to be protected, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art and ensures increased security against counterfeiting.
  • the authenticity mark should be machine-readable.
  • a security element for securing an object a security paper for the production of security or security Security documents, methods for checking the authenticity of said objects and a device for performing the authenticity check are the subject of the independent claims. Further developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
  • the value document, security element and security paper according to the invention builds on the state of the art in that the authenticity mark comprises a luminescent marking substance and a marking substance which absorbs in the infrared spectral range. It has been found that when using only one marker, the analysis and imitation of the authenticity mark are relatively easily possible, since always only one property of the marker has to be recognized and imitated. If, on the other hand, several substances are combined which have the same or very similar effects, for example different fluorescences, then the two properties can influence one another in the detection, so that successful detection can no longer be guaranteed in all cases.
  • the markers do not interfere in the combination according to the invention, since the detection of different material properties are queried. Furthermore, the infrared-absorbing tracer provides no active signal for the analysis of the substances contained, so that the analysis is made significantly more difficult for the counterfeiter. On the other hand, the analysis or adjustment of luminescent markers is comparatively simple, since the emitted radiation can easily be made visible by irradiation of a broad spectral range.
  • the luminescent marker emits above 1200 nm. This has the advantage that the luminescence can not then be detected with conventional and readily available infrared detectors, which are sensitive mainly in the wavelength range of 780 to 800 nm. Due to the silicon band gap of 1.12 eV, conventional silicon photodiodes do not permit the detection of infrared radiation with wavelengths above about 1100 nm. Detectors for longer-wave infrared radiation are considerably more complicated and are not available to everyone.
  • the luminescent marking substance emits in the absorption region of the infrared-absorbing marking substance. This makes it possible to exploit the already mentioned interaction effects of the two markers.
  • the excitation of the luminescent marking substance advantageously also takes place in the infrared spectral range, preferably in the spectral range from about 800 nm to about 1000 nm.
  • the infrared-absorbing marking substance in the visible spectral range is essentially colorless or has only a weak intrinsic color. He is then invisible under ordinary lighting conditions or appears only slightly striking.
  • the infrared-absorbing marker may be transparent in the visible. Even at a wavelength of about 800 nm, the infrared-absorbing marker advantageously still has no significant absorption in order to escape the detection by commercially available infrared detectors.
  • the infrared-absorbing marker preferably only in the spectral range between about 1200 nm and about 2500 nm, preferably in the spectral range between about 1500 nm and about 2000 nm.
  • the infrared absorption of the authenticity mark is then not detectable at the wavelengths of conventional infrared detectors, but only occurs in the longer wavelength and more difficult to access spectral range above 1200 nm, or above 1500 nm.
  • Preferred infrared-absorbing markers have in the visible spectral range less than about 40%, in particular less than about 25% of the absorption in the range of 1200 nm to 2500 nm or in the range of 1500 nm to 2000 nm, based in each case on the area below Absorption curve for the respective spectral range.
  • infrared-absorbing markers for example, materials based on doped semiconductor materials are used. Also, a metal oxide-containing substances are suitable. These are characterized in particular by their aging resistance.
  • the infrared-absorbing marker is preferably in particle form with an average particle size smaller than 50 ⁇ m. As a result, visible light is only slightly scattered by the particles, so that the marking substance is colorless or has only a weak intrinsic color.
  • Examples of infrared absorbers which show no appreciable absorption neither in the visible nor at about 800 nm are about 2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-diylidenes bis [N, N-bis (4-dibutylaminophenyl) ammonium] bis (hexafluoroantimonates). with the empirical formula C 62 H 92 N 6 F 12 Sb 2 , or the dyes ADS 990 MC with the empirical formula C 32 H 30 N 2 S 4 Ni, or ADS 1120P with the empirical formula C 52 H 44 Cl 2 O 6 from Siber Hegner GmbH, Hamburg, dar.
  • the luminescent marker may be formed on the basis of a rare earth-doped host lattice. Examples of such luminescent markers are as in the document WO 99/38701 contain.
  • the luminescent marking substance and the infrared-absorbing marking substance are formed by separate substances which are incorporated separately into the value document or onto which the value document is applied. This allows a great deal of flexibility in the selection of the two markers in order to meet different and partially contradictory requirements, for example, in terms of safety, age resistance, wear resistance and manufacturing costs.
  • the luminescent marking substance is introduced into the document of value over its entire surface or applied to the document of value, for example printed on it.
  • the luminescent marker then gives a uniform background for an absorbance or emission measurement, which can be used, for example, as a constant reference signal in a fastness test.
  • the luminescent marking material only at selected locations, for example along predetermined tracks, on or apply.
  • the document of value may comprise a substrate, in particular a paper substrate, in the volume of which the luminescent marking substance is introduced.
  • a substrate in particular a paper substrate
  • the pigment particles used for marking are admixed to a gas stream or a liquid stream and introduced into a paper web.
