E-Documents

Morpho (Safran group) produces some 1.5 million smart cards a day, making it a key contributor to the digital security of persons and data in the e-document market.

Smart cards are now an integral part of our daily lives, whether used to ensure the security of banking transactions, for access control, ID verification or mobile communications. These cards feature operating systems calling on Morpho’s security expertise, including electronic identification methods (PKI, data encryption, e-signatures) or biometric data.

A brand-new ID document security technology

With “3D Photo ID”, Morpho offers an innovative new ID document security technology. Developed in-house, it gives ID documents even more outstanding security features. 3D Photo ID technology uses a stereoscopic process to show the card-holder’s face in 3D, making it virtually impossible to replace or falsify the photo.

No. 4 worldwide in smart card production
1.5 million smart cards/day produced
5 billion subscribers use a SIM card daily
