- FIG. 3 is a top view of the substrate sheet material 10 A, the hologram laminated sheet material 20 A, and the print sheet material 30 A according to the first embodiment.
- FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a substrate sheet material 10 A and a hologram laminated sheet material 320 A of the card 301 according to the third embodiment.
- FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B are a top view and a cross-sectional view of a card 401 according to a fourth embodiment, respectively.
- FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B are a top view and a cross-sectional view of a card 1 of a first embodiment, respectively.
- FIG. 1A is a top view of the card 1 (a view illustrating a front 1 a of the card when viewed in the normal direction),
- FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view of the card 1 .
- the card 1 is used as, for example, a cash card of a bank.
- the card 1 includes a card substrate 10 , a lower print layer 12 , a transparent sheet layer 20 , an HS (heat seal) layer 21 (lower adhesive layer), a hologram layer 22 (light diffraction layer), a PC layer 23 (upper adhesive layer), a print sheet layer 30 , a magnetic stripe 30 a , and an upper print layer 31 .
- the transparent sheet layer 20 , the HS layer 21 , the hologram layer 22 , the PC layer 23 , the print sheet layer 30 , and the upper print layer 31 are laminated in this order from a lower side Z 1 to an upper side Z 2 (one side) of the card substrate 10 .
- the card substrate 10 is a base member of the card 1 .
- the card substrate 10 is formed of a resin sheet material such as PET, PET-G, PVC, or PC.
- An outer shape of the card substrate 10 is equal to an outer shape of the card 1 .
- a color of an upper surface of the card substrate 10 is black.
- a black may be a color of the card substrate 10 itself or may be a color which is printed on a substrate, the color of which is other than black.
- the lower print layer 12 is provided on a lower surface of the card substrate 10 .
- the transparent sheet layer 20 is a transparent layer on which the hologram layer 22 is provided.
- the card substrate 10 is formed of a resin sheet material such as PET, PET-G, PVC, or PC.
- An outer shape of the transparent sheet layer 20 is equal to the outer shape of the card substrate 10 .
- An outer shape of the hologram layer 22 is smaller than the outer shape of the card substrate 10 , that is, smaller than an outer shape of the transparent sheet layer 20 . That is, the hologram layer 22 is laminated only on a partial region of the card substrate 10 . The reason for the partial region is to make the expensive hologram layer 22 smaller, resulting in reduced cost.
- the PC layer 23 which is provided on the hologram layer 22 , is a layer which bonds the hologram layer 22 and the print sheet layer 30 together.
- An outer shape of the PC layer 23 is equal to the outer shape of the hologram layer 22 .
- the PC layer 23 is a thermoplastic resin sheet of PC (polycarbonate) in the embodiments.
- the type of resin is not limited to PC and may include PET, for example.
- a temperature of the appearance of adhesiveness of the PC layer 23 is higher than that of the HS layer 21 .
- the print sheet layer 30 is formed of a resin sheet material such as PET, PET-G, or PVC.
- An upper surface of the print sheet layer 30 may have a mirror-like finish or a matte finish.
- An outer shape of the print sheet layer 30 is similar to the outer shape of the card substrate 10 .
- the magnetic stripe 30 a is provided on the upper surface of the print sheet layer 30 .
- Information relating to a bank account number or the like is recorded in the magnetic stripe 30 a . This information can be read using a reader (not illustrated).
- the magnetic stripe 30 a is disposed outside a transition portion 31 c (to be described below) of the upper print layer 31 .
- the upper print layer 31 is printed with characters 31 a indicating the name of a bank, graphics 31 b , or other necessary information (not illustrated).
- the transition portion 31 c is a portion of gradation printing in which the color density drops progressively towards inside the gradation printing.
- An outer edge portion 31 d of the transition portion 31 c is positioned more inside than an edge portion 22 b of the hologram layer 22 .
- the upper print layer 31 may alternatively be provided on a lower surface of the print sheet layer 30 if necessary.
- the region 311 positioned more outside than the transition portion 31 c of the upper print layer 31 has the color density equal or substantially equal to a color density of the card substrate 10 .
- the edge portion 22 b of the hologram layer 22 is shielded and hidden by the upper print layer 31 (see an arrow A).
