Abstract
A method of generating a reduced palette for use in a printing process is disclosed. In the method, a plurality of images obtainable by varying printing parameters of the printing apparatus are printed, and color values of the same are measured. Based on the color values, a clustering is performed to obtain a plurality of clusters having similar color values. For each cluster, one or more representative images are selected to form the palette. In this manner, images with color values both inside a convex hull and on the convex hull can be included in the palette.

A security document includes a security feature with a hologram and a color image arranged on top of each other. Holographic features of the hologram are visible when the security document is viewed under white light, and a plurality of image features of the color image are visible when the document is viewed under UV light. The image features are perfectly aligned with the holographic features. This can be achieved, for example, by providing one or more registration marks when forming the holographic features, and using said registration marks to later print the color image. Another possibility is to use the structure of the hologram to selectively apply two or more UV-sensitive ink materials onto the hologram to automatically align the same with the holographic features.
A personalizable security document (10) includes a security feature (3b) including a combination of a plurality of different features. In particular, the security feature (3b) may include a laser-engraved image in a first layer (16), and one or more fluorescent inks (7a, 7b) in further layers (27a, 27b), which are disposed below the first layer. Optionally, a watermark (8) may also be provided in a lower layer (18). A laser-engraving of the image is performed from a first side (S1) of the substrate (1) such that patterns formed by the inks (7a, 7b) are not affected. Under white light, the laser-engraved image can be viewed from the first side of the substrate, whereas multi-color fluorescence of the patterns can be observed from the second side (S2) under UV light.

A method of generating a personalized output image for a security document includes obtaining image information of a first image (16) formed on one side of a page of the security document (10), and a personalized input image showing a portrait of a holder of the security document (10).

Providing virtualized credential information may also include the license holder device providing authorization data to the relying party device in response to the relying party device having access to the network/cloud infrastructure and determining a preference for the relying party device to receive at least some of the virtualized credential information from the network/cloud infrastructure.
Maintaining information for a traveler includes creating a virtual travel credential containing information from a physical passport of the traveler and/or physical travel document(s) of the traveler, storing at least a portion of the virtual travel credential in a mobile device carried by the traveler, monitoring a location of the mobile device, and providing a signal in response to the mobile device transitioning from a first country/territory to a second country/territory. Monitoring the location of the mobile device may include detecting a cellular network in communication with the mobile device or using GPS functionality of the mobile device or receiving information that the traveler boarded a plane headed for the second country/territory. At least a portion of the virtual travel credential may be stored in a virtual travel credential server.

Abstract
HID Global CID SAS, Université Jean Monnet Saint Etienne and Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. The invention relates to a method for building at least one security image for a security structure of a security document from the multiplexing of color images (62, 64, 66, 68, 70), the method comprising the following steps: • selecting a marking method capable of producing sets of colors on the security document comprising different colors that can be displayed according to the modes of illumination and observation of the security structure, then, for example by means of a calculator, • establishing several sets of colors by physical measurement that can be displayed by the security structure in different illumination and observation modes. • distributing sets of colors comprising the different colors produced by the marking technique, in several groups of color sets, said different colors being measured, • establishing combinations of groups of color sets having at least one color set in common according to the number of different illumination and observation modes and the number of colors per image, • selecting (12) a combination of a group of color sets according to the number of desired illumination and observation modes and the number of colors per image, and • determining the images to multiplex by means of the combination of the group of color sets selected.
Printing or engraving or other techniques and resulting security documents can help inhibit or prevent tampering or forgery, such as by providing a strikethrough path through characters in a word. A characteristic of the strikethrough path can depend upon a characteristic of the word. For example, the strikethrough path can alternatingly ascend and descend through successive words in a sequence, such that the location of the strikethrough path within a particular character depends on that particular character, upon a location of the character within the word, or both. The strikethrough path can be constructed such that if characters are copied or excised and re-arranged, such re-arrangement is evident by misalignment of one or more portions of the strikethrough path that would otherwise be aligned in the original document.
A security document includes a first ink layer and a second ink layer. The first ink layer includes a first color in a first color zone and a second color in a second color zone offset from the first color zone in a first direction, and a first blended color including a mixture of the first and second colors in a first blended color zone between the first color zone and the second color zone. The second ink layer includes a third color in a third color zone and a fourth color in a fourth color zone offset from the third color zone in a second direction, and a second blended color including a mixture of the third and fourth colors in a second blended color zone between the third color zone and the fourth color zone. The first direction is different than the second direction.
A security feature, a document including a security feature, and a method of producing a document are provided. In one example a security document is disclosed to include a substrate having a micro-replicated lacquer applied to a first side of the substrate and a metal complex ink applied to the first side of the substrate thereby covering the micro-replicated lacquer applied to the first side of the substrate.
