Description

DISPOSITIF DE SECURISATION D'UNE INFORMATION CONFIDENTIELLE DEVICE FOR SECURING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
L'invention a trait à un dispositif de sécurisation d'une information confidentielle mentionnée dans un document. Elle concerne également un procédé de mise en œuvre d'un tel dispositif.The invention relates to a device for securing confidential information mentioned in a document. It also relates to a method of implementing such a device.
Un document peut permettre de communiquer, de manière confidentielle et à un destinataire donné, une information, par exemple un code alphanumérique. Ce type de document se rencontre, par exemple, dans les domaines de la banque, des télécommunications, de la santé, du jeu et de la sécurité. L'application du dispositif de l'invention est également envisagée dans d'autres domaines où circulent des informations ne devant être lues que par un nombre restreint de personnes.A document can make it possible to communicate, in a confidential manner and to a given recipient, information, for example an alphanumeric code. This type of document can be found, for example, in the fields of banking, telecommunications, health, gaming and security. The application of the device of the invention is also envisaged in other areas where circulate information to be read only by a small number of people.
Afin d'assurer la confidentialité de l'information lors de la circulation du document entre l'expéditeur et le destinataire, on connaît, par exemple de FR-A-2 840 251 , un dispositif où une information confidentielle est recouverte d'une impression de masquage, l'information devenant lisible par grattage de l'impression de masquage. En fonction de l'impression de masquage, il peut être possible, sous un certain éclairage, de lire l'information sans gratter l'impression de masquage. Par ailleurs, un grattage excessif peut endommager l'information imprimée. Il existe alors un risque de lecture erronée ou impossible d'au moins une partie de l'information. On connaît également par WO-A-99/24267 un élément de masquage dont la partie recouvrant l'information est prédécoupée et non adhérente à celle-ci. Il suffit d'enlever cette partie pour avoir accès à l'information. En soulevant partiellement l'élément de masquage au niveau de la prédécoupe, on peut lire l'information. Par ailleurs, on peut repositionner cet élément de masquage après lecture.In order to ensure the confidentiality of the information during the circulation of the document between the sender and the recipient, there is known, for example from FR-A-2 840 251, a device in which confidential information is covered with an impression. masking, the information becoming readable by scraping the masking print. Depending on the masking print, it may be possible under some lighting to read the information without scratching the masking print. In addition, excessive scratching can damage the printed information. There is then a risk of misreading or impossible reading of at least some of the information. Also known from WO-A-99/24267 a masking element whose part covering the information is pre-cut and not adherent thereto. Just remove this part to access the information. By partially lifting the masking element at the precut, the information can be read. Moreover, this masking element can be repositioned after reading.
EP-A-1 293 359 décrit un film sur lequel est imprimée une information. Ce film est collé sur un document, au niveau d'une impression de masquage. L'enlèvement du film, à l'aide d'une languette, provoque un défibrage du matériau constitutif du document, en l'espèce du papier. Avec un tel dispositif, il est possible de décoller le film, de lire l'information, de repositionner et recoller le film sans que le défibrage du papier soit visible.EP-A-1 293 359 discloses a film on which information is printed. This film is pasted on a document, at the level of a masking print. The removal of the film, using a tongue, causes defibration of the material constituting the document, in this case paper. With such a device, it is possible to take off the film, read the information, reposition and re-glue the film without the defibration of the paper is visible.
C'est à ces inconvénients qu'entend plus particulièrement remédier l'invention en proposant un dispositif de sécurisation d'une information confidentielle où l'information ne peut être remasquée après avoir été lue une première fois, cela sans risque de lecture erronée.It is these drawbacks that the invention intends to remedy more particularly by proposing a device for securing confidential information where the information can not be replayed after having been read a first time, without any risk of erroneous reading.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de sécurisation d'une information confidentielle, mentionnée dans un document, ce dispositif comprenant un élément formant support de cette information et un élément amovible de masquage de l'information, caractérisé en ce que le dispositif comprend au moins une zone de faiblesse structurelle ménagée dans le document, au voisinage de l'élément formant support d'information, cette zone étant solidaire de l'élément amovible de masquage.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a device for securing confidential information, mentioned in a document, this device comprising a support element for this information and a removable information masking element, characterized in that the device comprises at least one zone of structural weakness in the document, in the vicinity of the information medium element, this zone being integral with the removable masking element.
La présence d'une zone de faiblesse structurelle dans le document, solidarisée avec l'élément de masquage, entraîne une détérioration irréversible, non réparable et non dissimulable du document lorsque l'élément de masquage a été retiré pour une première lecture de l'information.The presence of a zone of structural weakness in the document, secured to the masking element, causes an irreversible, non-repairable and non-concealable deterioration of the document when the masking element has been removed for a first reading of the information. .
