Governments, businesses, colleges and universities are fighting a never ending battle to preserve the integrity and authenticity of their secure documents. The primary cause for the proliferation of document fraud is easy access to low cost digital computers, copiers and scanners. ISP was established to provide effective solutions through ongoing development of new and creative document security technologies. Our sister company, Verify First Technologies (VFT), has been issued nineteen U. S. and European patents and have numerous patents pending for additional anti-fraud technologies.
International Security Products (ISP) specializes in the development and production of technologies related to anti-fraud security solutions. The Company’s mission is to engineer effective security methodologies to protect original content from replications, forgery and counterfeiting. It is our belief that most covert technologies, if used alone, are easily defeated with today’s digital scanners or copiers. Too often the untrained person accepting the document overlooks the not so obvious, covert or passive security feature. We do however believe that unique covert technologies can be a powerful deterrent to stop both document and brand counterfeiting. Specifically, ISP has been the leader in developing anti-fraud security features by using the following criteria:
