Fargo Visual Security Elements (VSEs)
Fargo Visual Security Elements provide the building blocks and flexibility necessary to design a visually secure ID card. Choose from the following levels of custom-designed VSEs based on your security needs:
Level 1: Overt (Two VSEs minimum)
Overt VSEs are visible to the human eye and designed to make ID authentication easy to verify. Overt VSEs include:
- Flip images
- 2D/3D imaging effect
- Pseudo color
- Fine line designs (Guilloche)
- Morphing images
Overt VSEs act as sophisticated visible deterrents. They discourage replication and help to provide instant authentication.
Level 2: Covert (One VSE minimum)
Covert VSEs cannot be read by the human eye without a peripheral device to interpret and visualize. The Covert VSEs are:
Level 3: Forensic (One VSE minimum)
Forensic VSEs are the most difficult for a counterfeiter to detect – requiring extraordinary efforts to reveal and replicate. The Forensic VSE is:
Covert and Forensic VSEs offer a higher level of card security, harboring complex, unforeseen obstacles for counterfeiters. If a fraudulent card is created, verification of these missing microscopic elements can lead to the discovery of a perpetrator.