  • the methods are particularly suitable for marking security paper that is used for the production of security or value documents, such as banknotes, identity cards or the like.
  • the luminescent marker may be added to a coating slip or may be applied to the surface of a document of value or to the substrate materials used to make it together with surface sizing.
  • the luminescent marker can also, for example by coextrusion, can be introduced.
  • the infrared-absorbing marking substance is preferably applied to the value document, in particular it is printed on the document of value.
  • all suitable printing methods can be used. Ink jet printing is particularly preferred because it also allows curved surfaces to be printed in a simple manner and an individualization of the imprint for different items is easily possible.
  • the arrangement of the infrared-absorbing marking substance represents information, such as patterns, characters or codes.
  • the information is preferably encrypted.
  • the information shown may be for example a logo, a national emblem, a lettering or a letter / number combination.
  • the arrangement of the infrared-absorbing marking substance forms a barcode.
  • the term "barcode” encompasses any one-dimensional or two-dimensional pattern of black bars and white bars (gaps).
  • the bar / space sequence represents a binary sequence of numbers.
  • the barcode can be read for example with an optoelectronic scanner by the radiation of a light emitting diode or laser diode is guided over the bars and the scattered light is picked up by a photodetector and fed to an evaluation that extracts the encoded information from the pulse sequence obtained. Barcodes can be read very well by machine and deliver an almost error-free reading result, especially in connection with check digits.
  • Suitable barcodes are universal formats such as the Code 2/5, the Code 2/5 Interleaved, the Code 128, or the Code 39, but also special formats such as the commercially available codes UPC, EAN-8 or EAN-13 , Two-dimensional barcodes which provide a particularly highly condensed recording can also be advantageously used within the scope of the invention.
  • the code 2/5 Interleaved is described, which is used for purely numerical codes. In this case, five elements (bars or gaps) are used per utility. Two of these five are wide elements, the remaining three elements are narrow. Straight line symbols are represented by a gap and an odd position by a bar.
  • Code 39 which uses a bar code representation of 9 elements (5 bars and 4 spaces), three of which are wide and six narrow, both numbers and letters can be represented. For example, this can be used to code the national currency (EUR, USD, etc.) and value numbers or other data, such as the issue date of the banknote, on a banknote.
  • the luminescent marking substance and the infrared-absorbing marking substance are present in overlapping regions of the value document. Then, for example, the partial absorption of the luminescence emission by the infrared-absorbing marking substance can be used as an indirect and difficult to emulate readout process.
  • the document of value has a printed layer which partially or completely covers the regions of the document of value provided with the infrared-absorbing marking substance.
  • the print layer may be opaque in the visible spectral region and transparent or translucent in the absorption region of the infrared-absorbing marker so that it obscures the presence of the infrared-absorbing label in the visible, but does not hinder the detection of infrared absorption at a test wavelength.
  • the print layer is opaque in the emission region of the luminescent marker to enable differential reading of an infrared absorbing label, as described below.
  • the printing layer is applied to the document of value using a gravure printing technique.
  • the machine-readable authenticity mark is large-area, in particular with an area of 100 mm 2 or more, preferably with an area of 400 mm 2 or more.
  • Such a large-area authenticity mark is particularly suitable for the marking of banknotes, since most cash handling machines have transport belts that cover parts of the banknote.
  • large-scale license plates can be read more easily and with less expensive readers.
  • a larger area is advantageous for the infrared luminescent part of the authenticity mark a larger area.
  • the infrared-absorbing tracer and / or the luminescent tracer is incorporated in the registration mark with a coverage of 30% or more, preferably about 50%.
  • the invention comprises a security element for securing an object with a machine-readable authenticity mark of the kind described above in connection with the value document.
  • the security element can in particular be detachably arranged on a carrier layer.
  • the security element as a label, seal, transfer tape, or band is designed as a different planar transfer element and can be applied to any objects to be protected, for example on packaging or wrapping, but also on securities and other security documents.
  • the invention also includes a security paper for the production of security or value documents, such as banknotes, identity cards or the like, with a machine-readable authenticity mark, as described above in connection with the value document.
  • security or value documents such as banknotes, identity cards or the like
  • the issue of the authenticity mark is determined on two opposite sides of the document of value, security element or security paper and the authenticity evaluation is carried out on the basis of a comparison of the emission from the opposite sides.
  • the determination of the emission is advantageously carried out in a spatially resolved manner.
  • the signal of one side for example the back of a banknote, can then be used as a reference signal relative to which the signal of the other side, for example the front side, can be evaluated.
  • the authentication can be performed based on a comparison of the emission from the opposite sides.
  • the absorption of the authenticity mark is advantageously determined by means of a measurement, in particular a spatially resolved measurement, of the transmitted and / or remitted infrared radiation.