- the card substrate 10 and the upper print layer 31 have a black color or its family, which absorbs light, the edge portion 22 b of the hologram layer 22 is hardly recognizable visually.
- the upper print layer 31 and the card substrate 10 have a black color of a similar color family. In this manner, the upper print layer 31 and the card substrate 10 are visually recognized as a single seamless part.
- the hologram image 22 a can be confirmed inside the window portion 31 g . Since the hologram is a transparent hologram, the color of the card substrate 1 a is visually recognized at regions (an external region 22 c outside the building, an internal portion 22 e inside the building other than a line 22 d , and the like) other than the hologram image 22 a of the hologram layer 22 . In addition, as described above, the upper print layer 31 and the and substrate 10 are visually recognized seamlessly as a single part.
- the circumference of the hologram image 22 a is seen to have a wider range of black background surface than the hologram layer 22 .

-
FIG. 1A andFIG. 1B are a top view and a cross-sectional view of acard 1 of a first embodiment, respectively. -
FIG. 1A is a top view of the card 1 (a view illustrating afront 1 a of the card when viewed in the normal direction), -
FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view of thecard 1. - In the embodiments, a horizontal direction X, a longitudinal direction Y, and a vertical direction Z (thickness direction) of the
card 1 are described for convenience with reference to the state illustrated inFIGS. 1A and 1B , but each direction of thecard 1 can be appropriately determined depending on the arrangement. For example, when the front and the rear of thecard 1 are arranged inversely to the state ofFIG. 1B , in the vertical direction Z of thecard 1, a lower side 11 (lower surface side) ofFIG. 1B becomes an upper side and an upper side 32 (upper surface side) ofFIG. 1B becomes a lower side. In addition, a configuration of the card in the vertical direction Z in the drawings is illustrated in an exaggerated way to clarify the configuration. - The
card 1 is used as, for example, a cash card of a bank. - The
card 1 includes acard substrate 10, alower print layer 12, a transparent sheet layer 20, an HS (heat seal) layer 21 (lower adhesive layer), a hologram layer 22 (light diffraction layer), a PC layer 23 (upper adhesive layer), a print sheet layer 30, amagnetic stripe 30 a, and anupper print layer 31. The transparent sheet layer 20, theHS layer 21, thehologram layer 22, thePC layer 23, the print sheet layer 30, and theupper print layer 31 are laminated in this order from a lower side Z1 to an upper side Z2 (one side) of thecard substrate 10. - The
card substrate 10 is a base member of thecard 1. Thecard substrate 10 is formed of a resin sheet material such as PET, PET-G, PVC, or PC. An outer shape of thecard substrate 10 is equal to an outer shape of thecard 1. - A color of an upper surface of the
card substrate 10 is black. A black may be a color of thecard substrate 10 itself or may be a color which is printed on a substrate, the color of which is other than black. - The
lower print layer 12 is provided on a lower surface of thecard substrate 10. - For example, precautions for using the card are printed on the lower print,
layer 12. - The transparent sheet layer 20 is a transparent layer on which the
hologram layer 22 is provided. Thecard substrate 10 is formed of a resin sheet material such as PET, PET-G, PVC, or PC. An outer shape of the transparent sheet layer 20 is equal to the outer shape of thecard substrate 10. - The
HS layer 21 is an adhesive layer that bonds the transparent sheet layer 20 and thehologram layer 22 together. - The
HS layer 21 is formed of a thermoplastic adhesive (polyester resin or the like). Since the transparent sheet layer 20 and thehologram layer 22 are bonded each other, thehologram layer 22 will beak if an attempt to peel it off is made. In this manner, even if thehologram layer 22 is illegally peeled off, the peeling will be easily found out, so it is possible to increase the security of thecard 1. - The
hologram layer 22 is a light diffraction layer for preventing forgery of thecard 1. Thehologram layer 22 is a layer having a Lippmann type hologram. Thehologram layer 22 has translucency. Ahologram image 22 a of a building is recorded in thehologram layer 22. - The Lippmann-
type hologram layer 22 is configured by applying a special polymer layer on a film not illustrated), such as a PET substrate, to form an interference pattern due to changes in refractive index inside the polymer layer. Thehologram layer 22 reproduces a hologram image via a diffraction phenomenon when light is incident on the interference pattern. Thehologram layer 22 excels in the presentation of a stereoscopic effect in up and down and left and right directions, and the sense of depth. Accordingly, thehologram layer 22 brings the stereoscopic effect closer to a real object. Since the materials used and production process are unique, forgery of thehologram layer 22 is extremely difficult. Accordingly, thehologram layer 22 is more tolerant of being tampered than an emboss-type hologram, for example. - An outer shape of the
