Taking the global leadership in identity documents manufacturing

Optic-ID makes it possible to emit identity documents that can be truly authenticated by anyone, with any handheld smartphone, in the ambient light.

These documents were until now designed for use by police and customs, but the evolution of society means that all businesses and individuals need to verify the identity of those wishing to enter into social or business relations, or to visit their premises.

This means that identity documents must now be adapted to correspond to these new needs.

Taking the global leadership in remote identity verification

It's a fast growing, US $ 7 billion market, but the companies in that market are only reading the documents, not really authenticating them.

This has considerable unfortunate consequences when it comes to the risk of identity theft.

Identity verification companies will not be able to maintain their positions vis-à-vis an operator offering to truly verify these documents, by analyzing their security devices such as holograms which our patents have a monopoly on, as 80% of such documents are protected with a hologram.

Taking the global leadership in securing banking cards

Millions of identity cards are for sale on the dark web in the form of sets consisting of a name of the bearer, a card number, an expiry date and a crypto. This allows fraudsters to make purchases on the Internet, and in some cases even empty the bank accounts of people whose identities are impersonated.

The crypto can advantageously be replaced by a random 3D marking, impossible to reproduce, that the user will have to present to his smartphone to perform a remote operation.

In a first step, banks just need to send pre-enrolled stickers to their customers, who will stick it on the back of their card. In a second step, new cards will be delivered with such a 3D marking printed instead of the crypto.

It is a simple and inexpensive operation that will ruin the fraudsters specializing in the sale of identity card references, and significantly reduce the losses caused to banks and individuals by such fraud.

Taking the global leadership in invalidating faked documents in circulation

Such documents exist each time the originals are poorly protected against copying, such as many driver's licenses, hunting permits, membership cards, and all kinds of certificates and ordinances.

It suffices to send the actual holders of these documents a sticker containing a pre-enrolled random 3D marking, to be stuck on the document in question.

People using false documents will not receive this sticker and will no longer be able to use these documents.

This method makes it possible to secure a very large number of documents in the world where a very high number of important documents are poorly protected against copying or theft.

Taking the global leadership in electronic signature

The procedures used for the electronic signature are generally very poor, and often based on the "2D secure" method which is now no longer authorized for payments.

It is time to switch to a more advanced method, where everyone will present an impossible to reproduce "signature card", to sign a contract.

This card cannot be used while it is kept in your pocket, unlike contactless smart cards.

The other applications of these signature cards are very numerous, such as access to bank accounts, to intranets, to social sites, to medical files, etc. These are only few examples.

Taking the global leadership in new secure means of communication

All the sending / receiving services of mails or other types of messages, telephony, video conferencing, can be secured with our technology.

The issuers identify themselves remotely with their identity document or with a specific card, and it is the telecommunications organization which establishes the contacts between people who will let them know who is chatting with them.

These operations can be mounted quickly by establishing partnerships with telecommunications companies and sites specializing in chat, voice over IP, teleconferencing, etc.

Taking the global leadership in fighting counterfeiting and gray markets

It is a large and rapidly developing market around the world.

The services offered are often limited to providing products with security features that cannot be authenticated by customers, but only by few persons owning specific accessories. These security features are therefore practically useless!

The Optic-ID application will allow the general public to authenticate all products bearing an optical authentication device, which could be as simple as marking with a metallic paint or a varnish comprising reflective glitter.

Customers or the services are industrial companies, dealers, and companies already involved in brand protection.

Taking the global leadership in physical access control

Optic-ID optical keys allow access to the premises to be controlled.

Equipment becomes extremely simple: a barcode identifying the lock, door or gate to be opened, and an opening device which is operated remotely by a server.

The user only reads this barcode and shows his card to a smartphone which sends the request to the server and opens the device if the card holder has the right to do so.

This is the case for large markets such as transport and event ticketing, invitations, access to hotel rooms, parking lots, labs, and more generally all applications of physical access control.

Taking the global leadership in strong and valuable partnerships with world leading social sites

Almost all social sites will become our clients, when they are providing opinions on products or services, placing classified ads, giving access to personal pages, or simply organizing any type of communications between members.

Cards can be issued under a pseudonym, the name of the holder being communicated in the event of conflict only by order of a competent judge.

Here is what should profoundly change the face of the web and the security of its users.
