A document a state issues in its own name carries the state's credibility with it. A forged identity card is not only a loss to the issuing authority; it is a working key to everything that authority's documents unlock.
Trace Core supports the production of secure national identity cards, passports, driver's licences and employee badges, and of the financial instruments that carry comparable risk — tamper-evident cheques, secure vouchers and specialised banking stationery. The work covers the security features these documents carry and the materials they are made from.
As elsewhere, the company does not print them. It specifies and supplies what the issuing authority or its printer needs, which keeps the specification answerable to the threat rather than to the capabilities of one press.