hologram layer 22 is smaller than the outer shape of thecard substrate 10, that is, smaller than an outer shape of the transparent sheet layer 20. That is, thehologram layer 22 is laminated only on a partial region of thecard substrate 10. The reason for the partial region is to make theexpensive hologram layer 22 smaller, resulting in reduced cost. - The
PC layer 23, which is provided on thehologram layer 22, is a layer which bonds thehologram layer 22 and the print sheet layer 30 together. An outer shape of thePC layer 23 is equal to the outer shape of thehologram layer 22. ThePC layer 23 is a thermoplastic resin sheet of PC (polycarbonate) in the embodiments. However, the type of resin is not limited to PC and may include PET, for example. - A temperature of the appearance of adhesiveness of the
PC layer 23 is higher than that of theHS layer 21. - The print sheet layer 30 is formed of a resin sheet material such as PET, PET-G, or PVC. An upper surface of the print sheet layer 30 may have a mirror-like finish or a matte finish. An outer shape of the print sheet layer 30 is similar to the outer shape of the
card substrate 10. - The
magnetic stripe 30 a is provided on the upper surface of the print sheet layer 30. Information relating to a bank account number or the like is recorded in themagnetic stripe 30 a. This information can be read using a reader (not illustrated). - As illustrated in
FIG. 1A , themagnetic stripe 30 a is disposed outside atransition portion 31 c (to be described below) of theupper print layer 31. - The
upper print layer 31 is a layer printed in a black color as a background similar to that of thecard substrate 10. - In addition, the
upper print layer 31 is printed withcharacters 31 a indicating the name of a bank,graphics 31 b, or other necessary information (not illustrated). - The
upper print layer 31 has thetransition portion 31 c. - The
transition portion 31 c is a portion of gradation printing in which the color density drops progressively towards inside the gradation printing. Anouter edge portion 31 d of thetransition portion 31 c is positioned more inside than anedge portion 22 b of thehologram layer 22. - The color density of the transition portion 21 c becomes progressively lower, starting from 100% at the
outer edge portion 31 d to 0% at aninner edge portion 31 e. Aregion 31 f positioned more outside than thetransition portion 31 c of theupper print layer 31 has a color density equal or substantially equal to a color density of thecard substrate 10. - A portion positioned more inside than the
inner edge portion 31 e of thetransition portion 31 c serves as awindow portion 31 g. - The transparent print sheet layer 30 is completely exposed in the
window portion 31 g. In this manner, an entirety of thehologram image 22 a of thehologram layer 22 is visually recognizable through thewindow portion 31 g. - The
upper print layer 31 may alternatively be provided on a lower surface of the print sheet layer 30 if necessary. - Next, how the
card 1 is seen from theupper side 12 will be described. - As described above, the region 311 positioned more outside than the
transition portion 31 c of theupper print layer 31 has the color density equal or substantially equal to a color density of thecard substrate 10. In this manner, theedge portion 22 b of thehologram layer 22 is shielded and hidden by the upper print layer 31 (see an arrow A). Moreover, since thecard substrate 10 and theupper print layer 31 have a black color or its family, which absorbs light, theedge portion 22 b of thehologram layer 22 is hardly recognizable visually. - Only the color of the
upper print layer 31 is visually recognized at theouter edge portion 31 d of thetransition portion 31 c. Since thehologram layer 22 is transparent, thecard substrate 10 becomes visually recognizable as a horizontal, location moves inside from theouter edge portion 31 d. Then, only the color of thecard substrate 10 is visually recognizable at theinner edge portion 31 e of thetransition portion 31 c (see an arrow B). Moreover, theupper print layer 31 and thecard substrate 10 have a black color of a similar color family. In this manner, theupper print layer 31 and thecard substrate 10 are visually recognized as a single seamless part. - Since the
upper print layer 31 is not formed on the print sheet layer 30, thehologram image 22 a can be confirmed inside thewindow portion 31 g. Since the hologram is a transparent hologram, the color of thecard substrate 1 a is visually recognized at regions (anexternal region 22 c outside the building, aninternal portion 22 e inside the building other than aline 22 d, and the like) other than thehologram image 22 a of thehologram layer 22. In addition, as described above, theupper print layer 31 and the andsubstrate 10 are visually recognized seamlessly as a single part. - For this reason, the circumference of the
hologram image 22 a is seen to have a wider range of black background surface than thehologram layer 22. - In this manner, the
hologram image 22 a emerges from a black background, and so thehologram image 22 a is seen more three-dimensionally. - The visual, effect described above has been already confirmed by the production of test samples.
