The Technology Behind ID Scanning
The Role of Barcodes in ID Scanning
Barcodes play a crucial role in ID scanning as they contain encoded information about the individual, including their name, date of birth, and unique identification number. Scanning software reads this information and compares it to government databases to verify the authenticity of the ID.
Magnetic Stripes and ID Verification
Magnetic stripes found on the back of genuine IDs are used to store additional information, enabling a more thorough verification process. Scanners equipped with magnetic stripe readers can extract and cross-reference this data to ensure its consistency with the information encoded on the physical ID.
