| FibeCrypt (Fiber Cryptosystem) is an anti-counterfeiting system that authenticates the substrate of documents. This system utilizes magnetic micro-fibers that are dispersed randomly throughout the documents. Each document has distinctive micro-fiber patterns similar to the biometric measurements of fingerprints due to randomness of the paper manufacturing process. When the document is issued, the micro-fiber pattern of each is encoded into the reference data in a recording system, such as a magnetic stripe or a bar-code, etc. when a document is issued, the terminal of the system authenticates it by comparing the reference data with the pattern which is newly acquired from its substrate. |

This system authenticates not the devices that are attached or printed on the documents but the substrates that substantially are the document. The system has wide enough tolerances in machine readability to authenticate the documents even in the unavoidable variations which occur when the documents are transferred or swiped.

| To detar counterfeiting, the manufacturing process of the micro-fibers is focused on intricacy and random location of magnetic property that results in extreme difficulty of reproduction. Additionally, it is difficult for criminals to analyze the reference data because cryptography and digital signatures protect them. Therefore, the system is doubly protected against both counterfeiting of the substrate and alteration of the encoded data. This system provides the highest level of document security. |
