The data carrier is configured to interact with impinging electromagnetic radiation such, that at least one further marking element is generated in the data carrier upon the impingement of the electromagnetic radiation. The security element comprises or consists of the marking element of the connection element and of the further marking element of the data carrier.

Abstract: Provided is a data carrier comprising a card body, wherein the card body is configured to interact with impinging electromagnetic radiation (R) such, that a laser marking (M1) having a first appearance (A1) is generated in the card body in the region of impingement. The data carrier further comprises at least one protection element that is configured to interact with impinging electromagnetic radiation (R) such, that a laser marking (M2) having a second appearance (A2) is generated in the card body, wherein said second appearance (A2) differs from the first appearance (A1).

Abstract: A data carrier with a cover layer, a base layer, and an information layer arrangement. The information layer arrangement includes at least a first information layer and a second information layer arranged after the first information layer along an extension direction. The first information layer and the second information layer have different optical properties, and the information layer arrangement has an unmodified region and at least one modified region, the at least one modified region having at least one recess extending at least partially into the first information layer along the extension direction. The at least one modified region is configured to reflect incident electromagnetic waves whereby a first reflection spectrum is generated, the unmodified region is configured to reflect said incident electromagnetic waves whereby a second reflection spectrum is generated, the first reflection spectrum being different from the second reflection spectrum.

Abstract: A method for producing an authenticity information item of a security element, which serves for checking the correct combination of carrier parts. The security element comprises at least one first partial element having a first partial information item and a second partial element having a second partial information item. The two partial elements are movable into a check position, in which the two partial elements overlay one another. The information items in the check position represent the information item. In an alignment step, the two partial elements are provided with at least one processing means, with which waves the first partial information item and the second partial information item are produced. One of the two partial elements is processed with the waves directly, and the other of the two partial elements is processed through the one partial element.

Abstract: A flexible band configured to be connected to a data page and to a booklet, wherein the flexible band extends along a main direction and includes an upper side and a lower side as well as a plurality of apertures, wherein the flexible band includes at least one security element, wherein the security element is provided by at least one security print pattern; or the security element is provided by at least one security thread; or the security element is provided by at least one security print pattern in combination with at least one security thread.

Abstract: The invention relates to a security element (1) with authentication information (2) for checking the correct combination of two support parts (3, 4, 5), characterized in that the security element (1) comprises at least one first partial element (6) comprising first partial information (7) and a second partial element (8) comprising second partial information (9). The first partial element (6) can be associated with a first support part (3) and the second partial element (8) can be associated with a second support part (4), both partial elements (6, 8) can be moved from a starting position into a checking position in which both partial elements (6, 8) overlap. The first partial information (7) and the second partial information (9) represent the authentication information (2) when in the checking position.
