Data Storage & Security Systems

Bayer has a 25- year track record in developing intelligent materials for optical data storage. In order to address the demands of the security market, Bayer Innovation has continued to develop a system which allows the storage of personal data for the identification of individuals.

Performance of biometrics authentication based on smart cards is limited by today’s memory chip capacity, being below 1 MB. Future applications call for multiple biometrics images and other sensitive personal data to be stored on ID cards and travel documents. For that purpose, Bayer Innovation is developing a holographic card system called PhenoStor®, composed of writing and reading equipment, interface with biometrics software and a holographic smart card. The use of the proprietary PhenoStor®-Technology for other applications is also under evaluation..
