Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of secure protective films for the protection of identity documents (passports, identity cards, driving licenses) and which are used to seal a page, paper, plastic or other, containing the personal information of the said identity document.
  • a transparent protective film which may include optical security elements (holograms for example), to seal personalization information printed on official documents such as passports.
  • the protective films used for this purpose are generally reactivatable films having an activatable adhesive layer, surmounted by a transparent polymer layer acting as a protective layer. Thus, these films are activated when they are applied to the document to be protected in order to activate the adhesive property of the adhesive layer. Activation can be created by heating (thermo-activatable film) or radiation (for example ultraviolet).
  • Such films include a certain number of optical safeties (UV prints, diffracting elements, holograms, variable inks, other special prints, ... widely described in the patent literature, for example US-2004/0239099 ) in order to allow authentication of the assembly consisting of a protective film and the document that it is supposed to protect. This component for sealing information is commonly called laminate.
  • the invention concerns any document containing data sealed by a protective film, laminate and passport are manufactured by different stakeholders.
  • the assembly is carried out either by the printer who integrates the laminate at the time of assembly of all pages of the passport, it is called "laminat sewn", either on the place of publication of the document, the personalization by printing the personal data to be sealed taking place according to the case either on the document or on the laminat before transfer.
  • an identity document structure comprising a main layer, a coating and a protective laminate.
  • Information from the document holder is pre-printed on the main layer.
  • the security coating is partially superimposed on the pre-printed information and represents personalized variable data to the document holder, such as an image, text or numbers.
  • the protective laminate is generic, not allowing individual management.
  • a first object of the invention is to allow such individual management of laminates so as to increase the security of laminated identity documents.
  • Another object of the invention is to secure the laminate, and thus the identity documents thus laminated, without complicating the process of manufacturing identity documents.
  • the present invention by providing the laminates with identification numbers or other data enabling the unique identification of a laminate among a set of laminates.
  • the subject of the invention is a transparent protective film for the protection of a surface, said protective film comprising the individualized and indelible inscription of a first unique film identification data. This inscription is made by the laminates supplier.
  • the identification data used may be of a different nature, provided that they can be generated in large numbers in order to ensure their uniqueness or quasi-uniqueness (use of an x number, two numbers are repeated every 10 x numbers).
  • One-dimensional bar codes widely used, two-dimensional bar codes or alphanumeric sequences are particularly suitable for the implementation of the invention.
  • the invention also relates to an identity document of an individual comprising a support and such a transparent protective film, said protective film being laminated on the support so as to seal personal information of the individual.
  • the support is the paper or plastic base (PVC - polyvinyl chloride -, PET - polyethylene terephthalate -, PETF Polycarbonate etc .7) documents such as passport, identity card, driving license or any other a document assigned to a person, which is assigned a unique identification number, for example in the form of a bar code.
  • the personal data for example the surname and forename, the date of birth, the nationality, the date of validity, a photo, ... are printed on this support, either directly or by the use of intermediate layers. For security reasons, these media now include optical security elements.
  • the protective films comprise a transparent polymer layer on one side, and an adhesive layer that is also transparent on the other, the latter allowing the laminate to adhere to the support, for example by thermo-activation.
  • the film is provided with one or more intermediate layers comprising optical security elements.
  • the identity document thus produced is more secure.
  • the process of reconstituting a document or modifying an existing document by a malicious person is more complex: the latter must now obtain a blank protective film of the same type and provide the same with appropriate identification.
  • the laminate number is protected from access by a third party, who can then modify it by chemical or laser methods. It is thus expected that said first identification data is mirrored on the face of the protective film adjacent to said support.
  • the face adjacent to the support is that which is constituted by the adhesive layer.
  • the number of the laminate can be written on this adhesive layer by processes adapted to the nature of the adhesive. Since this face is turned upside down when laminated against the document support, it is necessary to write this number or the data in reverse (by the mirror effect). In this way, when the identity document is rolled, the registered area is not directly accessible for a third party. The latter must either take off the laminate or pierce the upper layers (upper polymer layer and optionally the intermediate layers with optical security elements) to access the area. It is then easy to detect an alteration of the laminate and therefore a false document potential.
  • the registration methods which are particularly applicable to the invention are, by way of example, ink jet printing, thermal marking, laser printing, etc.
