IQ Structures Wins Tender to Protect Czech ID

IQ Structures, part of the IQS Group, a research and manufacturing organisation focused on controlled nanostructures, has announced that it has been selected as the supplier of anti-counterfeiting protection for the ID card of the Czech Republic.

The winning solution is based on IQ proID micro-segmentation technology. To the user, it appears as a set of very sophisticated holograms, but in truth they are carefully calculated nanostructures. It offers, among other things, the following advantages:

Integration in the card. Thanks to the micro-segmentation, it is virtually impossible to remove or tamper with the holographic layer. Any attempt to manipulate the holographic layer ends up disintegrating the hologram into thousands of miniature parts.

Full area protection. The data are protected by an unforgeable and non- removable hologram covering the entire document, right up to the edge.
