Output Leak-blocking Solution

April 26, 2024 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2404E05] At the 23rd International Security Exhibition & Conference (SECON 2024), an output leak-blocking solution for the security of document leaks was presented by Anysell Co., Ltd.
This solution consists of security paper, a security output sensor, and a security gate. The security paper that forms the basis of the solution has patterns engraved on its surface like Korean paper.
With the alloy wire mixed at the pulp stage, the general paper is processed into the so-called ‘electronically sensitive’ security paper.
The security output sensor is installed in the multifunctional device. It separates security paper from regular paper and controls technology and information to be printed only on the security paper. When the regular paper is fed in, it controls the fed-paper to be printed as blank paper without any contents.
If an attempt is made to secretly leak the security paper with the technology and information printed on it, the security gate detects the alloy wire contained in the security paper and generates an alarm sound. Detecting not only in clothing but also in bags and shoe soles is possible.

In addition to basic paper sizes such as A4 and A3, customization is possible in special sizes for printing drawings. They can be attached in the form of stickers to reagents or parts in the laboratory, and there have been cases of producing research notes.
“Technology and information leaks are occurring in various ways through paper documents. Various types of leaks are occurring including taking out one to two documents, putting documents back after copying those documents,” explained a senior manager of the company.
He went on to say, “In current times, we are moving into a paperless era, but paper documents unavoidably have to be produced, and if we focus only on digital security, leaks are likely to be happen. We think the solution could be considered as the final stage of blocking the leaks of technology and information.