  • an ink which penetrates the thickness of adhesive and is "absorbed” by said support under the effect of a stress during rolling can be used.
  • the term "absorbed” means that at least a portion of the ink of the film is transferred to the support, the latter absorbing this ink in its paper or plastic structure.
  • Different constraints can be applied to transfer this ink: thermal and / or mechanical transfer or by ultraviolet irradiation or by infrared irradiation. In particular, it is expected that this constraint is the same as that used for rolling, allowing in a single action to achieve both rolling and ink transfer.
  • the chosen ink can be visible or invisible in the visible and revealable spectrum under UV (ultraviolet) or IR (infrared) light.
  • the protective film comprises a transparent outer layer, a transparent adhesive layer capable of being applied to said support, and a metallized surface representing a portion of the surface of the protective film, said metallized surface being disposed between said outer layer and said adhesive layer, and said first identification data is etched in said metallized surface. Etching is performed, for example, by laser marking.
  • the metallized surface may also include optical security elements such as a hologram to complicate the reproduction thereof.
  • said first identification data further comprises control data of said bar code or sequence. alphanumeric.
  • the number written on the film is supplemented with several control digits calculated according to known methods, for example according to a hash function (for example, SHA-256), a checksum per parity bit by redundancy or by cyclic redundancy (CRC).
  • a hash function for example, SHA-256
  • CRC cyclic redundancy
  • the invention also relates to a set of protective films comprising a single base having a plurality of protective films, each of the protective films comprising the registration of a first unique film identification data.
  • the protective films are arranged on said base, for example by means of a weakly adhesive layer.
  • the protective films are made in one piece with the base and are not cut yet.
  • the set of protective films may be in the form of a coiled coil, in the form of large format sheets comprising several films or in other independent formats.
  • This set is made by the laminates supplier and is easy to use for the personalization center or printer.
  • said first identification data is generated randomly for said plurality of protective films. Therefore, the circulation of a number (or a barcode) does not inform other numbers also circulated through the same coil or the same set.
  • the first identification data comprises an alphanumeric sequence and the alphanumeric sequences are generated sequentially for said plurality of protective films, for example by simple incrementation.
  • the invention also aims to solve this problem by proposing a system for managing a plurality of identity documents of individuals comprising a support and a transparent protective film laminated on said support so as to seal personal information of the individual, said protective film comprising a first identification data, the supports of said documents further comprising a second unique data of support identification, for example the passport number, said system comprising a first database, "the central database ", storing, in a single record for each document, at least the first protective film identification data, the personal information and the second media identification data.
  • These records are accessible by customs officers without modifying their interface and require only a small adjustment of existing databases to add a dedicated field to the number of the laminate. In this way, checks at customs posts can be more complete.
  • this database in particular the activation of the laminate number and its association with the passport data, is performed during a quality control step of the identity document, just before delivery.
  • Various mechanisms make it possible to activate the laminate number, for example automatically simply because this number is present in the database and therefore used, or specifically by filling in a dedicated field (a flag for example) when it is desired to effective activation, for example, when delivering the identity document to its holder.
  • the system is furthermore provided with a second database storing the first identification data of the protective films and comprising, for each of the identification data, a status indicator taking a first value.
  • a second database storing the first identification data of the protective films and comprising, for each of the identification data, a status indicator taking a first value.
  • This second database is supplied by the laminates supplier who, as they are manufactured, provides the numbers of the laminates produced and delivered for circulation.
  • the numbers are identified as good for production (first value of the status indicator), that is, the corresponding laminate is available for application to an identity document, and then identified as used (second indicator value) when they appear in the central database, that is, the corresponding laminate was used to roll an identity document.
  • first value of the status indicator that is, the corresponding laminate is available for application to an identity document
  • second indicator value when they appear in the central database, that is, the corresponding laminate was used to roll an identity document.
  • This second database can simply be in the form of an electronic file containing all available numbers.
  • the control step is usually performed by an automatic scanner that reads information and data from identity documents. It is thus provided that the system further comprises means for scanning said identity documents, said means scan means being arranged to determine the first identification data of the protective film and the second identification data of the support and to associate, in the first database, said first identification data of the protective film to a recording comprising said second carrier identification data.
