Where the previous two editions of this text were written by a team of international peers in different fields of document security, the revised and updated third edition features just one author; the text was, however, reviewed by a team of European experts in document security. It offers professionals in the field an up-to-date resource covering all aspects of optical document security, including new material on paper-based security, printed security, optically variable features, security evaluation, and biometrics. The new edition features some 280 b&w photographs and illustrations, all of which are also presented in full color on an accompanying CD-ROM. The author is an independent consultant on document security for government departments and banking and financial institutions. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
