Abstract

Watermark, security thread, hologram and Intaglio printing are important features for securing banknotes can be realized by the user senses. The goal of these features is to provide sufficient quality features that can help the public to determine whether or not their banknote is genuine. Recently, due to the development in computer software, laser printers and scanners, counterfeiting has become a vital issue. This research aims to generate evaluation security features, for banknotes model in order to enhance the quality. A Quantitative approach for evaluation the quality of security features banknotes, where the data gathered via a questionnaire using the five-point Likert scale that uses the values: poor, fair, good, very good, and excellent. The proposed framework depends on the utilization of fuzzy logic for classification banknotes genuine or counterfeit. However, fuzzy logic provides useful techniques for dealing with decisions in such environments which contain imprecise and vague values.
