Australia's Fake Vax Certificates, Blockchain and QR Codes
When Cointelegraph recently shared their view that Fake vax certificates renew calls for blockchain-based solutions in Australia, we were not surprised. Founded in 2013, Cointelegraph is a popular resource covering news on blockchain technology, crypto assets, and emerging fintech trends. They claim that their editorial content is based on in-depth analytics, comprehensive cryptocurrency price charts, and digital currency transformation.

The Changing Face of Document Security...
Globally, millions, perhaps billions of dollars, are lost each year due to fake or tampered documents. These may be phoney degree certificates, shipping documents, trade finance documents, bank account statements, hospital bills, laboratory reports, quality and inspection certificates, insurance policies or any of the thousands of possible documents & use cases.
