DNA FINGERPRINTING IN DOCUMENT SECURITY TO COUNTER TERRORISM

澳大利亚每年的犯罪成本超过180亿澳元。其中，洗钱/文件欺诈估计约为45亿美元，全球约为1.5至3万亿美元。虽然许多技术打击文件欺诈（签名，专用油墨和纸张，水印等），但它们受到低特异性或容易复制的严重限制。 另外，DNA指纹识别是高度特异性的（> 100亿比1），现在可以从嵌入纸中的细胞中获得。该项目将使用这些技术来提供明确的文件有效性和真实性，以尽量减少文件欺诈，从而打击非法金融和恐怖主义资金。

Crime costs Australia >$18 billion per year. Of this, money laundering/document fraud is estimated at ~$4.5 billion and ~$1.5 to $3 trillion worldwide. Although many techniques combat document fraud (signatures, specialised inks and paper, watermarking etc) they are severely limited by low specificity or are easy to copy. Alternatively identification by DNA fingerprinting is highly specific (>10 billion to 1) and can now be obtained from cells embedded within paper. This project will use these techniques to provide definitive document validity and authenticity to minimise document fraud and thus counter illicit finance and terrorist funding.
