3M and GSSC sign reseller agreement

 

3M and Graphic Security Systems Corporation (GSSC) have signed a reseller agreement granting 3M worldwide non-exclusive sales rights to offer GSSC’s proprietary Scrambled Indicia technology within the passport and ID markets.

The two companies say they achieved technical compatibility between 3M travel document readers and the Scrambled Indicia technology two years ago. They add “this brought enhanced image security to ePassports and travel documents, and gave document authenticators additional verification capabilities.”

GSSC’s VIPhoto software, a Scrambled Indicia technology, is a covert digital security feature that provides enhanced counterfeit resistance by encoding personal data into an ePassport holder’s identification photo.
