Sony Disc and Digital Solutions today announced the development of new mass production technology which adds an additional layer of security to Lippmann holograms by recording individually distinct identification codes. Lippmann holograms with individually distinct identification codes are extremely resistant to counterfeiting and forgery, and are most suitable for credit cards, smart IC cards and authentication stickers. In addition to developing and mass producing Lippmann holograms with individually distinct identification codes, Sony Disc and Digital Solutions also envisions launching a new business whereby it will operate an authentication server via the internet, for CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and ‘trace-and-track’ services which utilize the individually assigned code on the holograms.
Sony Disc and Digital Solutions will eventually introduce the Lippmann holograms with individually distinct identification codes as authentication stickers for Sony products. It will deliver sample holograms to product manufacturers in May 2010.
