| Secure Products’ clients have a wide range of requirements, from protecting revenue
and profits against fraud, theft and piracy; to concerns with safety, liability and even
terrorism. Below are some brief examples: |
| |
 |
| The central banks and treasuries of some of the world’s largest currencies incorporate
Secure Products’ system as a cornerstone in their portfolio of anti-counterfeiting
deterrence. |
| |
 |
| Software companies and major brand name apparel producers use Secure Products’
authentication marking system as part of their anti-piracy program. In both instances,
the companies are protecting their intellectual property – in the first case their
software code and in the latter their brand name. |
| |
 |
| The rise of desktop publishing systems, scanners and color laser printers has given
new tools to would-be miscreants and created new problems in the arena of document
authentication --ranging from authenticating IDs, such as driver’s licenses to
check fraud. Secure Products has pioneered systems for document authentication. |
| |
 |
| Product warranties represent a direct cost as well as a potential liability. Forward
thinking companies are developing authentication programs to ensure that only qualified
parts have been used prior to authorizing warranty services. |
| |
 |
| Diversion is the unauthorized resale of otherwise legitimate goods. Consumer packaged
goods companies use Secure Products’ authentication marking system to covertly
track the distribution of their goods and to work with customs officials to confiscate
diverted merchandise. |
| |
 |
| In the art world, Secure Product’s authentication system has been used to guarantee
the provenance of valuable works of art and authorized reproductions. |
| |
 |
| Terrorism is often financed through counterfeiting of currency. Governments use
Secure Products’ technology to provide validation systems to forestall counterfeiting
as a weapon to devalue and destabilize a national currency. |
