BIG is more secure

Create highly secure portraits for ID cards - The portrait format allows a maximum size photograph for more accurate and more reliable authentication. Maximum security is added by a KINEGRAM PCI with Full Data Protection (FDP).

ICAO recommendations for secure ID cards are currently including a vertical layout for ID documents with large ID card photographs. Highly secure portraits are achieved by larger and higher quality facial images to counteract misuse committed by exchanging and falsifying ID cards. The new ICAO recommendation is based on a simple formula: large ID card photograph + high resolution = stronger protection and easier authenticity checks.

With an embedded full-surface KINEGRAM PCI, this new layout makes polycarbonate IDs the safest they have ever been.

Benefits

  • The KINEGRAM tells a story - easy to remember and easy to communicate
  • Fast and reliable identification of the card holder and his personal data – hard to counterfeit 


The new sample KINEGRAM “KOI” beautifully illustrates these capacities. A very large portrait catches the viewer's attention, with the card holder's personal data positioned along the sides of the card or below the portrait according to the new ICAO proposal. Both the portrait and the personalization are optimally protected with highly sophisticated KINEGRAM security effects. Enjoy the video.
