High Security Document Protection
Forgery and other forms of illegal identity have been with us all through time. The significant differences between now and the past are the improved technology, the variety of affected products, and - unfortunately - many more opportunities.

In an era of increasing insecurity, the use of fraudulent identification poses an ever-growing threat to individuals and governments worldwide. Aided by advances in technology counterfeiters create forged passports, driver's licenses and state and corporate ID cards which are often indistinguishable from their legitimate counterparts. The threat to law enforcement, business and national security posed by the use of sophisticated fake IDs can only be challenged by employing anti-counterfeiting measures that are even more sophisticated.

Our extensive background as an innovator in optical and material sciences has generated technologies which are both cost effective and proven in the field. Each can be specifically tailored to a customer's needs and each can be combined with investigative and consulting services to provide security throughout the life cycle of a high security document. OpSec's products when combined with skills of security printers:

Combat forgery & counterfeiting
Protect against alteration of data
Allow for immediate authentication

OpSec offers a range of overt and covert security technologies which can be integrated into security laminates. We have developed security solutions for ID document issuers and governments that assure the integrity of passports, visas, driver's licenses and ID cards. Among a selection of ID authentication technologies, the Advantage product is a patented, optically variable, color-shifting technology offered in the form of labels and laminates (cold/hot laminated). Other products include laminates with OVD, security print and passport issuance systems. We work with all major integrators and equipment suppliers to provide "turnkey" solutions to ID document issuers. OpSec laminates can be delivered in a wide variety of formats, including numerous base materials and differential adhesives suitable for most application methods