Selon des aspects avantageux mais non obligatoires de l'invention, le dispositif peut incorporer une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivants :According to advantageous but non-mandatory aspects of the invention, the device may incorporate one or more of the following features:
- La zone de faiblesse structurelle comprend au moins une zone prédécoupée dans le document. Cette zone de faiblesse comprend deux bandes prédécoupées réparties au voisinage de deux bords parallèles de l'élément formant support d'information, de part et d'autre de celui-ci. - L'élément formant support d'information comprend au moins une première étiquette sur laquelle est imprimée l'information, l'étiquette étant apposée sur une première face du document, couvrant une fenêtre ménagée dans le document et débordant sur le document.The zone of structural weakness comprises at least one pre-cut area in the document.

- la figure 6 est une vue analogue à la figure 3 pour un dispositif conforme à un second mode de réalisation de l'invention. Le dispositif de sécurisation d'une information représenté aux figures 1 à 5 est appliqué sur un document D, en l'occurrence une feuille de papier ou de carton à faible grammage. Par document, on entend un matériau en feuille, à base notamment de cellulose ou de polymères, de dimensions standardisées ou non. Un tel document D comporte une information confidentielle et, éventuellement, d'autres informations non confidentielles. Une information confidentielle s'entend comme une information dont la lecture est réservée à une ou plusieurs personne(s) prédéfinie(s). Cette information est, par exemple, un code alphanumérique C permettant d'activer un appareil de téléphonie, une carte bancaire, d'avoir accès à un lieu précis ou à une base de données, un site internet ou intranet, d'utiliser un appareil donné ou tout autre accès et/ou usage soumis à restriction.- Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 3 for a device according to a second embodiment of the invention. The device for securing information shown in Figures 1 to 5 is applied to a document D, in this case a sheet of paper or cardboard with a low basis weight. "Document" means a sheet material, based in particular on cellulose or polymers, of standardized dimensions or not. Such a document D includes confidential information and possibly other non-confidential information. Confidential information is information intended to be read by one or more predefined persons. This information is, for example, an alphanumeric code C to activate a telephony device, a bank card, to have access to a specific place or a database, a website or intranet, to use a device given or any other access and / or use subject to restriction.
Le dispositif comprend plusieurs éléments représentés en éclaté à la figure 3. Une première étiquette 1 forme une première partie de l'élément formant support de l'information. Cette première étiquette 1 est constituée par une feuille en un matériau transparent, avantageusement un matériau mat. Il s'agit par exemple d'une étiquette en polyester. En variante, cet élément 1 peut être non transparent ou teinté. Dans l'exemple, cette première étiquette 1 a une forme rectangulaire et des dimensions voisines de 25 mm de large sur 50 mm de long. En variante, d'autres dimensions et/ou formes sont possibles.The device comprises several elements shown exploded in Figure 3. A first label 1 forms a first part of the element forming information medium. This first label 1 is constituted by a sheet of a transparent material, advantageously a matte material. This is for example a polyester label. Alternatively, this element 1 may be non-transparent or tinted. In the example, this first label 1 has a rectangular shape and dimensions close to 25 mm wide and 50 mm long. Alternatively, other dimensions and / or shapes are possible.
Cette première étiquette 1 est adaptée pour être positionnée sur une première face Di du document D, au niveau d'une fenêtre 3 préalablement découpée dans le document D.This first label 1 is adapted to be positioned on a first face Di of the document D, at a window 3 previously cut in the document D.
Au moins un bord de cette fenêtre 3 se trouve au voisinage d'une zone de faiblesse structurelle 30, 31 du document D. Dans l'exemple, deux bords parallèles de la fenêtre 3 sont situés, chacun, au voisinage d'une zone de faiblesse structurelle. Ces zones sont obtenues par prédécoupage de deux bandes 30, 31 dans le document D. La fenêtre 3 a des dimensions sensiblement inférieures à celles de l'étiquette 1 , de manière à ce qu'au moins un et, avantageusement, tous les bords de l'étiquette 1 recouvrent chacun un bord de la fenêtre 3 tout en débordant sur le document D. La largeur de recouvrement du document D par l'étiquette 1 est suffisante pour éviter toute déchirure de la fenêtre 3 et/ou désolidarisation de l'étiquette 1.At least one edge of this window 3 is in the vicinity of a zone of structural weakness 30, 31 of the document D. In the example, two parallel edges of the window 3 are located, each, in the vicinity of a zone of structural weakness. These zones are obtained by precutting two strips 30, 31 in the document D. The window 3 has dimensions substantially smaller than those of the label 1, so that at least one and, advantageously, all the edges of the label 1 each cover an edge of the window 3 while overflowing on the document D. The cover width of the document D by the label 1 is sufficient to prevent tearing of the window 3 and / or disconnection of the label 1.
