Botosoft Technologies, an award-winning Nigerian security
solutions company, has launched the world’s most advanced anti-counterfeiting
technology, Botoseal(TM).
The new document security solution was unveiled at the 20th
Annual Conference of the United Kingdom National Recognition Information Centre
(UK NARIC) held at Victoria Park Plaza, London, United Kingdom recently.
The launch had in attendance representatives from recruitment
agencies, examination bodies, academics, assessment institutions and security
agencies from across the world.
Speaking at the launch, Agbeyo Tolulope, Chief Executive
Officer, CEO, Botosoft Technologies said, “Botosoft Technologies prides itself
on a culture of making life easy. The company recognises that forgery is
rampant because document verification is difficult; if verifications were made
easy, forgery would be contained and eventually eradicated.”
According to him, with the prevailing problems associated with
document security in organisations, Botosoft in collaboration with HID Global,
a worldwide leader in trusted identity solutions, partnered to develop the
document security solution.
Agbeyo noted that with document control, management, and
issuance being core to every business, Botoseal created a document management
platform that allowed users, through a unified dashboard, to set document
issuance privileges within any organisation, track the usage of a document and
revoke access to its use as necessary.
“The introduction of Botoseal(TM) finally lays to rest the
problem of document forgery, document doctoring, content alteration and
signature falsification. It reverses the norm of easy forgery and difficult
verification of document authenticity. Botoseal(TM) facilitates the secure
signing and seamless verification of documents authenticity with the simple tap
of a smart phone,” he said.
Mark Robinton, Director, Business Development & Strategic
Innovation, Identification Technologies with HID Global said partnering with
Botosoft on the innovative solution is a natural extension of HID Global’s
commitment to add trust to a wide range of new use cases.
Robinton said, “HID Trusted Tag Services, coupled with Botoseal,
ensures the authenticity of legal documents to combat counterfeiting. This
unique solution leverages the cryptographically secure NFC tags and HID Cloud
Authentication from our HID Trusted Services offering to provide peace of mind to
users seeking to validate the authenticity of documents.”
He explained that Botoseal(TM) is a solution with physical
attributes and security features needed to develop and implement a successful
document security strategy in any organization.
“The Botoseal(TM) solution comprises three interconnected
modules of secure holographic seal, Smart-sign application and Verifier
application. It replaces the conventional seal with a chip-embedded holographic
seal, which offers unique security and physical attributes that prevent
replication and hacking. This seal is tamper evident and provides absolute
security on documents.
“Digital signatures are impossible to forge, as opposed to
traditional ink on paper. Botoseal(TM) Smart-sign application allows you to
digitally sign paper documents, thereby protecting your document and also
assuring the recipients of its genuineness. Leveraging on the NFC capabilities
of smartphones, a tap of the phone on the document is all that is required to
verify the document’s authenticity.
“Botoseal(TM) Verifier application does not only seamlessly
verify the authenticity of a document, but also gives the users access to
tamper-evident digital copies of their document on the go. This solution offers
a cost saving and efficient means of getting copies of paper documents, without
the need for printers or photocopiers.
“Botosoft has developed solutions that help solve challenging
problems with the use of cutting edge technologies. Yearly, its mobile
identification and Verification system is used by Africa’s foremost examination
body. The West African Examinations Council securely verifies the identity of
over 1.6 million students sitting for its examinations across 20 thousand
locations annually. Through successful working relationships with our global
partners, we have evolved to become an award-winning leader in security
solutions,” he said.
