Infosafe protecting artwork
InfoSafe recently developed a security system to protect from fraud a limited
edition print run of a painting by Scottish artist Peter Howson of the former
Celtic footballer Henrik Larsson. The prints, produced by Howson for a Scottish
charity, The Third Step, were each allocated a ticket containing a registration
number that is covered by a removable sealing strip. Similar to a PIN allocation,
the print’s buyer peels away the protecting strip to reveal the unique number that
is registered against the buyer’s name, thus successfully preventing fraudulent
prints from being produced for the black market.