Cette première étiquette 1 est adaptée pour coopérer avec une seconde partie de l'élément formant support de l'information constituée par une deuxième étiquette 4. Cette deuxième étiquette 4 est de nature et de forme similaires à la première. En variante, elle est de nature et/ou de forme différentes. Dans tous les cas, elle est transparente et doit être adaptée pour recouvrir également la fenêtre 3 tout en débordant sur le document D. Avantageusement, l'étiquette 4 est réalisée dans un matériau transparent et brillant, par exemple en polypropylène.This first label 1 is adapted to cooperate with a second part of the information-forming element constituted by a second label 4. This second label 4 is similar in nature and shape to the first. Alternatively, it is of different nature and / or shape. In all cases, it is transparent and must be adapted to also cover the window 3 while overflowing on the document D. Advantageously, the label 4 is made of a transparent and shiny material, for example polypropylene.
L'information confidentielle C est imprimée, en miroir, sur une face 5 de la première étiquette 1. L'information C est donc imprimée à l'envers sur la face 5, de manière à être lue, à l'endroit, à partir de la face 50 de l'étiquette 1 , opposée à la face 5. L'information C est rapportée sur l'étiquette 1 par des techniques de marquage connues en soi, par exemple par impression offset, impression laser, impression à jet d'encre ou autres. Les première et deuxième étiquettes 1 , 4 constitutives de l'élément formant support de l'information sont adaptées pour être disposées de part et d'autre du document D. En effet, la première étiquette 1 est située sur la face D-i, par exemple le recto, du document D et la deuxième étiquette 4 est située, en regard sur l'autre face D2, en l'espèce le verso du document. L'information C se trouve donc lisible, à l'endroit, lorsqu'on regarde le verso du document et lisible, à l'envers, lorsqu'on regarde le recto du document.The confidential information C is printed, mirrored, on a face 5 of the first label 1. The information C is printed upside down on the face 5, so as to be read, at the place, from of the face 50 of the label 1, opposite to the face 5. The information C is reported on the label 1 by marking techniques known per se, for example by offset printing, laser printing, inkjet printing or others. The first and second labels 1, 4 constituting the information-forming element are adapted to be arranged on either side of the document D. Indeed, the first label 1 is located on the face Di, for example the front of the document D and the second label 4 is located opposite the other side D 2 , in this case the back of the document. The information C is therefore readable, at the place, when looking at the back of the document and readable, upside down, when looking at the front of the document.
La face non imprimée 50 de l'étiquette 1 fixée au recto Di du document D est recouverte, de façon pérenne, par la deuxième étiquette 4. Pour cela, la deuxième étiquette 4 est positionnée sur la fenêtre 3, sur le verso D2 du document, et solidarisée à sur la première étiquette 1 à l'aide d'un adhésif.The unprinted face 50 of the label 1 fixed to the front Di of the document D is covered, in a perennial manner, by the second label 4. For this, the second label 4 is positioned on the window 3, on the back D 2 of the document, and secured to the first label 1 with an adhesive.
La deuxième étiquette 4 est équipée d'au moins une zone de préhension 2 formée par une languette 2 ménagée sur un de ses bords. En variante, l'étiquette 4 peut être dépourvue de languette 2.The second label 4 is equipped with at least one gripping area 2 formed by a tongue 2 formed on one of its edges. Alternatively, the label 4 may be devoid of tab 2.
