Resarching Security applications

Security concepts for well thought-out, tamper-proof and durable products set the agenda for our research programme. ID documents as well as interconnected security applications will only be accepted if they are found to be secure and reliable. This requires to strike the correct balance between personal acceptability and the public concern about security.

Focus areas

Passport documents

We see a decisive factor for sustainable success in generating added value for the industry by our research. This can be, for example, higher durability of the end product, improved quality monitoring of a process or a cost-neutral increase in the quality of materials.

 

Identification cards

Application-oriented or user-oriented research is of great importance to us, always taking our research responsibility towards the industry seriously. Our transparent communication promotes the applicability, transferability and importance of test results and focuses the attention on the users' interests and requirements.

 

Security investigations

Research in the field of security are always application-oriented projects and without exception confidential.
