Glossary

Published in January 2005: Our latest Technology Report describes security paper threads that have been used to protect documents for many years. These fundamental security applications have involved specialist technology that has been developed by the thread manufacturers.

This report provides an in depth review of the composition and manufacturing techniques associated with embedded security threads and describes the types of security features that can be accommodated. It also provides useful information about the implementation criteria and technical issues associated with the inclusion of these threads into security paper.
