DOVIDs for Automated and Remote Verification

In today’s fast-paced digital world, document authentication is undergoing a significant transformation. Traditional manual verification scenarios, for example at border controls, are complemented by automated processes and self- service kiosks. Remote verification during customer onboarding is yet another growing trend. This shifting landscape requires an evolution of security features to meet the changing needs in document authentication.

With the indispensable demand for efficiency and accuracy, and rising volumes of travellers, automated document authentication processes are gaining lots of prominence. DOVIDs (Diffractive Optically Variable Image Devices), when appropriately designed, are especially well suited for seamlessly integrating with automated document reader systems, enabling reliable and rapid verification.

As an example, the KINEGRAM® – among other select technologies – can be designed for optical machine- based authentication, without any hardware modifications. The result is a much-improved reliability in detecting document fraud without any compromise in process efficiency and passenger throughput at borders.