L'étiquette 4 est ensuite recouverte d'un élément de masquage 6 adapté pour dissimuler l'information C du côté du verso D2 du document D. L'élément de masquage est formé par une étiquette 6. Cette troisième étiquette 6 est de forme et de dimensions globalement similaires à celles des étiquettes 1 et 4, de manière à les recouvrir totalement. En variante, elle est adaptée pour ne recouvrir que la partie où se trouve inscrite l'information C, la partie "vide" des étiquettes 1 , 4 n'étant pas masquée. Cet élément de masquage 6 comporte une impression de brouillage 7, ou de "caviardage", formée avantageusement par un entrelacement de chiffres et/ou de lettres. Cet entrelacement forme un camouflage empêchant de lire, directement ou par transparence, l'information C située en dessous, cela que la tentative de lecture se fasse à partir du recto ou du verso du document D. L'utilisation conjointe d'étiquettes 1 et 4 transparentes, avec une impression de brouillage 7 sur l'étiquette 6, permet d'éviter toute lecture de l'information C par transparence avec un éclairage direct ou indirect. Les caractères constitutifs de l'information sont dissimulés par le caviardage 7, avec le même contraste lumineux que celui-ci et ne peuvent donc être distingués des motifs formant le caviardage 7 en faisant varier l'éclairage. Pour cela, il convient que les étiquettes 1et 4, l'information C et le caviardage 7 soient réalisés dans des teintes globalement identiques. Au contraire, l'utilisation de teintes différentes entre les différents éléments 1 , 4 et 7 et l'information C aurait induit une différence de contraste entre l'information C et les éléments 1 , 4 et 7, ce qui aurait permis une lecture de l'information par transparence.The label 4 is then covered with a masking element 6 adapted to conceal the information C on the back side D 2 of the document D. The masking element is formed by a label 6. This third label 6 is shaped and of overall dimensions similar to those of the labels 1 and 4, so as to completely cover them. In a variant, it is adapted to cover only the part where the information C is inscribed, the "empty" part of the labels 1, 4 not being masked. This masking element 6 comprises a scrambling printing 7, or "caviardage", advantageously formed by interleaving numbers and / or letters. This interlacing is a camouflage preventing the information C below from being read directly or transparently, so that the reading attempt is done from the front or the back of the document D. The joint use of labels 1 and 4 transparent, with a jamming impression 7 on the label 6, prevents any reading of the information C by transparency with direct or indirect lighting. The constituent characters of the information are concealed by the redaction 7, with the same luminous contrast as the latter and can not be distinguished from the patterns forming the caviardage 7 by varying the lighting. For that, he It is appropriate that the labels 1 and 4, the information C and the redaction 7 are made in substantially identical colors. On the contrary, the use of different hues between the different elements 1, 4 and 7 and the information C would have induced a difference in contrast between the information C and the elements 1, 4 and 7, which would have made it possible to read information by transparency.
Avantageusement, seule la partie 60 de la troisième étiquette 6 qui recouvre l'organe de préhension 2 et qui forme de facto un élément de préhension, n'est pas équipée d'un masquage. Cette partie 60 est avantageusement pourvue d'une indication précisant, par exemple, l'utilisation de l'élément de masquage 6. Cette indication peut être un marquage de couleur, un pictogramme ou mentionnée en toutes lettres. En variante, l'étiquette 6 peut être pourvue de plusieurs parties 60 formant plusieurs éléments de préhension.Advantageously, only the portion 60 of the third label 6 which covers the gripping member 2 and which forms a de facto gripping element, is not equipped with masking. This part 60 is advantageously provided with an indication specifying, for example, the use of the masking element 6. This indication may be a color marking, a pictogram or mentioned in full. Alternatively, the label 6 may be provided with several parts 60 forming a plurality of gripping elements.
Par-dessus l'élément de masquage 6, on positionne un élément de protection 8 en feuille. Cet élément de protection en feuille est formé par une quatrième étiquette 8, dans l'exemple transparente, dont les dimensions tant en largeur qu'en longueur sont supérieures aux dimensions de l'étiquette de masquage 6 et au moins égales à la somme des dimensions de la fenêtre 3 et des bandes prédécoupées 30, 31. Cette quatrième étiquette 8 vient ainsi recouvrir complètement la face supérieure 9 de l'étiquette de masquage 6. La quatrième étiquette 8 déborde de part et d'autre de l'étiquette 6, de manière à recouvrir non seulement l'aire de la fenêtre 3 mais également les aires des zones de faiblesse structurelle 30, 31. Cet élément de protection 8 est fixé de façon pérenne à la troisième étiquette 6 et aux bandes prédécoupées 30, 31. L'élément de protection 8 permet ainsi de solidariser ensemble l'élément de masquage 6 et le document D.On top of the masking element 6, a protective element 8 is positioned as a sheet. This sheet protection element is formed by a fourth label 8, in the transparent example, whose dimensions both in width and in length are greater than the dimensions of the masking label 6 and at least equal to the sum of the dimensions. of the window 3 and precut strips 30, 31. This fourth label 8 thus fully covers the upper face 9 of the masking label 6. The fourth label 8 protrudes on either side of the label 6, in order to cover not only the area of the window 3 but also the areas of the zones of structural weakness 30, 31. This protective element 8 is fixed permanently to the third label 6 and the precut strips 30, 31. The protection element 8 thus makes it possible to join together the masking element 6 and the document D.
