[00:13.590 --> 00:14.030]  Alright.
[00:17.930 --> 00:19.330]  So I'm going to be talking with you today.
[00:19.570 --> 00:34.610]  We're going to start off with the history of identification cards in general and go through an overview about influential corporations, how identification cards and driver licenses became and how they ended how they are today.
[00:34.890 --> 00:44.070]  We're going to talk about the Real ID Act, which is a very controversial subject, especially today, especially amongst the presidential candidates.
[00:45.830 --> 00:48.770]  We're going to talk a little bit about amateur ID manufacturing.
[00:49.150 --> 00:50.850]  And I'm going to try to do a quick demo.
[00:51.670 --> 00:57.730]  I was going to kind of like take someone from the audience and make them a new identification.
[00:58.910 --> 01:02.150]  I was actually going to give out new identifications for everybody.
[01:02.630 --> 01:06.690]  But I figured we'd have like a little bit of a problem if I did that.
[01:06.890 --> 01:11.270]  So what ended up happening is my printer that I took with me.
[01:11.630 --> 01:13.450]  The ink exploded on the airplane.
[01:14.610 --> 01:20.030]  So, unfortunately, I made a quick printout.
[01:24.970 --> 01:29.810]  You can see here, it's in pretty bad... well, maybe you can't see, but it's in pretty bad shape.
[01:29.990 --> 01:31.170]  But we'll get to that in a little bit.
[01:34.530 --> 01:39.710]  And then we'll conclude with some high-tech ID concepts that hopefully you'll be seeing in the future.
[01:42.390 --> 01:46.770]  This is an overview of what we'll be discussing during the the history of identification cards.
[01:46.810 --> 01:52.990]  We're going to talk about fake IDs, valid government uses, and influential corporations.
[01:54.050 --> 02:00.910]  So, identification cards started off with driver's licenses, you know, basically with the automobile.
[02:01.310 --> 02:08.610]  And this happened in Germany and France in the 1900s, and quickly became adopted in the United States around 1910.
[02:09.010 --> 02:14.630]  And as more and more people began driving, it kind of became the de facto form of identification.
[02:15.370 --> 02:16.190]  You know, throughout the world.
[02:17.130 --> 02:21.990]  And, you know, the inherent flaw with the whole system is that they were never designed to be identification cards.
[02:22.230 --> 02:23.990]  And that problem still exists today.
[02:24.850 --> 02:32.750]  So, and it's, you know, you can't really go about your day-to-day basis without a proper form of identification.
[02:33.130 --> 02:36.510]  And, you know, I'd like to hear a story of anyone that doesn't have identification.
[02:37.030 --> 02:40.190]  You know, government-issued identification that lives a normal life.
[02:40.710 --> 02:43.730]  So, in New York City, would you leave the city?
[02:44.750 --> 02:45.310]  Probably not.
[02:45.810 --> 02:48.370]  And even in New York City, a lot of things can't be done.
[02:48.470 --> 02:50.810]  Try to open a bank account without a valid...
[02:50.810 --> 02:51.130]  Exactly.
[02:51.650 --> 02:51.650]  Exactly.
[02:52.070 --> 02:53.410]  So, almost do it at what...
[02:53.410 --> 02:55.250]  Post 9-11, almost impossible.
[02:55.470 --> 02:55.710]  Right.
[02:57.310 --> 03:00.830]  So, there are good... there are uses for identification.
[03:00.830 --> 03:03.130]  And it does do things like protect your privacy.
[03:03.330 --> 03:04.530]  It proves you are you.
[03:05.250 --> 03:06.770]  I mean, and that's, you know, good.
[03:06.850 --> 03:08.890]  You don't want other people assuming your identity.
[03:09.530 --> 03:14.470]  So, and like we just discussed, it makes things like travel work and purchasing possible.
[03:16.010 --> 03:21.910]  A problem we see in many foreign countries is you can be stopped and harassed.
[03:22.050 --> 03:26.510]  You know, you can... you have to have your identification documents on hand wherever you go.
[03:26.930 --> 03:29.070]  And not having these documents could be detrimental.
[03:31.750 --> 03:34.330]  And this is an emerging problem in the U.S.
[03:34.750 --> 03:37.490]  You know, we don't have this... we currently don't have this problem.
[03:37.610 --> 03:46.750]  But especially post 9-11, as someone just mentioned, we've been seeing this as a... as a problem we need to address and prevent.
[03:52.570 --> 03:53.030]  So...
[03:53.030 --> 03:55.830]  There are some identification cards and penalties increasing.
[03:56.570 --> 04:01.030]  And this is mainly due to increased concerns of illegal immigration.
[04:02.390 --> 04:15.290]  Many of the scapegoat... what I believe has been scapegoats to the increased penalties have been, you know, in response to 9-11, the enhanced concerns of terrorists obtaining realistic identification cards.
[04:15.350 --> 04:24.030]  If you're familiar with the terrorists obtaining identification cards during 9-11, and they actually obtained legitimate documents through... legitimate channels.
[04:24.210 --> 04:29.310]  They submitted fraudulent information through their local DPS or Department of Transportation.
[04:31.850 --> 04:44.470]  And, you know, I don't think this is a good response to this type of activity because if you're a terrorist and you're about to commit, you know, some type of mass crime towards society, you know, you're not going to worry that you're...
[04:44.470 --> 04:55.690]  that the penalty towards... towards your driver's license just went from a, you know, Class C to a Class A misdemeanor when you're about to kill, you know, a few hundred people.
[04:57.230 --> 04:59.830]  So... and then there's the increased worries about underage drinking.
[05:00.610 --> 05:04.430]  And, you know, I personally don't think this is a very good way to solve this problem.
[05:04.850 --> 05:06.730]  You know, people are going to drink if they want to drink.
[05:09.150 --> 05:13.230]  If you... you know, obtaining a fraudulent identification has never been a problem.
[05:13.330 --> 05:21.510]  There's on-run retailers, and all... you know, every once in a while the government will shut down an omni retailer, and a new one will pop up within the next week.
[05:21.850 --> 05:23.670]  And those documents are pretty high quality.
[05:23.670 --> 05:24.670]  They're based overseas.
[05:24.670 --> 05:26.330]  Many of them are based in Canada.
[05:26.670 --> 05:36.890]  The laws in Canada are a way so that if you can't prove that a fake identification card is being used for illegal activity, then you can manufacture them.
[05:37.150 --> 05:39.430]  And we see this in British Columbia, mainly.
[05:40.510 --> 05:43.530]  There's illegal identification card shops around town.
[05:43.790 --> 05:52.210]  You know, you go in, you get your picture taken, and the... you know, the identification cards look surprisingly similar whether it's the real identification cards or government-issued cards.
[05:52.550 --> 05:59.410]  There's fake ID rings, which mainly target the illegal immigration and illegal immigrants.
[05:59.950 --> 06:06.830]  And we see those getting shut down on a very large-scale basis, because they're usually pretty open with their... with their techniques.
[06:07.870 --> 06:20.750]  And then you can... the biggest problem that we see that, you know, should not be a problem by any means, and should be addressed immediately, is the... obtaining fraudulent identification cards through legitimate channels.
[06:21.050 --> 06:33.290]  So that's assuming the identity of a, you know, a dead neighbor or a relative, and submitting these applications to your local Department of Transportation, or DPS.
[06:34.550 --> 06:38.970]  A problem we probably won't ever be able to address is corrupt government employees.
[06:40.150 --> 06:46.210]  And, you know, there will be means to suppress this behavior, but, you know, it's something that will probably always be a problem.
