This invention relates to a secured identification medium and a method for securing such a medium. The secured identification medium comprises an integrated circuit and, printed on one side, identification information (Ip) about the holder of the medium. It further comprises a set of characteristic attributes Att(Ipi) of the identification information, generated from a capture (Ipi) of the identification information and an extraction algorithm. The set of characteristic attributes of the printed analog image is stored in the integrated circuit and is designed to be compared, during an authentication stage, with a second set of characteristic attributes of the same printed image on the medium.

Secured identification medium and method for securing such a medium

The invention relates to a process to make secure a personal portable object comprising a body of the personal portable object, a microchip, a printed image and a device to enable said personal portable object to communicate with an entity external to the device. The process includes using an image file and an insertion algorithm to generate an image feature vector Vsi(num), storing the image feature vector Vsi(num) in the microchip, using the printed image obtained by a scanning device to generate an image feature vector Vsi(dig), and using a read-back algorithm to match the image feature vector Vsi(num) and the image feature vector Vsi(dig).