Pour réaliser un document équipé d'un tel dispositif, on procède comme illustré à la figure 5. A partir d'un document D, imprimé ou non, on réalise une découpe correspondant sensiblement aux dimensions de la fenêtre 3. Cette opération s'effectue avantageusement en continu, le document D se présentant initialement sous la forme d'une bande de papier. Lors de cette découpe, on réalise également deux zones de faiblesse structurelle 30, 31 par poinçonnage du document au voisinage des deux bords longitudinaux de la fenêtre 3.To produce a document equipped with such a device, the procedure is as illustrated in FIG. 5. From a document D, printed or not, a cut corresponding substantially to the dimensions of the window 3 is produced. This operation is carried out advantageously continuously, the document D initially being in the form of a paper web. During this cutting, two zones of structural weakness 30, 31 are also produced. by punching the document in the vicinity of the two longitudinal edges of the window 3.
On forme ainsi deux bandes 30, 31 , parallèles et prédécoupées, au voisinage de ces bords longitudinaux. Dans une variante non illustrée, la largeur des bandes 30, 31 et/ou leur position et/ou leur nombre sont différents. Les zones 30, 31 peuvent également se présenter sous d'autres formes que des bandes prédécoupées par exemple sous forme de cercles prédécoupés disposés les uns à côté des autres. Ces zones 30, 31 peuvent, dans un autre mode de réalisation, se limiter à des lignes de prédécoupe. Les zones 30, 31 peuvent, en variante, être réalisées par des lignes ou des bandes de moindre épaisseur ménagées dans le matériau constitutif du document D.Thus two strips 30, 31, parallel and pre-cut, are formed in the vicinity of these longitudinal edges. In a variant not shown, the width of the strips 30, 31 and / or their position and / or their number are different. The zones 30, 31 may also be in other forms than pre-cut strips for example in the form of pre-cut circles arranged next to each other. These zones 30, 31 may, in another embodiment, be limited to precut lines. The zones 30, 31 may alternatively be made by lines or strips of lesser thickness formed in the material constituting the document D.
Puis, dans une deuxième étape, on positionne sur cette fenêtre 3, la première étiquette 1. Les dimensions de cette étiquette 1 sont suffisantes pour qu'elle recouvre totalement la fenêtre 3 et déborde, sur tous les côtés, sur la face Di du document D. Les bandes prédécoupées 30, 31 ne sont pas recouvertes par l'étiquette 1. L'étiquette 1 est fixée de manière pérenne au document D avec un adhésif 10, représenté schématiquement à la figure 4. Il s'agit d'un adhésif fort, permanent, résistant aux U.V. et transparent. Une face 5 de l'étiquette 1 est destinée à être imprimée avec l'information confidentielle C. Cette face 5 est positionnée de manière à être orientée vers la face Di du document D. En d'autres termes, une face 50 de collage de l'étiquette 1 est orientée vers le verso D2 du document, une face 5 de l'étiquette 1 , qui doit être imprimée, étant orientée vers le recto Di du document.Then, in a second step, the first label 1 is positioned on this window 3. The dimensions of this label 1 are sufficient so that it completely covers the window 3 and overflows, on all sides, on the face Di of the document D. The pre-cut strips 30, 31 are not covered by the label 1. The label 1 is permanently fixed to the document D with an adhesive 10, shown schematically in FIG. 4. It is an adhesive Strong, permanent, UV resistant and transparent. A face 5 of the label 1 is intended to be printed with the confidential information C. This face 5 is positioned so as to be oriented towards the face D of the document D. In other words, a face 50 of adhesive bonding the label 1 is oriented towards the back D 2 of the document, a face 5 of the label 1, which must be printed, being oriented towards the front Di of the document.
L'étape suivante s'effectue après retournement du document de manière à amener le verso D2 du document D en position visible.The following step is performed after turning the document so as to bring the back D 2 of the document D in the visible position.