[06:46.610 --> 06:52.250]  I've seen government employees charging upwards to $10,000 for a single driver's license.
[06:52.510 --> 06:58.630]  And, you know, with that kind of cash involved, you won't see that being stopped anytime soon.
[07:01.350 --> 07:11.310]  So, this is a chart identifying, you know, how you would obtain a driver's license or identification card through your local Department of Transportation, DPS.
[07:11.670 --> 07:13.330]  And none of this information is new.
[07:13.510 --> 07:15.970]  I imagine everyone's been through this process at least 10 times.
[07:16.570 --> 07:22.690]  If you don't have a Social Security number, a Social Security card, you know, you apply for that through your Social Security Administration.
[07:23.210 --> 07:31.130]  If you're assuming the identity of another person, there's ways to get this card by presenting fraudulent information.
[07:31.690 --> 07:35.650]  And again, the same way through the Vital Records Office, getting birth certificates.
[07:36.530 --> 07:51.230]  So, the point is, is that when you actually apply to the Department of Transportation, you can present illegitimate documents and obtain an authentic document with fraudulent information on it, your face, and information.
[07:51.230 --> 07:58.350]  Now, the problem we see with most states in the United States is they do not validate the information with the...
[07:58.350 --> 08:00.930]  with the breeder documents, or what they're called.
[08:02.190 --> 08:06.430]  The...beeder documents are known as your Social Security card or your birth certificate.
[08:07.030 --> 08:11.590]  And they do not validate these documents with the Vital Records Office or the Social Security Administration.
[08:12.310 --> 08:15.350]  So, they have no proof that you are who you are.
[08:17.670 --> 08:28.710]  What will happen is, what the states will do is they'll issue an identification card, and, you know, six months later, they'll realize they issued someone an identification card that wasn't actually them.
[08:28.910 --> 08:31.870]  And by then, it's too late, because the person already has the card.
[08:34.130 --> 08:35.890]  So, some influential organizations.
[08:36.290 --> 08:41.490]  We have Digimark Corporation, which is like the Microsoft of the identification card industry.
[08:41.970 --> 08:44.670]  And they make about the two-thirds of the U.S.
[08:44.710 --> 08:46.470]  driver's licenses, which is a huge number.
[08:49.010 --> 08:53.690]  They're most likely going to make billions of dollars off the Real ID Act.
[08:53.910 --> 08:56.210]  And, you know, we'll go on to discuss that in a minute.
[08:56.850 --> 08:59.810]  They make 60 million identification documents per year.
[08:59.910 --> 09:07.010]  And they produce identification documents for over 25 countries, including both border countries, Canada and Mexico.
[09:07.270 --> 09:11.470]  So, they pretty much own most of the world's industry.
[09:12.190 --> 09:13.070]  There's L1.
[09:13.210 --> 09:14.670]  I'm not too familiar with this company.
[09:14.670 --> 09:18.110]  And they produce somewhere between one-third of the rest of the U.S.
[09:18.170 --> 09:18.750]  driver's licenses.
[09:19.190 --> 09:32.790]  Now, if you go to your DPS or Department of Transportation office, and they give you a driver's license on-site right after getting your picture taken, then that means that the state individually produces their own driver's license.
[09:33.010 --> 09:40.410]  And these documents are usually the least secure and easily to reproduce illegally.
[09:41.210 --> 09:48.510]  There's the AAMVA, which is my favorite government organization, mainly because of the acronym.
[09:48.750 --> 09:52.230]  It stands for American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators.
[09:53.670 --> 09:55.750]  You know, say that ten times fast.
[09:56.910 --> 10:02.530]  And, you know, when the Real ID Act is implemented, it will be kind of the main coordinator between the states.
[10:06.210 --> 10:12.950]  These are some of the other major players in the formulation of the Real ID Act.
[10:13.210 --> 10:18.050]  And these organizations will, you know, be mainly affected by the Act.
[10:18.690 --> 10:23.310]  So, you know, you can pick your favorite acronym from the list.
[10:26.880 --> 10:28.540]  So, on to the Real ID Act.
[10:29.320 --> 10:37.800]  We're going to talk about the purpose, its legislative history, the outlined standards and requirements, and the most interesting part is the controversy.
[10:42.640 --> 10:51.220]  So, its original purpose was to establish new standards for state-issued driver's licenses so they can be used for federal purposes.
[10:52.120 --> 11:04.200]  And then the Department of Homeland Security said these federal purposes were to, for citizens, you know, boarding commercially operated airline flights, entering federal buildings, and nuclear power plants.
[11:05.100 --> 11:13.980]  So, I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to be pretty upset if my ID won't let me get into, you know, nuclear power plants when the time comes.
[11:14.960 --> 11:23.920]  So, basically what's going to happen is if your ID isn't Real ID compliant, and your state's not enrolled in the program when the time comes, you're not going to be able to fly.
[11:25.100 --> 11:31.520]  And, you know, federal buildings, they're talking about post offices and courthouses, federal courthouses, and things like that.
[11:32.420 --> 11:34.400]  And I don't know how strict they are going to be with that.
[11:34.800 --> 11:41.240]  You know, making the, I don't know, they're going to extend the time that you wait in the post office so they can, you know, accept IDs.
[11:41.640 --> 11:42.700]  It sounds pretty ridiculous.
[11:45.200 --> 11:48.060]  Additionally, curbing fraud and other identification related crimes.
[11:48.060 --> 11:57.800]  And most of all, the entire system is related around preventing illegal aliens from obtaining any federalized, any federally recognized identification.
[11:58.460 --> 12:02.640]  Now, this is one of the main issues that we're seeing here.
[12:02.780 --> 12:08.640]  So, illegal aliens aren't going to be able to fly, you know, send mail, go to court.
[12:08.920 --> 12:10.020]  I mean, it's going to be a big deal.
[12:10.640 --> 12:14.940]  And, you know, there's a lot of opponents to this issue and a lot of proponents to this issue.
[12:16.600 --> 12:26.080]  So, Representative James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin attached it to the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief.
[12:26.080 --> 12:27.440]  And it's a military spending bill.
[12:28.300 --> 12:33.220]  No Senni community hearings were actually delivered on the Real ID Act itself.
[12:33.240 --> 12:35.440]  So, no discussion was ever conducted upon it.
[12:35.580 --> 12:38.640]  And, you know, it was basically just attached to this must-pass bill.
[12:41.480 --> 12:42.860]  That happened in 2005.
[12:43.260 --> 12:45.780]  And after, you know, a few delays, as you'll see on this next slide,
[12:49.020 --> 12:53.440]  what will happen is in 2011, all states must be enrolled in the program.
[12:56.840 --> 12:58.360]  This slide is really confusing.
[12:58.800 --> 13:00.640]  I always have trouble explaining it.
[13:00.640 --> 13:05.340]  But, basically, Phase 1 and Phase 2, there was, like, a bunch of problems.
[13:05.680 --> 13:08.360]  And then there were some delays.
[13:08.760 --> 13:14.780]  Phase... and then...so, by 2011, you know, the states must be enrolled in the program.
[13:14.960 --> 13:29.680]  Between 2011 and 2014, all citizens issued new identification cards under the age of 50, must have Real ID Act compliant identification cards or driver's licenses.
[13:30.520 --> 13:39.220]  Now, this doesn't mean that if your ID that you currently have doesn't expire, you know, until 2014, you'll still be able to use it.
[13:40.420 --> 13:50.320]  So...but after 2014, if your ID is not Real Act compliant, then you won't be able to fly into a government building.