  • the scanner also verifies the accuracy of the personal information provided in the database with regard to those scanned.
  • the invention also relates to a method for manufacturing, by the laminate supplier, a transparent protective film of a surface comprising a step of generating a first unique identification data and a step of associating said first identification data to said protective film by writing said first identification data to one of the faces of said film.
  • a transparent protective film of a surface comprising a step of generating a first unique identification data and a step of associating said first identification data to said protective film by writing said first identification data to one of the faces of said film.
  • This method has the advantage of remaining simple while providing an additional degree of safety of such laminates.
  • the protective film may be provided with an activatable adhesive layer and the inscription is then carried out inversely (mirror effect) on said adhesive layer.
  • the protective film or even the base from which said film is made, comprises a metallized surface disposed between the activatable adhesive layer and the outer protective layer, wherein said film identification data is etched into the metallized surface.
  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing an identity document of an individual comprising a document medium and a transparent protective film, the method comprising a step of recording personal information of the individual [ on said support or said transparent film] and a step of rolling the transparent protective film on the document support so as to seal said personal information, said transparent protective film comprising, during said rolling step, a first unique identification data of movie.
  • the invention thus differs from the prior art in that it now applies, as laminat, a protective film with an identification number or equivalent.
  • the adding step may simply consist of filling, with the laminat identification number read by the scanner, a field left free by the administration in the record relating to the data of the passport or document. This step is thus simple and requires only a slight layout of the existing databases and control software thereof.
  • the additional verification carried out by the invention is simple and consists in checking the existence of a record associating the laminate number with the passport number.
  • the invention applies in particular to any security laminate used for the production of sensitive documents such as passports or other identity document.
  • This last layer 4 is stamped to form, under the action of heat, micro-structured zones constituting the optical security elements.
  • a vacuum deposit on the free surface of the stamped layer 4, a layer of a transparent material having a high refractive index optical 5, for example a transparent dielectric material including ZnS.
  • This layer is also an optical and holographic security element.
  • the lower surface of the refractive layer 5 is coated with a heat-reactive adhesive layer 6.
  • Individual personalization of the laminates is provided by printing a number 7 on the lower surface of the adhesive layer. This impression is made in mirror.
  • the adhesive layer is transparent either by nature or after thermal activation or equivalent that is to say once laminated, this layer must be transparent so as to allow the vision from above of the protective film number 7 printed.
  • finishing typically the manufacture of coils / reels or components to be inserted in the passport.
  • customization can take place before or after finishing.
  • FIG. 2 shows a document 8 laminated by the previous protective film.
  • the personalized and finished film (see FIG.1) is placed on the substrate 8 of the document to be laminated, adhesive side on the document.
  • a thermal activation of the adhesive layer 6 makes it possible to seal, on the document 8, the information printed on this document as well as the laminate number 7.
  • the polyester carrier 1 allowing easy handling and protection of the film before application is removed at 2.
  • the remaining layers are transparent so as to allow through-reading of the number 7 printed in mirror and thus read straight.
  • FIG. 3 Another embodiment of the film is shown in FIG. 3.
  • the production starts from the same holographic rolling film comprising the layers 1 to 4 mentioned above.
  • vacuum deposition is performed on the free face of the stamped layer 4, aluminum or other metal 9. This deposit can be located on only a portion of the stamped layer.
  • a demetallization is performed on all areas of the film to remain transparent to leave only the inscriptions 10. Many demetallization processes are known and can be used.
  • the individual personalization step of the laminates is carried out by laser marking in the metallized layer of a number, for example by local destruction of the layer.
  • the protective film thus produced is applied in a manner similar to that described in relation to FIG. 2.
  • the laminate manufacturer 40 performs the printing of the laminate numbers on the adhesive back of the coil 41 of protective films via a printer 42.
  • the manufacturer 40 then transfers (43) the roll of laminates numbered to the printer 44 which will roll these films on the official documents to be sealed. Transfer of the numbers made corresponding to the numbers carried by the laminates is also achieved (45) either via a database entered by the manufacturer 40 or via a dedicated digital file.
  • the laminate manufacturer 40 can securely transmit (46) to its final customer 47 (not the printer, but generally the state service responsible for issuing the passports), a file 48 containing the all codes issued.
