DNA FINGERPRINTING IN DOCUMENT SECURITY TO COUNTER TERRORISM

犯罪每年给澳大利亚造成180亿美元的损失。其中，洗钱/文件欺诈估计在全球范围内约为45亿美元和15万亿至3万亿美元。虽然许多技术可以打击文档欺诈(签名、特殊油墨和纸张、水印等)，但它们都严重受限于低特异性或易于复制。 或者，DNA指纹识别具有高度的特异性(100亿比1)，现在可以从嵌入纸张的细胞中获得。该项目将使用这些技术来提供确定的证件有效性和真实性，以最大限度地减少证件欺诈，从而打击非法融资和恐怖主义筹资。

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.