- Since the background of the
upper print layer 31 is printed in black, the internal part of the card is hidden outside thetransition portion 31 c. In addition, the graphic 31 b or the like printed on theupper print layer 31 is seen outside thetransition portion 31 c. Themagnetic stripe 30 a is also hidden. - In this connection, the
character 31 a, which is printed to traverse thewindow portion 31 g, is visually recognizable across thewindow portion 31 g, thetransition portion 31 c, and the outside of thetransition portion 31 c. In this case, thecharacter 31 a indicating a bank is seen overlapped with thehologram image 22 a inside thewindow portion 31 g. - A method for producing a
card 1 will be described below. -
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of asubstrate sheet material 10A, a hologram laminated sheet material 20A, and aprint sheet material 30A according to the first embodiment. -
FIG. 3 is a top view of thesubstrate sheet material 10A, the hologram laminated sheet material 20A, and theprint sheet material 30A according to the first embodiment. - The
substrate sheet material 10A, the hologram laminated sheet material 20A, and theprint sheet material 30A are sheet materials of multi-face layout having been produced in a previous step prior to a main step.FIG. 3 illustrates an example of multi-face layout which is arranged in two rows and five columns. - First, a method for producing each of the
substrate sheet material 10A, the hologram laminated sheet material 20A, and theprint sheet material 30A will be described. It should be noted that the order of the following steps may be appropriately replaced with each other. - The following processes are performed on the sheet material (card substrate 10) obtained by performing black printing on a black resin sheet or a resin sheet of a color other than black.
- For example, a transfer foil provided on the PET is transferred onto a lower side z1 of the sheet material.
- Thus, the
substrate sheet material 10A provided with the lower print,layer 12 is produced. - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , thehologram layer 22 is produced, thePC layer 23 is laminated onto theupper side 22 of thehologram layer 22, and theHS layer 21 is laminated onto thelower side 21 of thehologram layer 22. - The
hologram layer 22 laminated in the above step (1) is laminated onto theupper side 22 of the transparent sheet material (transparent sheet layer 20) by heat sealing (application of heat and pressure). A temperature of the heat sealing is set within a temperature range in which the adhesiveness of theHS layer 21 appears but the adhesiveness of thePC layer 23 does not appear. In this case, since thePC layer 23 is interposed between thehologram layer 22 and a pressurizing plate for the heat sealing, the pressurizing plate and thehologram layer 22 do not come in directly contact with each other and thus thehologram layer 22 can be protected. - In this manner, the hologram laminated sheet material 20A is produced in which the
HS layer 21, thehologram layer 22, andPC layer 23 are laminated onto theupper side 22 of the sheet material. - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , themagnetic stripe 30 a is laminated onto an upper surface of the transparent sheet material (print sheet layer 30). - For example, a transfer foil (upper print layer 31) provided on PET is transferred to an upper surface of the sheet material, provided with the
magnetic stripe 30 a laminated in the above step (1). - Thus, the
print sheet material 30A is produced in which themagnetic stripe 30 a, and theupper print layer 31 are laminated. - Next, in the main step, the
substrate sheet material 10A, the hologram laminated sheet material 20A, and theprint sheet material 30A are processed as follows. - The
substrate sheet material 10A and the hologram laminated sheet material 20A are laminated to each other using thermal welding while being heated and pressurized. These layers may alternatively be bonded each other using an adhesive or the like. - The
