Revolutionizing Document Security: The Power of Non-Reflective Surface Fingerprinting

The video discusses the discovery of unique fingerprints on non-reflective surfaces, such as paper and plastic, which can be used to identify individual documents. A laser surface analyzer has been developed to read these fingerprints, enhancing the security of important documents like birth certificates and passports. The technology also has applications in identifying contraband cigarettes. Researchers hope this innovation will help prevent forgery and secure documents.
