Abstract

See full text

A standardized document such as a credit card or drivers license contains an electrically conductive authenticating layer which is not visually discernible and has an electrical resistivity of less than 50 megohms per square. The presence of the authenticating layer may be verified by a proximity switch that can be built into mechanisms normally used in processing the document.
