Method for producing a label having at least one identifier and at least one authenticator printed on a printable medium. A unique identifier is generated by a centralized system or a printing device, and the unique identifier is printed on the printable medium incorporating the authenticator. The unique identifier is generated without relation to a product. The method is implemented with a system including one or more printing devices, one or more recording devices and one or more activation devices communicating with the centralized system.

Method for producing an identification and authentication label and associated device

The invention relates to a method and device for verification of non-violation of the integrity of a system or the identity of an object. An authentication seal is used, comprising a physical authenticator with bubbles () produced by a chaotic process on the production thereof, a characteristic of which is to be always unique and non-reproducible. A representation of said identifier with bubbles is stored in the form of an image and/or digitally in a database local or remote to the address (), for authentication of the assignment of the identifier in situ or on the object for protection. Said authenticator is provided with a physical connection () which permits connection to the site or object for identification. Any attack on the integrity of the seal, whether on the authenticator and/or the connection, irreversibly alters the total seal such as to render the same un-reusable. Said authentication seal comprises a means for prevention of violation of the integrity of a site or the identity of an object and provides proof of an effective violation.

Method and device for verification of non intrusion into a system and/or non-violation of the integrity of an object or the contents thereof

The present invention is a method for using a universal support consisting of one or more modules having a deformable enclosure () connected to a vacuum source () through an orifice. Said enclosure is of concave shape forming a chamber () provided with a flexible body (). The method consists in the following series of steps: applying a vacuum to the chamber () so that the deformable enclosure () collapses; positioning the part which is to be supported; breaking the vacuum in the chamber (); and applying a vacuum inside the deformable enclosure ().

The present invention relates to a method for certifying and subsequently authenticating original physical or digital documents. The concept of the evidence lies in the dual nature of a physical information item and a digital information item, one being the reference for the other that cannot lie amended at the risk of the evidence being lost. For a physical original document associated with a bubble seal there is a corresponding time-and-date-stamped, proprietary paperless reference counterpart. For a time-and-date-stamped, proprietary digital original document there is a corresponding reference counterpart in the form of a bubble seal.

Method for certifying and subsequently authenticating original, paper of digital documents for evidences

The invention concerns a process and the associated universal device for supporting a part () of random and/or possibly complex shape in relation to a rigid base () while establishing a work reference. It consists of inserting between the part to be held and the rigid base (), at least one deformable airtight enclosure () of constant volume full of incompressible particles (). Then vacuum is applied inside the deformable enclosure () of constant volume using a vacuum source () which can be connected to the deformable enclosure (). Thus the particles () amalgamate to constitute a solid block which at least partially rests on the rigid base () and holds the part () matching its shapes.

Universal insert support for holding and positioning parts of complex shapes

High security seal that can be reused an indefinite number of times because the authenticating part evolves in a chaotic manner each time the seal is opened and then put back into service. This seal is composed of at least two authenticators () and () at least one of which is movable with respect to the other into the open position. These two authenticators become fixed and stable in the closed position. In each new fixed position, the two authenticators cooperate to generate a new authenticating feature that is stored in a database in order to be compared during a check. This feature will be cancelled and replaced with another one when said seal is fraudulently or deliberately opened and thus will provide proof that it has been opened.

Tamper-proof and reusable high security seal

A method for making transactions secure based upon a card-type medium () comprising a number () and a remote database () connected to a telecommunications network. A unique and non-reproducible identifier () in the form of a bubble code is physically affixed to the card () comprising a number () contained either on a magnetic strip, of a bar code, or in an electronic label. One representation of this identifier () and or () is stored in the remote database () at the same number () as that present on the medium. This identifier () constitutes an unforgeable link between the magnetic strip () and the database (). When a call is made to the remote database by means of the number recorded on the card, a link authentication is performed by comparing the representation of the identifier stored in said database and the actual identifier.

Identification and authentication procedure without specific reader of a three-dimensional identifier (), (), (), () attached to an object or living being by using sensory capabilities of the human being notably its stereoscopic vision capabilities (A) and its tactile sense (A') permitting the appreciation of the particularity of the identifier which renders the latter difficult or impossible to reproduce which are, for example, heterogeneities mixed in a transparent material or surface ridges and/or cavities. The identification or reading is then carried by the visual comparison (B) of a two-dimensional representation image () of the identifier () () () () stored in a database () accessible by a network () and the identifier himself.

Method for identification and authenticating without specific reader an identifier

This invention involves a reading process for three-dimensional means of identification () that are unique and non-reproducible (), containing a mixture of at least two materials (and) that are distinguishable from one another (and), remarkable in that it consists of one part to recognize the internal heterogeneous structure of the means of identification () in two dimensions, and another part to verify and prove its third dimension to render falsification impossible. This characteristic reduces the amount of storage memory as well as the length of time necessary to perform the operations of reading, acquisition, and comparison usually conducted in such processes. The invention also involves a device that implements said process as well as a means of identification adapted to said process.

Method and device for reading authentication means and adapted identification means

The invention concerns a method for producing electronic modules with ball connector () or integrated preforms capable of being soldered on a printed circuit () and a device for implementing said method. The invention concerns a method for producing electronic modules in the form of ball housings combining a ball grid array () or geometrically identical preforms for interconnecting or shielding and surface-mounted components () on the same surface of a substrate (), thereby enabling said module to be directly connectable by soldering on a printed circuit (). The balls () and the components () are transferred in one single step onto the substrate () by means of a gripping device adapted to the topography of the module to be produced.