La deuxième étiquette 4 est ensuite collée de manière définitive avec un adhésif 10' fort, par exemple de même type que l'adhésif 10, sur la face 5 de la première étiquette 1 à partir du verso du document D. Cette étiquette 4 recouvre également la fenêtre 3 en débordant sur le document D mais sans recouvrir les bandes prédécoupées 30, 31. Les adhésifs 10 et 10' se rejoignent dans la fenêtre 3 et solidarisent les étiquettes 1 et 4 à travers cette fenêtre. Dans tous les cas, l'adhésif 10' utilisé pour solidariser l'étiquette 4 au document D et à l'étiquette 1 doit permettre une lecture aisée et non déformée de l'information C. Le collage est adapté pour qu'il ne soit pas possible de séparer les deux étiquettes 1 , 4 fixées de part et d'autre de la fenêtre 3. Ainsi, l'étiquette 1 est fixée de façon pérenne au document D au niveau de la fenêtre 3. En variante, l'étiquette 1 peut comporter plusieurs régions prédécoupées, de manière à se fragmenter en petits morceaux non repositionnables lors d'une tentative d'enlèvement.The second label 4 is then permanently bonded with a strong adhesive 10 ', for example of the same type as the adhesive 10, on the face 5 of the first label 1 from the back of the document D. This label 4 also covers the window 3 overflowing on the document D but without covering the precut strips 30, 31. The adhesives 10 and 10 'meet in the window 3 and solidarize the labels 1 and 4 through this window. In all cases, the adhesive 10 'used to secure the label 4 to the document D and to the label 1 must allow an easy and undeformed reading of the information C. The bonding is adapted so that it is not it is not possible to separate the two labels 1, 4 fixed on either side of the window 3. Thus, the label 1 is permanently fixed to the document D at the level of the window 3. In a variant, the label 1 may have several pre-cut regions, so as to break into small pieces that can not be repositioned during a removal attempt.
L'étape suivante permet de mettre en place l'étiquette de masquage 6 de l'information. Cette étiquette a, avantageusement, la même forme et les mêmes dimensions que celles de l'étiquette 4. Dans tous les cas, elle doit au moins masquer l'information C. L'étiquette 6 est avantageusement formée d'un matériau en feuille transparent. Le masquage 7 proprement dit, ou caviardage, est avantageusement imprimé avant la mise en place de l'étiquette 6 sur l'étiquette 4. En variante, illustrée à la figure 5, l'impression du caviardage 7 est effectué après la mise en place de l'étiquette 6.The next step makes it possible to set up the masking label 6 of the information. This label has, advantageously, the same shape and the same dimensions as those of the label 4. In all cases, it must at least hide the information C. The label 6 is advantageously formed of a transparent sheet material . The masking 7 itself, or redaction, is advantageously printed before the introduction of the label 6 on the label 4. As a variant, illustrated in FIG. 5, the printing of the cavitation 7 is carried out after the installation. of the label 6.
L'étiquette de masquage 6 est positionnée de manière amovible. Pour cela, on utilise une colle 11 dite fugitive, représentée à la figure 4, que l'on dispose entre les étiquettes 4 et 6. Cette colle 11 présente la particularité de polymériser sous l'action de rayons ultraviolets. Cette colle 11 est une colle à faible adhérence de manière à permettre un enlèvement aisé de l'étiquette 6.The masking label 6 is releasably positioned. For this, use a glue 11 called fugitive, shown in Figure 4, which is available between the labels 4 and 6. This glue 11 has the characteristic of polymerizing under the action of ultraviolet rays. This adhesive 11 is a low adhesion adhesive so as to allow easy removal of the label 6.
Lorsque la colle 11 est polymérisée, les étiquettes 4, 6 préalablement jointes sont solidarisées tout en restant aisément séparables. Après séparation, les faces encollées des étiquettes 4 et 6 sèchent rapidement et deviennent alors non adhésives. En d'autres termes, cette colle 11 permet de coller et décoller une seule fois deux objets entre eux, sans possibilité de recoller les objets.When the glue 11 is polymerized, the labels 4, 6 previously attached are secured while remaining easily separable. After separation, the glued faces of the labels 4 and 6 dry quickly and then become non-adhesive. In other words, this glue 11 makes it possible to glue and take off once two objects between them, without the possibility of gluing the objects.