[13:52.380 --> 13:57.480]  And then the same thing goes for citizens over the age of 50 until 2017.
[14:03.460 --> 14:09.740]  So, the outline standards and requirements for the Real ID Act aren't much different than what the current standards are in most states.
[14:10.200 --> 14:11.620]  And this is kind of unfortunate.
[14:11.860 --> 14:19.580]  The things that are different are the fact that all databases from every Department of Transportation or DPS office in the United States must be linked together.
[14:21.020 --> 14:30.620]  So, if someone applies for a driver's license in Texas, then in California, the Texas office will be able to say, well, you already have a driver's license issued in California.
[14:30.920 --> 14:32.840]  Would you like us to make that inactive?
[14:33.780 --> 14:36.460]  And you'll say, well, no, I still live in California.
[14:36.460 --> 14:38.360]  I come to Texas in the summer, you know.
[14:38.460 --> 14:41.560]  And they'll say, well, sorry, I can't issue two driver's licenses.
[14:41.560 --> 14:50.900]  And this is going to be a big problem because, you know, the weakest link in the chain is going to be the thing that compromises the whole system.
[14:51.020 --> 15:01.380]  So, if there's a security issue in Texas, then someone might be able to have access to the entire system and everybody's driver's license or identification card information.
[15:02.260 --> 15:20.400]  Now, the data retention and storage outlines require that everybody's information be held on file for 15 years, meaning they'll scan your photo or non-photo ID onto file and your birth certificate, including your documentation legal status.
[15:20.460 --> 15:23.340]  And they'll keep that on file for up to 15 years.
[15:23.340 --> 15:28.040]  And they'll include that in the database that will be accessed by every state.
[15:29.120 --> 15:36.300]  And most important of all, they will begin to validate breeder documents with the Social Security Administration
[15:39.940 --> 15:46.420]  and the other office that validates, like, birth certificates.
[15:46.740 --> 15:47.860]  I forgot that that was called.
[15:48.880 --> 15:52.380]  Anyways, their data requirements, this has also been a big issue.
[15:54.840 --> 15:59.220]  Included in every card must have a common machine-readable technology.
[15:59.840 --> 16:16.020]  So, although every state may issue different cards with different designs, they all must have the same type of machine-readable technology, whether it be RFID or 2D barcode or 3D barcode.
[16:16.220 --> 16:17.700]  Was it 2D or 3D?
[16:18.080 --> 16:18.760]  3D?
[16:19.680 --> 16:20.120]  Okay.
[16:21.260 --> 16:28.120]  And it must include the full name, the date of birth, the gender, the driver's license, and a digital photograph and signature.
[16:28.380 --> 16:30.240]  So this is basically all your information.
[16:31.020 --> 16:33.920]  And I'm surprised it doesn't include your Social Security number as well.
[16:34.860 --> 16:37.660]  And otherwise, the cards are no different than the current standards.
[16:37.660 --> 17:03.440]  And this is, you know, this is very disturbing because what originally, what, you know, while talking with people in the industry doing research for this project, I was, you know, I was talking with, you know, the number one reason the Homeland Security and James Sensenbrenner introduced this bill was so we could have a new identification document that was high security,
[17:03.960 --> 17:11.440]  you know, unable to reproduce, you know, basically a new document that could not be fraudulently remanufactured.
[17:11.940 --> 17:27.120]  And what ended up happening was large stakeholders in the industry said, well, if we use this new technology that you are proposing, then all of our technologies are going to become obsolete, and we're going to lose huge amounts of money, you know.
[17:27.240 --> 17:36.060]  But that's not how they communicated to the, you know, AAMVA and the other governmental organizations.
[17:37.100 --> 17:46.240]  They, you know, they lobbied for their technologies, saying that their technologies were better, even though we've been fraudulently manufacturing their technologies for, you know, tens of years now.
[17:47.520 --> 17:58.000]  So, so what ended happening is in the, in the, um, Real ID Act, they deleted all of the requirements for a high security document and left them the way they are now.
[17:58.900 --> 18:07.100]  So, you know, now we have a secure, a less secure document and a bunch of other rules that may or may not make the system more secure.
[18:07.420 --> 18:09.600]  So it's really unfortunate that that had to happen.
[18:14.180 --> 18:15.960]  So, now we have some controversy.
[18:15.960 --> 18:19.220]  We can see that many people, you know, don't like this act at all.
[18:19.340 --> 18:21.100]  We have Barack Obama totally opposes it.
[18:21.440 --> 18:24.600]  Hillary Clinton wanted the law to be reviewed, you know, whatever that means.
[18:25.440 --> 18:29.260]  Um, even Mike Huckabee said the law was a huge mistake.
[18:30.960 --> 18:34.160]  Um, ACLU says the Real ID Act would be abused by the private sector.
[18:34.300 --> 18:47.440]  And when they say this, they mean that the ID Act, when the common machine-readable technology that was going to be included in every ID, could be abused by the private sector in a way that everywhere you go and every time you use your identification card,
[18:47.640 --> 18:49.120]  all your information can be stored.
[18:49.240 --> 18:52.570]  This can be your purchasing habits, you know, your whereabouts.
[18:53.400 --> 18:55.740]  And, you know, people can start collecting data on you.
[18:56.160 --> 18:58.600]  Um, and they say, you know, this is a terrible idea.
[18:59.140 --> 19:02.220]  You know, this is the beginning of the end, what they usually say, blah, blah, blah.
[19:03.010 --> 19:09.480]  Um, and even many conservative groups, like the gun owners of America oppose the act.
[19:09.760 --> 19:16.740]  You know, they say, well, if something like this happens, then felons in other states won't be able to buy guns in our states, you know?
[19:18.700 --> 19:20.200]  Which is probably a good thing, right?
[19:20.440 --> 19:20.740]  Whatever.
[19:21.800 --> 19:26.940]  Um, Eliot Spitzer backed the Real ID Act, but also wanted to give all illegal immigrants right to vote.
[19:27.100 --> 19:28.680]  So he's also pretty confused.
[19:29.340 --> 19:32.400]  Um, but he represented a really good point.
[19:32.400 --> 19:37.360]  He wanted to treat driver's licenses independently from federally issued IDs.
[19:37.760 --> 19:44.600]  He wanted to give all citizens the right to drive for, for, uh, uh, public safety reasons.
[19:45.140 --> 19:50.400]  Um, he said, these two things should be totally separate, and we shouldn't be bringing them together.
[19:50.580 --> 19:52.560]  You know, this has been a problem since the beginning of time.
[19:52.860 --> 19:54.480]  Why are we continuing the problem?
[19:55.140 --> 19:58.420]  Um, and many other states have adopted that idea as well.
[19:58.560 --> 20:09.080]  And they've been getting, begun to give, um, all inhabitants of their states driver's licenses, although they're not federally recognized identification cards.
[20:10.820 --> 20:25.380]  So, even though they have the right to drive in those states, they don't have the right to all the federally, um, the federal rights that the other citizens have by having this, uh, enhanced driver's license.
[20:27.720 --> 20:35.600]  So, this riot, this, this, um, act is, was completely unfunded, um, and many states are pissed.
[20:36.100 --> 20:39.960]  Uh, we already talked about the commercial issues, and the privacy issues.
[20:40.220 --> 20:47.720]  And then we have the public safety issues, which many states aren't allowing their illegal aliens to drive, which, I mean, is understandable.
[20:47.720 --> 20:54.260]  And this is a totally other, you know, we could talk for, you know, we could talk for another 12 hours about, you know, immigration and illegal aliens.
