Quick authentication of banknotes

The ValiCash™application is able to help authenticate a banknote and show whether it is counterfeit or genuine – depending on the phone model – in less than a second. The app runs a verification system mainly based on the structural analysis of Intaglio print (Sound of Intaglio®) and more generally on specific optical characteristics of high-security printing processes, like Intaglio, Screen-printed features or holograms.

The authentication does not require any specific inks or hidden features in the design: banknotes already in circulation can be authenticated. The technology can easily be adapted to other high-security print output like tax stamps, birth certificates or other governmental documents containing, for example, Intaglio print as a Security Feature only.
