PAssPORT INNOVATIONsHIGHER sEcuRITY. GREATER EffIcIENcY. LOwER RIsk.

The evolution of ICAO standardization and introduction of ePassports in

2004 initiated incredible change for government agencies.

The layers of digital security have become quite complex. Technologies

that help prevent skimming, counterfeiting and other fraudulent activity

are critical. And the evolution of ICAO guidelines from BAC to EAC to SAC

require deep knowledge.

Digital security concerns are only half the challenge. Increasingly complex

counterfeiting and fraud threats require application of powerful document

issuance technologies. Blank booklets and other program assets require

airtight security. And the handling of biographic and biometric data must

be managed securely to ensure privacy for citizens.

This challenging environment requires a strong partner with proven

expertise in the best practices for passport issuance — and extensive

experience in deploying secure identity programs for government

customers on a global basis.

Datacard Group is a preferred partner for government agencies and

system integrators worldwide. Our passport portfolio includes everything

you need for a secure and cost-effective program. Offerings include

central and distributed issuance systems, end-to-end software solutions,

intelligent supplies and program experts who can help with document

design, maximize efficiency and deliver industry insights.

quALITY, sEcuRITY, DuRABILITY AND cOsT

We developed an important methodology for our government customers called

Quality, Security, Durability and Cost (Datacard® QSDC Framework™). This

innovative security design methodology weighs the relative value of security

elements and helps drive decisions about passport design.

• quality helps ensure documents are consistent in appearance and closely

match other issued documents.

• security based on layered overt, covert and forensic technologies helps

prevent forgery or alteration.

• Durability refers to resistance to abrasions, chemicals, moisture and light.

• cost should be controlled, but “false savings” often lead to significant

unplanned costs.

sEcuRITY AT THE TIME Of PERsONALIzATION™

Another innovative Datacard methodology is Datacard® Security at Time Of

Personalization™. ICAO cautions that if blank documents and raw materials are

lost or stolen, they can be used to create persuasive counterfeit documents.

Datacard Group helps our customers combat this issue by adding secure

elements at the time of personalization, rather than during the booklet

pre-printing process. The Security at Time Of Personalization™ methodology

makes blank booklets less valuable to counterfeiters — and makes

personalization images and data more difficult to replicate.

PROGRAM EffIcIENcY AND INVEsTMENT PROTEcTION

The best practices and technologies we apply to passport programs ensure

strong security — and low total cost of ownership. Our solutions bring efficiency

to both the identity management and document issuance processes. This

results in less labor, less scrap and increased service levels. Our secure overlays

also help extend passport life, which leads to lower lifetime issuance costs.
