Highly Secure ID Card Technology Brought by iDcentrix

iDcentrix unveils the market's only banknote paper polycarbonate based credential that can't be counterfeited, its unique ID card technology to the Latin American region today.

President and CEO Francine Dubois, iDcentrix, said: "As the largest Latin American card exhibition & conference, Cards 2008 is the best venue to showcase this innovative ID card product". "Many countries in the region are looking for more secure technology for their critical ID credentials, and we believe there may be significant opportunities in 2008 for the iDcentrix approach to ID security. We offer the only card that can be immediately authenticated by viewing an embedded watermark - a simple visual check that many have come to rely on with the currency they use every day."

Unlike traditional card bodies where personalization is done on the surface of the finished card, before the card is actually assembled, personalization takes place on the security paper of the patented ID card. All personal data and most security features are therefore in the card, not on it, making it tamper-resistant.

Dubois says: "Recent testing performed by several governmental agencies has validated the security of our card". "Our card is very attractive both in features and price to those issuers who are considering migrating to a more secure technology."

Based in El Segundo, CA, iDcentrix Inc., has licensed a patented technology providing highly secure identification cards based on Swiss banknote paper and polycarbonate. The iDcentrix card, unlike other ID cards on the market, cannot be duplicated or counterfeited thereby guaranteeing the integrity of the card data and the identity of the cardholder. By partnering with local card manufacturers, the company sells the ID card production equipment and consumables to corporate and governmental card issuers and also issues cards.
