Problems solved by technology

[0009] These types of identification closures or fixtures present two main disadvantages: firstly, they can be easily reproduced, including identification elements or closures, and besides that there are a large number of these on the market; secondly, the object or protected system may be replaced
In general, the more secure, the higher the cost, which creates a problem: when closures are used in large quantities, and at the same time low costs are required, this will contradict existing technical solutions
[0013] The problem with all of these applications is that the closures can be replicated as such to fraudulently gain access to the system or location, the physical contents of the system or location obtained
The bubble discriminator, although not reproducible, cannot stand alone as a reusable closure within the framework of the invention, since it cannot be proven that the closure has not been opened and reclosed

Embodiment Construction

[0043] The cover 4 includes an authenticator 2 which is transparent and has randomly generated air bubbles 8 . The identification body 2 is fixed on a cover 4 , and the cover 4 has a display window 7 . The main body 3 includes a transparent discriminating body 1, but the bottom is reflective, eg silver-plated. Likewise, in the discriminator 2, the air bubbles 8 are randomly generated. In the main body 3, a concave surface 10 is provided, in which a freely rotatable ball 11 is provided. The authenticator 1 is arranged on the ball 11 and can move freely within the confines of its housing. The fastener 5 secures the safety closure integrally to the object or container to be protected. This fastener 5 can be removed from the closure by means of an intermediate device 12 placed inside the housing 13 . In order to remove the fastener 5 to open the container or to access the protected system, it is necessary to align the channel 14 of the lid 4 with the corresponding part of the ...

Abstract

High security seal that can be reused an indefinite number of times because the authenticating part evolves in a chaotic manner each time the seal is opened and then put back into service. This seal is composed of at least two authenticators (1) and (2) at least one of which is movable with respect to the other into the open position. These two authenticators become fixed and stable in the closed position. In each new fixed position, the two authenticators cooperate to generate a new authenticating feature that is stored in a database in order to be compared during a check. This feature will be cancelled and replaced with another one when said seal is fraudulently or deliberately opened and thus will provide proof that it has been opened.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a high security and reusable closure which can be reused without deterioration or destruction of its mechanism and which can be verified against intrusion. Closures of this type can be used to: control and authenticate intrusions into connected parts or systems, or failed attempts by unauthorized persons to make objects or their contents, or, conversely, to be opened by agents to control and authenticate agents entry of merchants. Background technique [0002] Numerous inspection systems exist for checking intrusions or attempted intrusions into systems or premises protected from unauthorized persons, and for identifying and proving that objects are original. The most commonly used modern methods are: [0003] - Electronic alarms, these systems sound an alarm when the alarm is not pre-stopped by a password or an authorized fingerprint; [0004] - Video surveillance system that can record or control entrances or inter...
