Abstract

L'invention concerne une carte d'identification qui résiste à la flexion et aux températures élevées et peut empêcher la copie non autorisée d'informations d'identité enregistrées sur celle-ci, la fuite d'informations personnelles et la suppression d'informations d'identité. L'invention concerne également un système commercial à carte d'identification destiné à empêcher une utilisation non autorisée d'informations d'identité. La carte d'identification (1) selon l'invention comprend un corps principal (10) constitué intégralement d'un alliage à haute résistance et au moins une partie d'enregistrement d'informations d'identité (20) comprenant des informations d'identité spécifiques inscrites sur le corps principal de la carte. Des cellules (30) multiples sont inscrites à des emplacements prédéterminés de la partie d'enregistrement d'informations d'identité du corps principal de la carte et des informations d'identité spécifiques de la partie d'enregistrement d'informations d'identité sont spécifiées par la profondeur, la largeur et/ou la forme d'inscription des cellules. Cette carte d'identification peut être utilisée dans le système commercial à carte d'identification pour effectuer une transaction telle qu'une transaction dans un guichet automatique bancaire (GAB) ou une transaction liée à la sécurité sociale.