[20:55.720 --> 21:04.060]  Um, so I made this, uh, I made this, uh, slide, and then I didn't put a key on it.
[21:04.940 --> 21:07.500]  And then I came back later and, like, had no idea what it meant.
[21:10.240 --> 21:12.680]  So, I still don't know what the gray states mean.
[21:14.320 --> 21:15.180]  And I apologize.
[21:15.700 --> 21:18.260]  I don't, I don't even know what half the gray states are, actually.
[21:22.560 --> 21:27.380]  Um, so we see, we have California and Alabama are, like, gung-ho, you know, they're ready to comply.
[21:28.260 --> 21:29.640]  Real ID Act all the way.
[21:30.140 --> 21:37.360]  We have, uh, the yellow states, which have actually passed legislation saying we're not gonna comply with certain parts of the Real ID Act.
[21:37.360 --> 21:38.200]  if it kills us.
[21:38.720 --> 21:40.560]  And they're all financial reasons.
[21:41.120 --> 21:52.320]  Um, the only state that speaks out against the, the, one of the only states that speaks out against the, uh, Real ID Act for reasons other than financial reasons is Utah.
[21:54.220 --> 22:00.760]  And they say, you know, this is a major problem, a major, uh, act against our privacy.
[22:01.460 --> 22:05.680]  Um, and they're probably using that as an excuse because they don't wanna pay the money.
[22:05.680 --> 22:10.140]  But, still, they're taking a step forward that none of the other states were taking.
[22:10.920 --> 22:17.740]  And then we have the confused states like North Dakota, Illinois, and, uh, Michigan, thank you, Michigan.
[22:21.450 --> 22:22.910]  Oh, yeah, sorry about that.
[22:22.970 --> 22:24.310]  See, I told you I'm not...
[22:24.790 --> 22:33.290]  Um, and they, they've spoken out again, they've publicly spoken out against the Act, but they've unwillingly began to follow anyways.
[22:34.130 --> 22:34.670]  Yeah.
[22:36.090 --> 22:36.470]  All right.
[22:36.750 --> 22:37.950]  So, now something a little more exciting.
[22:39.930 --> 22:40.470]  Okay.
[22:41.290 --> 22:43.090]  So, manufacturing at home.
[22:43.590 --> 22:52.730]  We're gonna talk about the needed equipment, needed materials, a little bit about the manufacturing processes, and process, and, um, the advanced production methods.
[22:52.730 --> 22:55.590]  So, if you haven't already downloaded this guide, I recommend doing it now.
[22:57.830 --> 22:59.490]  Okay, it's .pdf, sorry.
[23:02.630 --> 23:09.830]  Um, and what I'm doing here, I'm gonna do the most simplest ID reproduction method that I have listed in the guide.
[23:10.790 --> 23:13.470]  And it's the quickest and easiest to reproduce.
[23:14.030 --> 23:18.310]  And outlining the guide are other methods as well that are much more expensive.
[23:20.310 --> 23:27.830]  And, you know, if you have questions about that, we can talk about those one-on-one or later via email or however you choose.
[23:29.370 --> 23:30.850]  So, why manufactured home?
[23:32.190 --> 23:36.290]  You can produce high-quality documents for your organization, small business, or club.
[23:36.410 --> 23:41.110]  You can protect your privacy or create another identification, which is not illegal.
[23:41.630 --> 23:50.730]  Um, you know, if you want to start a small-identified cart manufacturing or consulting business, which is something that I've kind of taken the path of.
[23:51.290 --> 23:59.790]  Um, and then you can produce other quality documents with these exact same techniques for the fraction of the cost.
[24:00.290 --> 24:09.230]  Um, if you were to produce some of the documents that I'm about to show you through another retailer, you're gonna be paying, you know, upwards to $10 a document.
[24:09.450 --> 24:12.370]  We're gonna make them for, like, 50 cents a document, you know.
[24:12.510 --> 24:17.870]  So, this is easy to do and it's a lot of fun and it's really interesting and I'm, you know, I'm totally obsessed with it.
[24:20.370 --> 24:24.470]  So, obviously, you should never produce documents that are similar to government documents.
[24:26.870 --> 24:31.250]  and, um, for example, I'll show you a picture.
[24:40.330 --> 24:42.230]  This is my driver's license.
[24:43.270 --> 24:43.950]  Yeah.
[24:46.150 --> 24:49.290]  And this is my membership card for LockSport International.
[24:51.870 --> 24:54.570]  And there's many differences between the two cards.
[24:57.660 --> 25:12.360]  But you can see, um, there's enough differences between these two cards that I would never get in trouble, you know, for having a, uh, document that looks like a government document.
[25:12.920 --> 25:18.720]  So, so what you need, you need a compatible,
[25:25.430 --> 25:32.730]  you need a compatible inkjet printer, um, a laminator, a die cutter, which we see here on the left.
[25:33.190 --> 25:33.870]  I don't know if anyone see that.
[25:34.050 --> 25:35.930]  We'll probably be able to see when the lights go back on.
[25:36.570 --> 25:43.370]  Um, a magnetic stripe encoder for encoding the stripe on the back of the card if you choose to use that technology.
[25:44.390 --> 25:47.770]  Um, custom rubber stamps for reproducing the hologram.
[25:48.190 --> 25:51.810]  A black light for admiring your, uh, work at the end.
[25:52.110 --> 25:58.230]  You need a scanner for scanning in images or, you know, making your personal, um, template.
[25:58.570 --> 26:02.410]  A signature pad for writing signatures directly to the card.
[26:03.110 --> 26:04.510]  Photoshop, of course.
[26:04.930 --> 26:11.750]  And all this, all of this material, most of this material, can be purchased at brainstormidsupply.com.
[26:11.850 --> 26:16.330]  And this is my favorite, um, site where I purchased most of my materials from.
[26:20.380 --> 26:23.920]  And then, those were, that's, that was all the equipment.
[26:24.080 --> 26:26.600]  Now, the materials we'll talk about a little more detail.
[26:26.700 --> 26:27.600]  The laser Teslin.
[26:27.740 --> 26:29.180]  Now, this is synthetic paper.
[26:29.620 --> 26:30.900]  It's called polyphen.
[26:31.500 --> 26:34.540]  It's a very porous, plastic paper.
[26:34.960 --> 26:36.220]  Um, I have some up here.
[26:36.340 --> 26:38.780]  It just looks like normal paper, but it's very thick.
[26:38.860 --> 26:39.320]  It's opaque.
[26:39.960 --> 26:44.220]  Um, and it's also, it's just another little fact, it's biodegradable.
[26:44.800 --> 26:54.040]  Um, and it, it has superior adhesion qualities, meaning that it can adhese to the laminate, uh, material.
[26:54.200 --> 27:01.100]  Now, normal, normal, like laser paper, or, um, you know, stock paper, does not adhese to laminate.
[27:01.340 --> 27:03.840]  And this material will adhese directly to the laminate.
[27:04.140 --> 27:06.500]  And that's why it makes it superior for this application.
[27:07.060 --> 27:12.000]  We have Pearl-X pigment powders, which are perfect for, um, making holograms.
[27:12.780 --> 27:22.040]  And what this material, what this powder does is that, at an angle, you can't see the, uh, you can see the powder, but when he looks directly onto it, you can't see the powder.
[27:22.520 --> 27:24.560]  So, it's perfect for holograms.
[27:24.940 --> 27:26.920]  That site's disabled, by the way.
[27:27.080 --> 27:28.500]  Right, the site is disabled.
