With further development of reform and opening-up, social insurance has entered common people’s families, becoming important social insurance system which safeguards social stability and guarantees people’s health. But since China is still a developing country, its legal system is not sound yet, and there are various means of cheating in insurance. These illegal activities waste a lot of national tax revenue, and also become big hidden danger which affects sound development of social insurance.
Examples of cheating in insurance
Cheating in insurance caused by those who are not professional certificate inspection personnel
In places like hospitals where social insurance cards are used, it is those who are not professional certificate inspection personnel that are engaged in inspection work of social insurance. It’s difficult to avoid cheating activities in insurance by recognizing photos, and moreover, the opportunities of conflict between patients and them increase.
Cheating in insurance caused by those of dereliction of duty
Cheating in insurance caused by counterfeiting social insurance cards
The existing social insurance cards don’t have effective means of anti-fake, and therefore, how to provide a new generation anti-fake card is also a major problem that social insurance is faced with.
The existing means of cracking down is insufficient
Aiming at various activities of cheating in insurance, social insurance departments have adopted various means of cracking down, including on-the-spot check on patients. However, with limited human power of social insurance personnel, truly effective means of cracking down have to depend on high technology. Is there such high technology? Yes, there is, that is two dimensional bar code technology.
Two dimensional bar code social insurance anti-fake application solution
It is a tough problem how to judge whether the user of social insurance card is the owner of it. The photo combined with fingerprint’s physiological characteristics of the card holder should be one of the best judging criteria. Two dimensional bar codes are good fingerprint carrier with anti-fake characteristics, so solving social insurance anti-fake problems lies in printing two dimensional bar codes which include fingerprint information on social insurance card.
Present status of two dimensional bar codes used in certificates
Although it is a new application in China to use two dimensional bar codes as anti-fake means of certificates, the technology has been extremely widely used abroad. Now there are several hundred million various certificates which use two dimensional bar codes, and the following are only some of the typical cases:
Hong Kong Passport
ID cards of Egypt
ID cards of Philippines
Driving license of dozens of countries

Two dimensional bar codes adopt complicated error correction technology, even though they suffer from great damage, stored information of two dimensional bar codes can still be read without any error.