print sheet material 30A is then laminated through thermal welding while being heated and pressurized onto the upper side Z2 of the hologram laminated sheet material 20A laminated in the above step (1). These layers may alternatively be bonded each other using an adhesive or the like. In addition, thePC layer 23 is softened by a heat-sealing process, such that the hologram laminated sheet material 20A and theprint sheet material 30A are bonded each other. In this case, since thePC layer 23 is softened, it is possible to prevent the hologram from suffering from damage due to the application of a pressure. - Since the
PC layer 23 is a thermoplastic resin sheet, it is possible to use thePC layer 23 as not only an adhesive layer but also a protection for thehologram layer 22 against the damage due to the application of a pressure. - The
laminated sheet materials - With the above-described process, the
card 1 has been produced. - In the present embodiment, since the hologram laminated sheet material 20A has been produced in advance in a separate step, it is possible to produce easily the
card 1 embedded with the Lippmann hologram by laminating thesheet materials - All of steps of producing the card may be performed at a single factory. However, it may be alternatively possible that the previous steps of producing the
substrate sheet material 10A, the hologram laminated sheet material 20A, and theprint sheet material 30A are performed at a different factory, such that the previous steps and the main step are performed at different factories. - Here, an advanced technology is required for the production of the
hologram layer 22. For this reason, it is possible to perform sharing of the steps among factories. For example, the hologram laminated sheet material 20A having thehologram layer 22 is produced at a factory having the required technology; thesubstrate sheet material 10A and theprint sheet material 30A are produced at a different factory from the hologram laminated sheet material 20A; and the main step is also performed at a different factory from the hologram laminated sheet material 20A. - As a result of sharing of the steps, it is possible for a factory performing the main step to produce the
card 1 of an end product as long as the hologram laminated sheet material 20A is available, even if the factory performing the main step does not have the technology for producing a Lippmann hologram. That is, since the card-producing step has a separate step of producing the hologram laminated sheet material 20A, it is possible to easily produce a card with the Lippmann hologram. Accordingly, this will increase the number of factories at which it is possible to produce thecard 1 with the Lippmann hologram, and will contribute to the expansion of the market. - Even if the steps are shared as described above, it is possible to protect the
hologram layer 22 since the hologram laminated sheet material 20A has thePC layer 23. Accordingly, the storage and handling during transportation are easy. - As described above, the separate step of producing the hologram laminated sheet material 20A facilitates, the production of the
card 1 of the present embodiment, which has a Lippmann hologram for which a high technique is required. - The
upper print layer 31 and thecard substrate 10 of black have been described as an example, but are not limited thereto. For example, theupper print layer 31 and thecard substrate 1 may alternatively have any color of a similar color family. In addition, the color of thecard substrate 10 or theupper print layer 31 does not matter as long as theupper print layer 31 has an effect of hiding theedge portion 22 b of the hologram layer. - A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
- It should be noted that, in the description and drawings for the following embodiments, the same reference symbol or the same reference symbol at the end (last two digits) is assigned to a portion which performs a function similarly with the first embodiment described above, and duplicated descriptions are not presented on a case-by-case basis.
