Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a security and / or value product, in particular a security and / or value document, comprising the following method steps: a substrate is coated with a marking layer containing a luminescent substance, becomes a pattern formed by the luminescence emission of the luminescent substance a string is formed, and the string is readably applied to the security and / or value product as an identifier string and / or readably integrated therein.
  • the invention further relates to a method for verifying such a security and / or value product.
  • a pattern of particles for example metal particles, is formed, which are randomly distributed in the marking layer.
  • a random pattern which is unique with very high statistical probability for the security and / or value product concerned, ie different security and / or value products differ by the respective random patterns.
  • the random pattern of a security and / or value product is recorded in a spatially resolved and intensity-resolved manner, a characteristic string is generated from the recording and the string is affixed to the security and / or value product as an identification string.
  • a marking layer with an electroluminescent substance is an electrically conductive pigment whereby a non-contact excitation of the electroluminescence can be effected in sufficient intensity for a detection of the luminescence.
  • EP 1 631 461 B1 It is known to add a pigment having a particularly high relative permittivity to a marking layer with an electroluminescent substance, whereby high field strengths in the electroluminescent substance and thus high luminescence emission under moderate excitation conditions are achieved by way of field displacement.
  • the invention is based on the technical problem of specifying a security and / or value product with a luminescence pattern as well as a correlated identity string attached to it, for example, on the security and / or value product, which is easier to produce and reliable in the verification "false-negative”. Avoids results.
  • the invention teaches methods for producing a security and / or value product, according to claim 1 and 2 and method for verification according to claims 13 and 14.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that defined and predefined patterns can be generated by targeted modification of the luminescence in partial regions of the marking layer, whereby the necessity of determining a previously generated pattern for the purpose of determining the correlated character sequence is eliminated. Furthermore, it is achieved that the amplification or reduction of the luminescence emission in the partial regions can be effected significantly in the sense that the change is sufficiently large in order to prevent the luminescent emission or its surface from becoming contaminated or attrition on the surface of the security and / or product of value Intensity in the unaltered areas to be discriminated. Ultimately, a permanent and reliable avoidance of "false negative" results during verification is achieved.
  • security and / or value product includes in particular security and / or value documents.

In the case of layers of plastics, these may be formed as films.
  • a cover layer preferably of a transparent plastic, can be applied to the marking layer. It is also possible to apply several different transparent cover layers.
  • the marking layer can be applied over the entire surface of the substrate, or only on a partial surface of the substrate.
  • a cover layer which may have been set up needs to be transparent only above the partial surface of the substrate carrying the marking layer, but may nevertheless also cover the entire surface of the substrate and also be transparent over its entire surface.
  • the application of the marking layer can take place in all customary ways. These include printing techniques. Suitable printing methods in principle are all printing processes known and customary in the manufacture of security and / or value products, such as offset printing, letterpress printing, offset coating, flexographic printing, screen printing, thermal sublimation printing, gravure printing, in particular gravure gravure printing and intaglio printing, the so-called overprint varnish process , as well as all non-contact printing processes. Preferably, however, the marking layer is applied by screen printing. But also, for example, doctoring, brushing, stamping, casting, painting, dipping, flow method, roll or screen application method or application by air brush can be used.
  • All of the above methods are based on a solution, dispersion, emulsion or paste containing the luminescent substance and at least one binder, which is applied by the methods mentioned and optionally then dried and / or cured.

  • the change in the partial areas of the marking layer applied in step b) is imperceptible to the human eye when illuminated with visible light and in daylight intensity, but can only be ascertained with the aid of technical aids such as magnifying glass, detectors, etc. ,
  • An amplification of the luminescence emission denotes - under constant excitation conditions - an increase in the intensity of the luminescence from a reference sub-area of the sub-area by at least 5%, more preferably at least 10%, preferably at least 20%, based on the intensity of the luminescence from a comparison sub-area, which is outside the sub-areas lies.
  • a weakening of the luminescence emission denotes - under constant excitation conditions - a decrease in the intensity of the luminescence from a reference partial area of the partial area by at least 5%, better at least 10%, preferably at least 20%, based on the intensity of the luminescence from a comparison partial area, which is outside the partial areas lies.
  • a pattern denotes a defined distribution of partial areas within the marker layer and in Directions parallel to a major surface of the marking layer.
  • the marking layer need not be formed as a single layer, but may in turn be formed of marking sub-layers which are connected to one another in a stacked manner, wherein other (transparent) layers can also be interposed between marking sub-layers.
  • the pattern may be formed not only by a lateral distribution (in directions parallel to a major surface of the marker layer) of the partial regions (as in a single layer) but also by a vertical distribution (orthogonal to the main surface). In general, however, only the lateral distribution will be determined, but with an additional vertical distribution but also taking into account the vertical distribution by spatially resolved measurement of the luminescence with a different from the surface normal and predetermined angle of incidence takes place.
  • the partial regions typically have an areal extent in directions parallel to a main surface of the marking layer of 0.1 ⁇ m 2 to 1 mm 2 , in particular of 1 ⁇ m 2 to 0.01 mm 2 , or else 1 ⁇ m 2 to 500 ⁇ m 2 .

Then, an inherent verification is possible without external database, since then only the predetermined algorithm must be applied to the measured pattern in the course of verification, in which case a direct comparison of the thus determined string with the read identifier string is possible.
  • a suitable algorithm may be the calculation of a hash value from the pattern, including its coordinates with respect to at least one reference point of the security and / or value product (viewed in projection orthogonal to a major surface of the marker layer). It is basically sufficient if the assignment is unique, so that even with hash functions, depending on the complexity, so-called collisions can be tolerated to some extent. Because in the verification yes the pattern is read, determined by means of the predetermined hash function, the string and compared with the identity string. It does not matter that in the event of a collision, another security and / or value may exist with a different pattern, which results in the same string when the hash function is used (collision).

This includes labeling, for example by laser, printing, for example inkjet printing, u.v.m. Since the pattern is predetermined and defined for each security and / or value product, the correlated character string is also predetermined and defined for each security and / or value product.
  • the identity string is then arranged below the marking layer, within the marking layer, or above the marking layer.
  • An identification string is readable if it is readable by the human eye and / or with technical aids.

For example, in the case of an electroluminescent Kerns of the mantle function as a UV filter, which reliably prevents luminescence under UV irradiation. However, it is also possible to achieve such a UV filter function by means of a filter layer applied to the jacket.
  • the marking layer may also contain a plurality of different luminescent substances. It is then expedient for the different luminescent substances to be excited differently (for example UV / electric alternating fields) and / or for different emission wavelengths.