[27:29.420 --> 27:34.880]  And that's why I included the site owner's, um, email address directly below it.
[27:35.200 --> 27:38.220]  And he did give permission to release his email address.
[27:39.860 --> 27:42.940]  So, he might take like three or four months to get back to you.
[27:44.600 --> 27:48.900]  But, it's really the only place you can buy a lot of this equipment at, a lot of this materials at.
[27:48.900 --> 27:58.420]  But, so, in the actual guide, it has, uh, his, um, his website next to each individual material.
[27:59.040 --> 28:01.900]  So, you know where, you know, where everything is from.
[28:04.200 --> 28:05.620]  And then transparent base.
[28:05.760 --> 28:19.680]  Now, when we're making the actual, um, holographic outlay, we mix transparent base, which, with the Pearl-X pigment powder and the ultraviolet pigment powder, I'm going to do that in a minute and show you how it's done.
[28:19.900 --> 28:28.520]  And then we apply that to the stamp and stamp it directly to the, um, Teslin material with the pre-printed ID face on it.
[28:30.720 --> 28:32.280]  So, now I'm going to go through the process.
[28:33.380 --> 28:36.200]  If you want to, want to turn the house lights on for a minute.
[28:40.970 --> 28:43.610]  Let me go through this as quickly as possible.
[28:47.500 --> 28:48.120]  Thank you.
[28:58.530 --> 29:01.190]  So, what I do is I take a shiny surface.
[29:01.690 --> 29:05.310]  I have, first of all, I have my pre-printed template out.
[29:05.530 --> 29:09.410]  Now, in the guide, it explains exactly how I print my template.
[29:10.310 --> 29:13.710]  Um, what I start out is I have eight cards on this single sheet.
[29:14.490 --> 29:17.370]  And on the back, I have the back pre-printed as well.
[29:17.570 --> 29:23.990]  And the back of the card has, like, our mission statement and, um, like, the website of our club.
[29:24.430 --> 29:26.390]  Um, there's also room on the back.
[29:27.930 --> 29:30.030]  So, we can use this material here.
[29:30.190 --> 29:38.670]  Now, this material is actually, um, magnetic stripe that's pre-embedded into the laminate.
[29:38.670 --> 29:41.510]  And this can be bought at brainstormidsupply.com as well.
[29:42.290 --> 29:46.090]  And I have it so when it's all lined up, it'll look like this.
[29:46.090 --> 29:49.370]  And when it's die cut out afterwards, it'll come out perfectly.
[29:49.830 --> 29:54.890]  Um, so, you know, when you're making your own template, you have to, like, take all this stuff into consideration.
[29:56.230 --> 30:00.550]  And, you know, it'll take many, many hours of printing and, you know, reconfiguring.
[30:00.550 --> 30:04.530]  But if you can manage to do it and it all comes out well, you'll be very happy.
[30:06.350 --> 30:08.390]  So, what I'm gonna do is I get a shiny surface.
[30:08.390 --> 30:14.110]  I usually use a piece of aluminum foil, but I'm gonna use this piece of $10 laminate instead because I don't have any aluminum foil.
[30:18.330 --> 30:18.810]  Um...
[30:18.810 --> 30:22.610]  This kind of looks like drugs, but it's actually UV pigment powder.
[30:26.250 --> 30:28.390]  Empty like a... I don't know if you can see that.
[30:29.290 --> 30:30.410]  There's a little...
[30:31.730 --> 30:34.470]  like an eighth of a gram out on the...
[30:37.320 --> 30:39.380]  Okay, this is the Pearl-X pigment powder.
[30:39.960 --> 30:41.240]  It's very shiny stuff.
[30:41.500 --> 30:41.900]  It...
[30:42.800 --> 30:45.060]  It gets all over your hands and in your lungs.
[30:47.280 --> 30:49.160]  So, I recommend, um...
[30:49.160 --> 30:50.560]  wearing a respirator when you do all this...
[30:50.560 --> 30:53.440]  actually flying everywhere because the air is very, uh...
[30:53.440 --> 30:54.960]  active on the stage here.
[30:55.780 --> 30:57.840]  Empty a little bit on the table there as well.
[30:58.500 --> 31:00.140]  Now, I take some of the, uh...
[31:00.140 --> 31:01.660]  This is...
[31:01.660 --> 31:03.740]  It's called glazing medium.
[31:05.160 --> 31:05.520]  Um...
[31:05.520 --> 31:10.260]  Really, all you need is a transparent base, acrylic, water base, any type of material.
[31:10.480 --> 31:12.300]  You might have to experiment around with that.
[31:16.380 --> 31:16.820]  Um...
[31:16.820 --> 31:18.480]  It looks like I've never opened this before.
[31:18.700 --> 31:19.120]  Sorry.
[31:23.790 --> 31:27.990]  And I'm going to drop, like, one, two, three...
[31:27.990 --> 31:28.390]  I don't know.
[31:28.690 --> 31:29.710]  A whole bunch on the table.
[31:30.150 --> 31:31.730]  And I take my finger...
[31:32.510 --> 31:33.510]  This is going to get messy.
[31:34.470 --> 31:36.070]  And I mix it up, like...
[31:36.070 --> 31:37.090]  I do this pretty fast.
[31:37.570 --> 31:39.510]  Because this stuff will dry fast in the air.
[31:39.690 --> 31:42.690]  And you can only really make, like, three holograms before this stuff dries.
[31:46.400 --> 31:48.540]  And I spread it out ultra, ultra thin.
[31:48.700 --> 31:53.660]  Now, the main problem that new hologram makers do is they don't spread it out thin enough.
[31:53.980 --> 31:56.820]  And they get, like, huge globs of holograms on their new IDs.
[31:58.180 --> 31:58.900]  And, um...
[31:58.900 --> 32:00.420]  It doesn't look very authentic at all.
[32:04.670 --> 32:05.230]  So...
[32:05.230 --> 32:07.490]  I'm going to take this stamp right here.
[32:08.870 --> 32:11.070]  It says, LockSport International.
[32:13.290 --> 32:13.850]  Um...
[32:13.850 --> 32:14.550]  Across...
[32:14.550 --> 32:15.310]  In letters all the way across.
[32:15.330 --> 32:16.070]  And we'll see that in a minute.
[32:17.090 --> 32:19.730]  And I stamp the sheet very lightly.
[32:21.810 --> 32:23.810]  And I apply it to...
[32:23.810 --> 32:26.190]  The card that I want to apply the hologram to.
[32:28.290 --> 32:28.850]  Okay?
[32:30.670 --> 32:31.230]  Now...
[32:33.010 --> 32:34.350]  It's very, very light.
[32:34.570 --> 32:36.890]  And when you apply the laminate, you can see it better.
[32:37.230 --> 32:39.490]  Now, if you turn the house lights off, I can show you.
[32:41.730 --> 32:42.350]  Uh-oh.
[32:52.750 --> 32:54.570]  Now, can I turn the, um...
[32:56.010 --> 32:57.370]  Well, does this light turn off?
[33:02.800 --> 33:03.080]  No?
[33:08.500 --> 33:09.420]  There it is.
[33:10.600 --> 33:11.340]  Can you see it?
[33:12.620 --> 33:12.900]  Yeah.
[33:13.280 --> 33:13.440]  Sure.
[33:14.120 --> 33:14.400]  Well...
[33:16.580 --> 33:18.360]  I mean, this, like, goes all the way around.
[33:24.100 --> 33:24.820]  Okay, let me try it.
[33:24.840 --> 33:26.100]  That didn't come out as good as I wanted to.