-
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view (corresponding toFIG. 2 ) of asubstrate sheet material 10A, a hologram laminated sheet material 220A, and aprint sheet material 30A according to the second embodiment. - The hologram laminated sheet material 220A is configured so that a
PET layer 223 and an HS layer 224 (upper adhesive layer) instead of the PC layer 23 (seeFIG. 1B ) are laminated from a lower side Z1 in this order. - In a step of laminating print sheet material of a main step of producing a card, the
HS layer 224 bonds the hologram laminated sheet material 20A and theprint sheet material 30A by a heat-sealing process. Accordingly, for the same reason as in the first embodiment, a temperature of the appearance of adhesiveness of theHS layer 224 is higher than a temperature of the appearance of adhesiveness of theHS layer 21. That is for creation a condition under which the adhesiveness of theHS layer 21 appears, but the adhesiveness of the HS layer 221 does not appear, when thehologram layer 22 is laminated onto the transparent sheet layer 20 by heat sealing. - In addition, the
PET layer 223 can prevent a hologram from suffering from the damage due to the application of a pressure. - In this manner, since the
PET layer 223 and theHS layer 224 function similarly to thePC layer 23 of the first embodiment, the card of the second embodiment has the same effect as that of the first embodiment. - A third embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 6 , the hologram laminatedsheet material 320A has a simple configuration, accordingly. - The
upper print layer 331 is provided using foil transfer or through a step of printing, such as silk printing. - The step of printing may be performed at a time of producing the hologram laminated
sheet material 320A of the previous step or may be performed in the main step. That is, the hologram laminatedsheet material 320A provided previously with theupper print layer 331 may be delivered to a factory in which the main step is performed, or theupper print layer 331 may be provided when each of thesheet materials 10A and 220A is laminated after the delivery at the factory. - As described above, the
card 301 of the present embodiment is configured in such a manner that theupper print layer 331 is directly provided on the hologram laminatedsheet material 320A. - Accordingly, it is possible to introduce a simple configuration, which results in low cost. In this connection, in may he alternatively possible that the
card 301 is configured so that the PC layer 23 (seeFIG. 1B ) is provided on thehologram layer 22, similarly with the first, embodiment. In this case, as in the first embodiment, it is possible to protect the hologram and suppress the damage of the hologram in the steps of heating and applying a pressure, for example, at the time of the production. - A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
-

print layer 411 is provided. -
FIG. 7A andFIG. 7B illustrate an example in which a name of a card owner is printed on theprint layer 411. It is not limited thereto, but it may be alternatively possible that a finer background, micro-printing or the like is provided thereon. Although the description is not presented, theprint layer 411 is provided through printing on asubstrate sheet material 10A at the time of producing thesubstrate sheet material 10A (seeFIG. 2 ). The card substrate 410 may have any color in place of black. - An
upper print layer 431 is not provided with atransition portion 31 c and is printed with only acharacter 431 a, a graphic 431 b and the like necessary for the transparent sheet material. That is, a transparent surface is exposed at background regions except for thecharacter 431 a and the graphic 431 b. Accordingly, the card substrate 410 is visually recognizable (see an arrow C), and anedge portion 22 b of ahologram layer 22 is also visually recognizable. - As described above, the
card 401 of the fourth embodiment, which is configured so that an upper surface of the card substrate 410 and theprint layer 411 on the card substrate 410 are visually recognizable, differs from the other embodiments described above. For example, when a photograph of card owners s face is provided on theprint layer 411, thecard 401 is suitable for a certificate or the like. - The configuration of the fourth embodiment is also applicable to the second and third embodiments.
- While the embodiments of the present invention have been described, the present invention, is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may be modified into various forms like the following modified example. The modified example will also be included in the technical scope of the present invention. Also, the effect of the embodiments is merely the preferred, effect obtained from the present invention, and the effect of the present invention is not limited to the effect described in the embodiments. Furthermore, the above-described embodiments and the following modified example may be used while being appropriately combined with each other, but a detailed description thereof will not be provided.
- (1) in the embodiments, the example has been illustrated in which the hologram layer is a Lippmann type hologram, but it is not limited thereto. For example, the hologram layer may alternatively be an emboss type hologram.
- (2) In the embodiments, the example has been illustrated in which the transition portion does not overlap with the image portion, of the hologram, but is not limited thereto. The transition portion may overlap with the image portion of the hologram and may be configured to have a less dense color as the transition portion reaches more inside the image portion. In this case, the image is seen in such a manner that the image is blurred at a periphery thereof and becomes sharper as reaching inside by the transition portion.
- (3) In the embodiments, the example has been illustrated in which the card has the hologram layer, but is not limited thereto. For example, the card, may be used in cash vouchers or the like.
- (4) In the embodiments, the example has been illustrated in which the card is produced with the multi-face layout using the sheet materials, but is not limited thereto. The card may alternatively be produced in the form of a single body. In this case, sheet materials constituting a single card may be laminated. In this case, the transparent sheet layer itself laminated with one hologram layer may be used as the hologram laminated sheet material laminated with one hologram layer.
- (5) In the embodiments, the example has been illustrated in which the printing is performed on the card substrate in the range not overlapping the hologram layer, but is not limited thereto. When the printing is performed on the-card substrate so as to overlap the hologram layer, the hologram image and the printing are observed overlapped, thereby improving the design. Furthermore, in this case, it is possible to increase security since forgery becomes difficult.
