DOCUMENT SECURITY ISSUES
ID DOCUMENTS – A BUILDING BLOCK APPROACH FOR SECURE IDS
This paper is intended as a reference for government officials considering technologies available
for issuing secure IDs. There are three major components of this decision:
• Card body or card substrate material
• Print or personalization technologies
• Laminate or topcoat material
All three elements must be compatible for a successful ID document program. Each component
impacts the cost, durability and security of the ID, and there are many trade-offs involved in a
decision on the appropriate combination. There is no “best” method, so the technology choices
should be carefully evaluated against program requirements, and rigorously tested using the
components selected.

DOCUMENT SECURITY ISSUES
DESIGNING AN ID DOCUMENT FOR ENHANCED SECURITY
Governments today are being driven to increase resources allocated for the design and production of secure ID documents. Advances in reproduction and printing technology have moved ID fraud into the realm of tech-savvy fraudsters, expanding the threats to secure document programs around the world. To improve security and reduce fraud, many planners today are developing sophisticated IDs with security features that are cross-linked at the time of personalization. This paper is intended as a reference for government officials considering how best to issue secure IDs. Because there are trade-offs with each model and different requirements for each issuing agency, there is no “best” method.

CONVERGENCE OF GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS WITH OTHER CARD SECTORS
Unprecedented growth in the demand for optimum national security throughout the globe has resulted in an expanding electronic identity document industry with smart technology leading the field. The rapid development of e-passports and identity card schemes is, perhaps, mirrored only by the 1990s smart card boom in the financial sector, which spawned the plastic card. National and international security is driving change with processes and technologies to enhance the security of documents. Many technologies are converging in the use and application of identification cards.
Durability of Smart Cards for Government eID
Secure Document Issuer
To be successful, a Government eID smart card program faces many trade-offs. The right
combination of components for the complete use chain must be carefully selected and
qualified to help ensure that the card will meet the extended life requirements of Government
eID cards and does not have to be reissued before its expected life time.
HOW TO PERSONALIZE A PASSPORT
A Comparison of Available Digital Print Personalization Tech
Over the last 10 years digital print personalization and the incorporation of biometric-carrying
chips have revolutionized the way passports are manufactured, personalized, issued and used.
The ceaseless activities of counterfeiters and criminals, and the spectacular growth in passenger
numbers, are the twin drivers for change. Governments are faced with many factors to consider
when choosing passport personalization technologies including quality, security, durability,
throughput, cost and legacy systems, as well as the appropriate level of automation and
centralization.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Measurement in Plastic Card Personanalization Operations
This report provides a summary of theories used for the measurement and analysis of manufacturing efficiency in card personalization operations. The objective is to explain how information contained within an audit trail file with production time stamps can be used to measure and evaluate manufacturing operations, including speed measurement, job size calculation, and performance measurement using techniques to standardize measurement output for variations in average job size.
To support these objectives, information is provided regarding the theory of speed and efficiency calculation and measurement for Datacard® card issuance systems.