[33:26.160 --> 33:26.980]  So let me try it one more time.
[33:31.130 --> 33:32.810]  See, it's already beginning to dry.
[33:43.130 --> 33:44.390]  There's probably no way, huh?
[33:52.270 --> 33:52.870]  Thank you.
[33:54.130 --> 33:56.230]  Um, we can see this is the UV pigment powder.
[33:56.390 --> 33:58.850]  It lights up real well with the black light.
[34:00.530 --> 34:10.230]  Um, and then if I find my driver's license and my membership card I can show you.
[34:11.170 --> 34:11.930]  There we go.
[34:16.410 --> 34:18.670]  So there's my membership card I made earlier.
[34:19.210 --> 34:21.350]  And you can see it lights up very well, right?
[34:22.590 --> 34:27.990]  And this is my Texas driver's license, which doesn't perform nearly as well as mine.
[34:30.550 --> 34:36.790]  But if you go to the airport and they, you know, the first thing they do is they put your driver's license under the black light.
[34:37.210 --> 34:43.450]  And they've all been trained to tell, you know, black light, um, security features above all else.
[34:44.110 --> 34:49.990]  And black light, you know, UV light security features are usually the easiest to reproduce, unfortunately.
[34:51.210 --> 34:52.890]  Um, so I have these stamps.
[34:53.010 --> 34:59.270]  And these stamps I obtained from simonstamp.com and they're in Canada, which is probably the reason why I was able to obtain them.
[35:00.030 --> 35:06.530]  Um, the other, when I tried to obtain stamps from, um, from other sources.
[35:08.830 --> 35:17.110]  When I tried to obtain stamps from other sources, they, um, you know, like in the U.S., I got messages back that said, well, these represent U.S.
[35:17.370 --> 35:19.110]  hologram images from various states.
[35:19.630 --> 35:20.730]  We're not going to be able to reproduce.
[35:20.830 --> 35:22.450]  We're not going to be able to make these stamps for you.
[35:22.770 --> 35:23.970]  What was the name of the site?
[35:23.970 --> 35:32.310]  They're Simon's, it's in the, it's in the, um, guide, but it's called simonstamps.com, or simonstamp.com.
[35:32.930 --> 35:37.310]  And they let you produce all types of, um, graphic images and things like that.
[35:41.870 --> 35:48.980]  So, the next step in the process would be to place your laminate on the identification card template sheet that you already produced.
[35:48.980 --> 35:53.430]  You have your hologram produced on every single identification card.
[35:53.660 --> 36:04.000]  And then you have your back laminate, like we showed here, which I have, um, I'm using magstripe, so I can add that extra security feature.
[36:04.910 --> 36:13.810]  Um, then I would use this piece of, and I have all the outlines for the sizes and thicknesses of laminates that I use.
[36:13.810 --> 36:16.120]  And I have a piece of other laminate that I put on top.
[36:17.000 --> 36:20.480]  And then I would normally put this through the laminator and let it dry for a few minutes.
[36:20.850 --> 36:24.220]  And then the next step would be to cut it out on the actual die cutter.
[36:24.460 --> 36:30.830]  You can buy several different types of die cutters on the Internet with different sizes, depending on your application.
[36:31.620 --> 36:37.200]  Um, the die cutter I chose to bring today is much bigger than any U.S.
[36:37.270 --> 36:37.910]  driver's license.
[36:38.800 --> 36:42.640]  Um, not to confuse, you know, what my intentions were.
[36:43.160 --> 36:44.770]  That's why I made a bigger one.
[36:45.450 --> 36:51.890]  So, um, the die cutter is like a $500 piece of equipment, but it's, it weighs about 40 pounds.
[36:52.040 --> 36:53.370]  It's pretty, maybe like 30 pounds.
[36:53.500 --> 36:54.140]  It's like pretty heavy.
[36:54.240 --> 36:54.830]  It's pretty awesome.
[36:55.330 --> 36:56.870]  Um, and it's really satisfying.
[36:57.040 --> 37:02.870]  You know, you pull down this lever and it like crinkles through the teslan and the laminate, and it's like really a good feeling.
[37:03.120 --> 37:13.350]  And I'm gonna cut out, I'm gonna cut out an identification card from a pre-laminated set of IDs that I have here and show you how that's done.
[37:13.930 --> 37:15.740]  So we can have the house lights back.
[37:19.850 --> 37:22.270]  Can you make those magnetic stripes readable?
[37:22.650 --> 37:23.170]  Yes.
[37:23.550 --> 37:24.470]  The magnetic stripes...
[37:25.770 --> 37:27.570]  The magnetic stripes will read.
[37:27.810 --> 37:32.170]  They are fully writable on three different tracks with the proper equipment.
[37:46.940 --> 37:59.240]  Well, hypothetically, you could take your real driver's license and copy it over to your identification card and use that as a membership card.
[38:13.780 --> 38:15.240]  So, there we go.
[38:17.960 --> 38:19.380]  Alright, let's see if I can do this backwards.
[38:21.280 --> 38:22.900]  So, I usually, I have the...
[38:22.900 --> 38:24.240]  This is a laminated...
[38:26.600 --> 38:27.000]  Um...
[38:27.000 --> 38:27.620]  Pre-laminated.
[38:29.500 --> 38:30.620]  I put it in...
[38:30.620 --> 38:32.520]  I usually do it from the back because it's easier to see.
[38:35.220 --> 38:38.260]  But now I can't see anything, so...
[38:42.400 --> 38:44.160]  And I line everything up by sight.
[38:44.160 --> 38:48.140]  And it took me, like, six months to get really good at this.
[38:48.240 --> 38:50.980]  But now I can do, like, a hundred cards in, like, ten minutes.
[39:01.610 --> 39:03.090]  I want everybody to hear this.
[39:14.890 --> 39:15.890]  I think I'm your dad.
[39:42.050 --> 39:42.450]  Alright.
[39:43.070 --> 39:43.830]  Alright, we'll see.
[39:44.530 --> 39:44.930]  No.
[39:49.690 --> 39:50.850]  Alright, so that's, uh...
[39:52.070 --> 39:53.310]  And you can see the...
[39:55.670 --> 39:57.530]  LockSport logo that runs across the side.
[39:58.170 --> 39:59.650]  And in the back is the, uh...
[40:00.150 --> 40:01.630]  Perfectly aligned magstripe.
[40:02.370 --> 40:03.990]  Along with our membership creed.
[40:06.150 --> 40:09.030]  And this will go directly into a magstripe encoder.
[40:11.070 --> 40:11.470]  Um...
[40:11.470 --> 40:14.670]  Some other things I just want to touch on are...
[40:14.670 --> 40:16.610]  This is a piece of...
[40:18.190 --> 40:18.590]  PhotoEasy...
[40:21.230 --> 40:22.110]  Well, you can't see it.
[40:22.170 --> 40:23.450]  This is a piece of PhotoEasy.
[40:24.150 --> 40:24.550]  Um...
[40:24.550 --> 40:25.390]  It's just for making screens.
[40:25.950 --> 40:27.610]  It's another way of making holograms.
[40:27.610 --> 40:28.890]  And you make...
[40:28.890 --> 40:30.010]  You use the, uh...
[40:30.010 --> 40:30.550]  Transparency.
[40:30.890 --> 40:32.150]  It says LockSport International.
[40:32.190 --> 40:33.230]  You put it out in the sun.
[40:33.710 --> 40:35.330]  And you can plot, uh...
[40:35.330 --> 40:37.270]  A transparent, like, screening material.
