Entrust Datacard has announced that it partnered with Imprimerie Nationale to design and create a customised attendee badge for the inaugural INTERPOL World 2015 global security event that took place in Singapore in April.This badge showcased a range of features used in some of the most secure document programmes in the world. The high-assurance ID badges were issued to all attendees of the event and included several of the same high-security features that are helping government agencies combat fraud and counterfeiting – and make alteration virtually impossible."We were honoured to be a part of this event, and proud to provide a secure credential that shows attendees what kind of security technologies are now available to them," says Russell St John, senior vice president of global marketing for Entrust Datacard. "Governments around the world face increasingly sophisticated fraud and forgery threats – in fact, there are more than 40 million lost, stolen or fraudulent government credentials in circulation today. The technologies featured on these badges were designed specifically to address these challenges."Entrust Datacard personalisation elements include dye diffusion thermal transfer (D2T2), smart card encoding and custom tactile impression, as well as Datacard Durashield Holographic Overlay laminate for added security and protection. The card itself, provided by Imprimerie Nationale, featured several effective security elements, including an embedded smart chip. Credentials were personalised, printed, impressed and laminated on the Datacard CD800 card printer, which features an inline lamination module."Identification cards and passports serve as critical platforms in these highly integrated government ecosystems," adds St John. "Introducing the technologies demonstrated on this attendee badge can make a measurable impact on overall security."The INTERPOL World 2015 inaugural event is a biennial gathering that connects law enforcement agencies with security solution providers and security professionals – and promotes critical public-private partnerships aimed at improving border security and efficiency for countries of all sizes.
