Abstract

A method for identifying counterfeit cards and supports that can be used in such method. Such supports may be made of materials such as paper, cardboard, plastics and others. The creation of interference wave patterns generated starting from the interaction between an electromagnetic emitting source and particles installed in the cards or support, for example: by a printing processes. The so produced particle interactions (involving photons and electrons) provides complex interference maps in which constituent variables define wave junction conditions characteristic of the interaction between each INFORMATION BLOCK of particles The BLOCKS are created/built in accordance to those variables'"'"' statements, and located at different points in the support. To be approved as a valid Data point, the wave function present at each of these Points should match those stored in an extremely complex Data Matrix.

Claims

1. A method for identifying counterfeit documents and articles applied to the identification of a support, which comprises subjecting a medium, on or in which selectively pigmented particle deposits have been arranged according to a pre-established distribution and concentration model designed “

ad-hoc”

to produce specific interference patterns, to electromagnetic radiation supplied by one or more sources whereby the selected pigmentation effects modification by filtering the wave radiation received from said one or more given sources to generate interference patterns by emitting photons at new and different wavelengths, in this way integrating a complex undulatory system, and comparing data from which selected internal points are taken for measurement to a reference matrix (master patterns) to establish their identity against parameters defined for these chosen points (wavelength, amplitude and phase), giving place to the corresponding output states;

1 or 0, which allows for the creation of a binary code, or rejecting the data for not complying with the validity conditions.

2. A method according to claim 1 wherein said comparison is effected by collecting data from transducers or photoelectric cells located to receive radiation that has passed through the article containing the selectively pigmented particle deposits and by software means comparing the results obtained with those obtained from an authentic sample (a Master Pattern).

3. A method according to claim 1 wherein the selectively pigmented particle deposits have been printed on the article.

4. method according to claim 1 wherein said particle deposits are effected using clusters of particles.

5. A method as claimed in claim 4 wherein the concentration of the particles is selected to create a particular form of interference pattern from radiation passing through the article.

6. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the electromagnetic radiation is light.

7. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the electromagnetic radiation is in the radio frequency range.

8. A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein the selectively pigmented particles effect changes in the wave form of electromagnetic radiation impinging upon them in addition to contributing to an interference pattern

9. A card or support to be read and decoded according to the procedure of claim 1, comprising a layer of material codified by the assignation (by printing or any other procedure) of concentrations and distribution of pigmented particles, arranged and organized with reference to a matrix of undulatory behavior when exposed to an electromagnetic field, and generating light wave interference patterns as a characteristic of identity.

10. A card or support according to claim 9, comprising two or more layers encoded according to claim 9.

11. A card or support according to claim 9, having the information layer covered by one or more opaque protective layers.

12. A card or support according to claim 9 having the information layer covered by one or more transparent protective layers.

13. A card or support according to claim 9 made of paper.

14. A card or support according to claim 9 made of cardboard.

15. A card or support according to claim 9 made of plastic.

16. A card or support according to claim 9 made of acetate.

17. A card or support according to claim 9 made of rubber.

18. A card or support according to claim 9 made of Plexiglas.

19. A card or support according to claim 9 made of glass.

20. A card or support according to claim 9 made of adhesive tape.