[40:37.590 --> 40:39.810]  And it makes the PearlX and the UV powder in there.
[40:39.910 --> 40:41.450]  And just rub it on...
[40:41.450 --> 40:42.680]  The entire, um...
[40:44.230 --> 40:45.490]  The entire, uh...
[40:45.490 --> 40:46.090]  Printer template.
[40:47.870 --> 40:48.330]  Um...
[40:50.310 --> 40:51.210]  Okay, I guess...
[40:51.210 --> 40:52.590]  I think that's it for the, uh...
[40:52.590 --> 40:53.490]  Demonstration for now.
[40:54.530 --> 40:54.710]  So...
[41:03.680 --> 41:04.100]  So...
[41:04.100 --> 41:05.120]  So this is a picture of Photoshop.
[41:05.860 --> 41:06.280]  Oh...
[41:06.280 --> 41:06.540]  What?
[41:07.080 --> 41:07.460]  Oh...
[41:07.460 --> 41:07.580]  Oh...
[41:07.580 --> 41:08.140]  Oh...
[41:09.400 --> 41:09.820]  Thanks.
[41:12.720 --> 41:16.580]  This is a picture of what, you know, the template looks like before it prints on Photoshop.
[41:16.800 --> 41:23.440]  And you can see how I have, like, the guides and the lines that help me line up each already-made template file on the computer before it prints.
[41:26.360 --> 41:26.800]  Um...
[41:26.800 --> 41:27.320]  This is...
[41:27.320 --> 41:28.580]  It's just something I want to touch on.
[41:28.660 --> 41:29.680]  It's called the Alps Printer.
[41:30.060 --> 41:31.080]  And this is...
[41:31.080 --> 41:34.440]  This is how you make really high-quality, professional-looking, um...
[41:34.440 --> 41:36.220]  Identification card image, uh...
[41:36.220 --> 41:36.860]  Holograms.
[41:37.080 --> 41:44.640]  And what you do is you spread out an even layer of PearlX powder onto a piece of laminate onto the, um...
[41:45.340 --> 41:46.380]  There's two sides of the laminate.
[41:46.440 --> 41:51.100]  There's a side of the laminate that has the, um...
[41:51.100 --> 41:51.980]  What's it called?
[41:52.600 --> 41:53.040]  Adhesive.
[41:53.260 --> 41:54.040]  Adhesive, thank you.
[41:54.220 --> 41:55.780]  There's the side that has the adhesive on it.
[41:55.940 --> 42:02.340]  And you put an even layer of PearlX powder on the adhesive side and put it in this printer.
[42:02.620 --> 42:06.380]  And the printer, what it does is it seals in a...
[42:06.780 --> 42:11.200]  The PearlX powder in the areas that you want the hologram in only.
[42:11.380 --> 42:18.440]  And then you take the laminate out of the printer and you wash off, um, the excess, um, PearlX.
[42:19.480 --> 42:22.100]  And what you'll have left is a perfect hologram.
[42:22.920 --> 42:24.460]  And this printer, they don't make them anymore.
[42:24.460 --> 42:26.520]  You can find them on eBay for about $800.
[42:27.560 --> 42:29.320]  And usually they come and they don't work.
[42:30.600 --> 42:33.180]  And you'll have to buy a new one and that one will come and it won't work.
[42:33.400 --> 42:35.440]  And then you'll sell it back on eBay and then...
[42:40.320 --> 42:42.100]  It's a terrible process.
[42:43.400 --> 42:44.080]  All right.
[42:45.120 --> 42:46.220]  I'm gonna wrap it up here.
[42:47.280 --> 42:49.780]  Um, so some futuristic concepts and designs.
[42:49.920 --> 42:53.360]  We have PVC is being replaced by Teslin, which is the polyphen we talked about.
[42:54.020 --> 42:59.670]  Um, holograms are being replaced by henograms, which are like, um, much more high-tech holograms.
[42:59.670 --> 43:02.790]  You know, we have, like, several different images and one hologram.
[43:03.510 --> 43:08.570]  And, um, some of you see them on, like, the back of phone batteries and stuff like that.
[43:09.490 --> 43:12.550]  Um, 1D being replaced by 2D or 3D.
[43:13.910 --> 43:15.170]  I'm not sure what it is.
[43:16.090 --> 43:19.370]  Um, single color UV is being replaced by full color UV.
[43:19.870 --> 43:22.030]  And, like, what I showed you was a single color UV.
[43:22.190 --> 43:34.290]  But if you have a printer that you can replace the ink in the print cartridges, and you can get several different types of UV pigment powder, you can mix your own ink together and re-inject the ink into the printer cartridge and have a full color UV printer.
[43:34.550 --> 43:38.490]  And you can print directly onto the Teslin with this type of, uh, printer.
[43:38.770 --> 43:42.910]  And, you know, refilling ink cartridges is something that, you know, many of you probably explored with.
[43:43.590 --> 43:45.690]  Um, so you can reproduce this pretty easily.
[43:45.890 --> 43:49.730]  There's Gullichen iris print, which are Gullichen security lines.
[43:49.890 --> 43:52.130]  You know, they make the geometry really unique.
[43:52.130 --> 43:58.750]  And when you try to, um, um, scan these images, it usually comes out pretty bad.
[43:59.610 --> 44:08.670]  And then iris print is when the color is gradually changed in a way that is impossible to reproduce on normal, um, like, residential printers.
[44:09.550 --> 44:20.270]  Um, some other pretty cool stuff is hidden images that are only available with decoding lenses that are, um, that are available only to, like, government agencies and things like that.
[44:20.790 --> 44:24.530]  And you see on the left, there's the picture of the black image.
[44:24.630 --> 44:27.150]  But with the decoding lens, it turns red and has a special design.
[44:28.070 --> 44:31.130]  Optically variable ink, which is similar to the Pearl-X material.
[44:31.790 --> 44:34.810]  Um, and it changes colors with angles.
[44:35.130 --> 44:38.230]  There's infrared ink, which is nothing new.
[44:39.630 --> 44:44.130]  Alright, so if you have a credit card, you can take it out and see it's probably a different color.
[44:44.130 --> 44:46.310]  The magnetic stripe is something other than black.
[44:46.470 --> 44:50.570]  It probably has something printed on, like, Ultra Secure or, like, American Express or something.
[44:50.810 --> 44:58.690]  And it's like, you know, like the blue American Express cards that have, um, a blue magnetic stripe.
[44:59.270 --> 45:01.490]  You know, and they can print their logos and stuff on there.
[45:01.710 --> 45:08.090]  And then there's microtext, which also isn't new, but is, um, also extremely hard to replicate.
[45:11.620 --> 45:17.200]  So then there's the, the, probably the single coolest thing that I've ever discovered in the ID industry.
[45:17.900 --> 45:22.260]  Um, when I was discovering this, uh, technology, I was talking to someone in the industry.
[45:22.820 --> 45:37.800]  Um, and I was telling him, the reason why it said team leader on the first page is because when I was, you know, calling people and talking with people, I said, you know, my name's Doug, I'm from the University of Texas, I'm doing a project, we're doing an independent study group on identification card security.
[45:38.900 --> 45:41.240]  He said, oh yeah, what, yeah, you're getting funding from the university?
[45:41.420 --> 45:43.160]  I said, yeah, kinda, you know.
[45:43.760 --> 45:53.780]  And he said, well, um, you know, you know what I do is I, uh, I fraudulently make ID cards for the government and test them out.
[45:54.000 --> 45:57.460]  You know, I have like the license to kill for, you know, the ID industry, kind of.