Une telle colle 11 permet de retirer aisément l'étiquette 6, par traction sur la partie 60, pour accéder à l'information C par lecture directe à travers l'étiquette 4 et la fenêtre 3. Une remise en place de l'étiquette 6 sur l'étiquette 4 après une première lecture n'est plus possible, l'adhésif 11 n'étant plus efficace. Sur la face supérieure 9 de cette étiquette 6 de masquage on positionne, dans une étape suivante, un élément de protection en feuille constitué par une étiquette 8. Cette quatrième étiquette 8 a des dimensions telles qu'elle recouvre totalement, au moins, l'étiquette 6 et les bandes 30, 31 prédécoupées. Cette étiquette 8 est collée sur l'étiquette et sur les bandes 30, 31 de façon pérenne avec un adhésif fort 12, par exemple du même type que les adhésifs 10 et 10', de manière à induire un arrachage des bandes 30, 31 prédécoupées simultanément à l'enlèvement de l'étiquette 6. En d'autres termes, l'étiquette 6 est solidaire des bandes 30 et 31 à travers l'étiquette 8 qui, lorsqu'on retire l'étiquette, arrache les bandes 30 et 31 du document D. L'étiquette 8 est réalisée dans un matériau résistant à la déchirure, par exemple en polypropylène. Elle peut, en variante, être non transparente et/ou munie d'un marquage informatif ou publicitaire. Avant une étape, connue en soi, de découpage et d'emballage des documents D ainsi équipés du dispositif de sécurisation, il est possible, si nécessaire, d'effectuer un pressage des documents. Ce pressage permet d'améliorer la cohésion entre les différentes étiquettes 1 , 4, 6 et 8 en chassant les bulles d'air et en pressant les adhésifs 10, 10', 11 et 12 entre les étiquettes Lors de ce pressage, les adhésifs 10, 10', dans l'exemple de même type, se mélangent et occupent tout le volume disponible entre les étiquettes 1 et 4.Such glue 11 makes it easy to remove the label 6, by pulling on the part 60, to access the information C by reading directly through the label 4 and the window 3. A replacement of the label 6 on the label 4 after a first reading is no longer possible, the adhesive 11 is no longer effective. On the upper face 9 of this masking label 6 is positioned, in a next step, a protective sheet member consisting of a label 8. This fourth label 8 has dimensions such that it completely covers, at least, the label 6 and strips 30, 31 precut. This label 8 is stuck on the label and on the strips 30, 31 in a long-lasting manner with a strong adhesive 12, for example of the same type as the adhesives 10 and 10 ', so as to induce tearing of the strips 30, 31 precut simultaneously with the removal of the label 6. In other words, the label 6 is secured to the strips 30 and 31 through the label 8 which, when the label is removed, tear strips 30 and 31 of document D. The label 8 is made of a tear-resistant material, for example polypropylene. It may, alternatively, be non-transparent and / or provided with an informative or advertising marking. Before a step, known per se, cutting and packaging D documents and equipped with the security device, it is possible, if necessary, to perform a pressing of documents. This pressing makes it possible to improve the cohesion between the different labels 1, 4, 6 and 8 by expelling the air bubbles and by pressing the adhesives 10, 10 ', 11 and 12 between the labels During this pressing, the adhesives 10 , 10 ', in the example of the same type, mix and occupy all the available volume between the labels 1 and 4.
Les documents ainsi réalisés sont munis du dispositif de sécurisation de l'information prêt à recevoir l'information C. Celle-ci est imprimée avec une trame de fond et/ou des chiffres sur la face 5 de l'étiquette 1 par l'expéditeur du document. Cette impression peut se faire lors d'une impression personnalisée du document ou sur un document sur lequel apparaissent déjà d'autres informations. De cette manière, l'expéditeur du document imprime une information confidentielle C qui se trouve immédiatement dissimulée et sécurisée sans nécessiter un traitement ultérieur du document D porteur de cette information C. Cette impression de l'information C peut se faire également, non pas sur un document D individualisé, mais en continu comme illustré à la figure 5, à la suite de l'étape de mise en place de l'étiquette 8. Pour cela, le document D est retourné une seconde fois pour être imprimé. Dans ce cas, l'opération de découpage et d'emballage des documents se fait après cette étape d'impression de l'information. Dans tous les cas, dès l'impression de l'information C sur la face 5 de l'étiquette, cette information C est dissimulée par le caviardage 7. En variante, l'information C est imprimée sur la face 5 après la deuxième étape c'est-à-dire après la mise en place de l'étiquette 1 sur la fenêtre 3.L'information C reste alors lisible jusqu'à la mise en place de l'étiquette 6 de masquage. Dans tous les cas, l'impression est effectuée à l'envers pour être lisible à l'endroit à partir du verso du document.The documents thus produced are provided with the information security device ready to receive the information C. This is printed with a background and / or numbers on the face 5 of the label 1 by the sender. of the document. This printing can be done during a personalized printing of the document or on a document on which other information already appears. In this way, the sender of the document prints confidential information C which is immediately hidden and secured without requiring further processing of the document D carrying this information C. This impression of the information C can also be done, not on an individual D document, but continuously as shown in Figure 5, following the step of setting up the label 8. For this, the document D is returned a second time to be printed. In this case, the operation of cutting and packaging documents is done after this step of printing the information. In any case, as soon as the information C is printed on the face 5 of the label, this information C is concealed by the redaction 7. Alternatively, the information C is printed on the face 5 after the second step that is to say after the introduction of the label 1 on the window 3.The information C remains legible until the introduction of the label 6 masking. In any case, the printing is done in reverse to be readable from the back of the document.
