5. VeriCode®
The VeriCode® Symbol is a small, checkerboard-like
matrix, that has the highest data density and was
developed by Veritec during the late 1980s and was
endorsed by NASA as its code of choice. With four solid
borders making it a robust code, each symbol contains
much more information than the standard one-
dimensional bar code, in less space.
6. VeriCode® FEATURES
Robust with error correction up to 35 percent
Can be read at any angle of rotation and 65° skew
Highest data security 2D code
Can be read on curved or textured surfaces
Can be applied to 98 percent of all surfaces
Highest data density per unit area (174) bytes
Proprietary-protected – not in the public domain
7. VSCode™
In 2003, Veritec developed and patented the VSCode®
and increased the capacity to over 4,000 bytes of
information. Because of its high data capacity,
VSCode™ becomes a portable data-storage container,
ideal for storing text data and/or biometric information
such as a fingerprint template, facial image, hand
configuration or skin texture. The data can be instantly
obtained without the need of a central database and
securely stored with a biometric key.

21. Wireless PhoneCodes
Wireless PhoneCodes – Veritec has integrated VeriCode®
together with wireless multimedia technology to introduce a
revolutionary method of purchasing gift cards, venue tickets, or
to redeem promotional coupons. This highly interactive
efficient shopping tool allows customers to purchase tickets and
gift cards at retail shops, on-line websites, or by phone and have
them sent electronically to the recipient via their wireless phone
or PDA. When the customer goes to redeem their gift
(GiftCode™), ticket (TicketCode™), or coupon
(CouponCode™) the 2-D VeriCode® image on the cell phone
screen will be scanned for the purchase or to allow entry access
to the venue.
23. VeriCode® Secure Label
The VeriCode® Secure Label is used
to secure and authenticate documents
and equipment.
24. VeriCode® Secure Label –
Preprinted or printed on site
• Secure Sticker
– Hologram
– Strong color-shift
• Pre-printed or site-printed
VeriCode®
– VeriCode® made to customer’s
specification
• Government and vehicle/owner
information and an encrypted,
consecutive number
• Applied to high-value documents
such as vehicle titles
• Prevents fraudulent production
and provides visual verification
29. What Next?
