The Authenticator System consists of a custom designed taggant with a companion reader. The security of your system lies in the use of two ‘keys’ which together unlock the authenticity of your currency, documents, products, brands or components.
The Authenticator Systems are extremely flexible to adapt to each clients needs, and this flexibility provides additional depth to the security of the system. The Authenticator taggants can adapt to a variety of Materials, Locations, Contents and Forms.
The Authenticator taggants in their original form are micronized ceramic powders that are commonly mixed with inks to be printed on labels, forms, designs, etc. But these same taggants can be integrated into materials as well, including a wide range of plastics and fibers.
Authenticator taggants can be located nearly anywhere on a product or document, embedded invisibly in its content, or as part of a logo or label. It can even be hidden innocuously in the tear tape on a plastic wrapper.
In addition to the security provided by the spectral keys, a third layer of security can be created by using the invisible taggant (made readable by the spectral key) to carry product specific identifying information. Secure Products taggants can even be used in dot matrix printers.
While printing ink is the most common form of applying Authenticators™ to products and documents, the flexibility to integrate it into a variety of different materials ultimately means that the form of its use is virtually unlimited. This allows Secure Products the ability to adapt solutions to nearly every authentication application.
The Authenticator System uses two keys to authenticate our clients value. The first key is the unique spectral excitation frequency and the second key is the spectral signature. The chart below profiles some of the different types of authenticator Systems that can be integrated for your specific needs.
Simple Select Visible or Invisible

Converts incoming frequency to different outgoing frequency

 Specific spectral response can be visible or invisible Special detectors and/or filters are used to read invisible
Multiple Response Select Visible or Invisible Converts incoming frequency to multiple different outgoing frequencies Specific spectral responses can be visible and/or invisible  
Special Response Select Visible or Invisible Converts incoming frequency to different outgoing frequency Specific spectral response can be visible or invisible Unique signature characteristics such as delayed response, intensity decay pattern and/or persistence
Multiple Input Select multiple Visible or Invisible Converts incoming frequencies to multiple
different outgoing frequencies		 Specific spectral responses can be visible and/or invisible  
Proprietary Alphabet Select single or multiple Visible or Invisible Converts incoming frequency(s) to different outgoing frequency(s) Specific spectral response(s) can be visible and/or invisible Proprietary combination provides a third layer of security