Dans le deuxième mode de réalisation illustré à la figure 6, les éléments analogues à ceux du premier mode de réalisation portent les mêmes références. Seul ce qui différencie ce mode de réalisation du précédent est décrit ci-après. L'élément de masquage 6 a des dimensions supérieures à celles de la fenêtre 3. En l'espèce, ces dimensions sont au moins égales à la somme des dimensions de la fenêtre 3 et des bandes prédécoupées 30 et 31. En d'autres termes, dans ce mode de réalisation, les dimensions de l 'élément de masquage 6 sont sensiblement celles décrites précédemment pour l'élément de protection formé par l'étiquette 8.In the second embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6, elements similar to those of the first embodiment bear the same references. Only what differentiates this embodiment from the above is described below. The masking element 6 has dimensions greater than those of the window 3. In this case, these dimensions are at least equal to the sum of the dimensions of the window 3 and the pre-cut strips 30 and 31. In other words , in this embodiment, the dimensions of the masking element 6 are substantially those previously described for the protective element formed by the label 8.
La face de cet élément de masquage en regard avec la fenêtre 3 est enduite d'une colle forte au niveau des zones recouvrant les bandes 30 etThe face of this masking element facing the window 3 is coated with a strong adhesive at the areas covering the strips 30 and
31. Ainsi, l'élément de masquage est équipé, sur la même face, d'une colle fugitive 11 au niveau de la zone recouvrant une information C et d'une colle forte 10 ou 10' au niveau des bandes prédécoupées 30 et 31. L'élément de masquage est donc fixé aux bandes prédécoupées de façon pérenne. La face externe des zones de l'élément de masquage recouvrant les bandes 30 et 31 peut être pourvue d'une impression, de masquage ou autre. De cette manière, cet élément de masquage lors de son enlèvement permet, outre la mise en évidence de l'information C, l'arrachage des bandes prédécoupées 30 et 31. En d'autres termes, l'élément de protection 8 du mode de réalisation précédent n'est plus nécessaire, l'élément de masquage 6 étant suffisamment résistant et ayant des dimensions adaptées ainsi qu'une répartition adéquate d'adhésifs de nature différente pour ne pas nécessiter l'emploi de cet élément.31. Thus, the masking element is equipped, on the same face, with a fugitive glue 11 at the area covering information C and with a strong glue 10 or 10 'at the level of precut strips 30 and 31. The masking element is thus fixed to the pre-cut strips in a perennial manner. The outer face of the areas of the masking element covering the strips 30 and 31 may be provided with printing, masking or the like. In this way, this masking element during its removal makes it possible, in addition to highlighting the information C, to tear off the pre-cut strips 30 and 31. In other words, the protection element 8 of the previous embodiment is no longer necessary, the masking element 6 being sufficiently strong and having suitable dimensions as well as a Adequate distribution of adhesives of different nature not to require the use of this element.
Avec une telle solution la dernière étape du procédé de mise en œuvre du dispositif et consistant à fixer l'élément de protection 8 sur l'élément de masquage 6 est facultative.With such a solution the last step of the method of implementation of the device and of fixing the protective element 8 on the masking element 6 is optional.
Dans les deux modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus, grâce à la liaison entre l'étiquette 6 et les bandes 30 et 31 , même si on veut, en remettant de la colle 10, 10', 11 ou 12 sur la face inférieure de l'étiquette 6, repositionner celle-ci sur l'étiquette 4, l'enlèvement de matière dans le document D au niveau des bandes 30 et 31 autour de la fenêtre 3 permet immédiatement de s'apercevoir que la lecture de l'information C a déjà eu lieu. En effet, la fenêtre 3 est alors bordée par deux orifices dont la forme correspond globalement à celle des bandes 30, 31 qui ont été arrachées. Ces dernières ne peuvent être remises en place sur le document D sans qu'on s'aperçoive de ce repositionnement. In the two embodiments described above, thanks to the connection between the label 6 and the strips 30 and 31, even if we want, by putting glue 10, 10 ', 11 or 12 on the underside of the label 6, reposition it on the label 4, the removal of material in the document D at the strips 30 and 31 around the window 3 immediately reveals that the reading of the information C has already taken place. Indeed, the window 3 is then bordered by two orifices whose shape corresponds globally to that of the strips 30, 31 which have been torn off. The latter can not be put back on the document D without being aware of this repositioning.
