KINEGRAM REVIEW
KURZ (Germany)
KINEGRAM REVIEW is a specialized optically variable security feature developed by KURZ that incorporates verification elements visible only under specific lighting conditions or viewing angles, providing covert authentication capabilities for banknotes.
The technology embeds hidden security characteristics within the KINEGRAM structure that remain invisible or inconspicuous under normal viewing conditions but become clearly apparent when examined with appropriate tools or techniques. This creates multiple authentication levels—overt features for public verification and covert elements for professional cash handlers and forensic analysis.
KINEGRAM REVIEW enables central banks to implement sophisticated verification protocols without compromising the aesthetic appearance of the banknote. The hidden elements can include concealed images, patterns, or information that emerges only under UV light, specific wavelengths, or particular viewing geometries, making these features extremely difficult for counterfeiters to detect and replicate.
The feature supports layered security strategies where different stakeholders—from the general public to financial institutions to central bank experts—can authenticate currency at appropriate levels of scrutiny. This tiered approach enhances overall security while maintaining efficiency in cash handling and verification processes.
KINEGRAM REVIEW can be integrated into various banknote applications including security threads, foil patches, and stripes, working alongside other security features to create comprehensive protection. The covert nature of the verification elements provides an additional defense against counterfeiting, as criminals cannot reproduce what they cannot readily observe or analyze.
The technology is particularly valuable for high-value denominations or in markets where sophisticated counterfeiting threats exist, offering forensic-level security that supports law enforcement and central bank authentication efforts.