[45:58.060 --> 45:59.700]  I said, that's like the coolest thing I've ever heard.
[45:59.900 --> 46:00.860]  You know, do you take internships?
[46:03.620 --> 46:06.740]  So we talked for like an hour and he's telling me about laser engraving.
[46:06.740 --> 46:13.220]  And then he starts, and you know, I'll tell you about that in a minute, but he starts to tell me, he's like, so how is, how do they make fake IDs in Texas?
[46:13.380 --> 46:14.900]  And I'm like, oh, I don't know anything about that.
[46:15.720 --> 46:19.500]  And he says, um, oh come on, you probably have friends and stuff.
[46:19.640 --> 46:20.240]  And I'm like, well maybe.
[46:20.500 --> 46:23.000]  He's like, and he starts telling me, well you know what I do.
[46:23.100 --> 46:23.900]  And I'm like, what do you do?
[46:24.260 --> 46:31.640]  He's like, well he starts telling me about how he takes the laminate off the identification card and he replaces the picture and he changes the birth date.
[46:31.780 --> 46:32.960]  You know, this is a pretty common method.
[46:33.120 --> 46:34.380]  And you know, a lot of people know how to do this.
[46:34.940 --> 46:40.140]  Um, but you know, this, I mean, it's something that I've always had trouble with, thinking about.
[46:40.260 --> 46:41.380]  I've always had trouble with thinking about.
[46:42.060 --> 46:52.920]  And, um, and he, and he starts telling me, he's like, well, if you go to Walmart and get the special solvents on the shelf and you let the card sit on the shelf, it tells me the name of the solvent.
[46:53.480 --> 46:55.000]  It begins with an M, I can't remember.
[46:55.380 --> 46:58.440]  Um, yeah, what'd you say?
[46:59.540 --> 47:01.360]  That is Methyl-Hephil-Etone?
[47:01.740 --> 47:02.620]  Methyl-Hephil-Ketone.
[47:02.820 --> 47:03.880]  Yeah, Methyl-Hephil-Ketone.
[47:03.900 --> 47:04.940]  Okay, that sounds very familiar.
[47:05.080 --> 47:07.720]  Well, some auto car stores might have it as well.
[47:07.720 --> 47:07.980]  Okay.
[47:11.000 --> 47:11.360]  Right.
[47:11.560 --> 47:12.640]  That sounds about right.
[47:12.740 --> 47:14.240]  I feel nasty, but I can see it.
[47:14.900 --> 47:20.600]  And he lets the ID sit in there for a while and he's telling me all this stuff and I'm writing it all down and I'm like, yeah, this is awesome.
[47:22.160 --> 47:35.080]  And he's telling me, you know, then I... but the secrets of the whole part, I'm like, you know, is the glue that I use to put the adhesive back on the laminate after I changed everything.
[47:35.180 --> 47:37.420]  So it adheres the laminate back to the Tesla and afterwards.
[47:38.140 --> 47:40.220]  And I'm like, no, dude, you already told me the secret.
[47:40.220 --> 47:42.520]  You know, I know how to put the laminate back on the ID.
[47:44.040 --> 47:46.380]  And there's like a pause and he's like, wait a minute.
[47:46.840 --> 47:48.480]  I shouldn't be telling you any of this.
[47:56.770 --> 47:57.490]  Thank you.
[47:58.790 --> 48:03.370]  So there's like a pause and he's like, were you speaking again?
[48:03.470 --> 48:05.230]  And at this point I was speaking at DEFCON only.
[48:05.290 --> 48:06.970]  I wasn't approved to speak here yet.
[48:07.430 --> 48:12.130]  And he said, that sounds like one of those hardcore political activist conferences.
[48:12.710 --> 48:14.430]  And I said, yeah, that sounds about right.
[48:16.150 --> 48:17.230]  He said, I have to go.
[48:17.430 --> 48:18.530]  And I said, thanks for your time.
[48:21.690 --> 48:26.310]  Anyway, so this guy that I talked to, he represents this company and they do laser engraving.
[48:27.250 --> 48:29.510]  It's something called polycarbonate laser engraving.
[48:30.850 --> 48:32.790]  It's only licensed for government use.
[48:32.790 --> 48:43.290]  And it involves, it's kind of like CD burning in a way that it comes down and it like engraves into three different layers on the polycarbonate material.
[48:43.290 --> 48:47.050]  And it's totally tamper-proof.
[48:48.310 --> 48:51.130]  It's the future of identification card security.
[48:51.330 --> 48:53.890]  And it's, you know, extremely high resolution.
[48:54.270 --> 49:10.420]  And like in the previous slide, it has a GPS self-destruct system, meaning that if it's taken away from the place that it was registered from within like 20 meters, the circuits will fry and the laser will self-destruct, which is pretty awesome.
[49:11.000 --> 49:14.530]  It's only government organizations and only top-level government organizations.
[49:15.360 --> 49:18.060]  You know, your local DPS office cannot have it.
[49:18.640 --> 49:19.920]  You know, it has to be the state level.
[49:20.020 --> 49:22.380]  It has to be, you know, armed guards.
[49:22.500 --> 49:23.240]  It can only be open.
[49:23.460 --> 49:26.020]  Like, there's all these lists that the government, you know, lays out.
[49:26.160 --> 49:29.340]  All of them, I asked him if I could have a copy of some of the polycarbonate.
[49:29.480 --> 49:36.100]  He said, well, we keep those in only two different safes around the world and one of them is not in the United States.
[49:36.100 --> 49:39.740]  So I'd have to get some approval from the university or something.
[49:39.820 --> 49:41.140]  I said, okay, I can set that up.
[49:44.100 --> 49:45.600]  And this is the last slide.
[49:45.740 --> 49:51.800]  It's what a futuristic identification card hopefully will look like if they redo the provisions in the Real ID Act.
[49:52.140 --> 49:59.780]  We have a magnetic stripe, a kinogram, a 3D barcode or 2D barcode, laser engraving, full-color UV imaging.
[50:00.800 --> 50:05.440]  We have black and white graphics and full-color graphics.
[50:05.440 --> 50:16.500]  And polycarbonate, which I have some polycarbonate material, which is not used for making laser engraving, but I do have some polycarbonate material.
[50:16.640 --> 50:19.020]  It costs like $15 or $20 per sheet.
[50:20.480 --> 50:24.120]  So it's what the government considers the most tamper-proof material.
[50:24.120 --> 50:28.400]  And in conclusion, we have ID cards been around about a hundred years.
[50:30.180 --> 50:32.680]  We have valid reasons to want to deploy them.
[50:32.920 --> 50:34.920]  There are increased concerns in illegal immigration.
[50:35.900 --> 50:39.460]  You can become involved in the ID security industry at home.
[50:39.920 --> 50:48.240]  And, of course, all ID cards have strengths and weaknesses, but hopefully emerging technologies will deliver a robust identification system if implemented correctly.
[50:48.740 --> 50:49.520]  So, thank you.
[51:00.740 --> 51:04.900]  We're over, so we don't really have time for questions.
[51:04.960 --> 51:07.680]  So if you just want to approach Doug, that should work just fine.
[51:07.780 --> 51:08.100]  Thank you.
[51:08.280 --> 51:08.780]  Thanks for coming.
[51:10.740 --> 51:11.660]  This is really cool.
[51:25.710 --> 51:32.590]  Just a reminder, if everybody leaves one water bottle or one plastic cup on the ground, it kind of looks like crap by the end of the day.
[51:32.590 --> 51:32.610]  Right?
[51:32.790 --> 51:32.870]  Exactly.
