Botoseal Provides Solution To Document Forgery
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 19 (Bernama) -- The recent introduction of Botoseal, the world's most advanced anti-counterfeiting technology by Botosoft Technologies Ltd, finally lays to rest the problem of document forgery and doctoring, content alteration and signature falsification.
"It reverses the norm of easy forgery and difficult verification of document authenticity.
"The company recognises that forgery is rampant because document verification is difficult. If verifications were made easy, forgery would be contained and eventually eradicated," said Chief Executive Officer, Agbeyo Tolulope in a statement here today.
Botoseal facilitates the secure signing and verification of documents authenticity with a tap on a smartphone.
It also features a document management platform, which allow users to set document issuance privileges within any organisation, track usage and revoke access to its use as necessary.
The Botoseal solution comprises three interconnected modules of secure holographic seal, Smartsign application and Verifier application.
It replaces the conventional seal with a chip-embedded holographic seal, offering unique security and physical attributes that prevent replication and hacking.
This seal is tamper-evident and provides absolute security on documents.
Botosoft Technologies, a security solutions company, said the Smartsign application allows the signing of digital documents, while the Verifier, can verify document authenticity, as well as give users access to tamper-evident digital copies of documents.
This solution offers a cost-saving and efficient means of getting copies of paper documents, without the need for printers or photocopiers.
Botoseal was officially launched at the 20th Annual Conference of the United Kingdom National Recognition Information Centre in November.
It was developed in partnership with HID Global, a world leader in trusted identity solutions.

TOSHIBA LAUNCHES 40V/45V N-CHANNEL POWER MOSFET WITH INDUSTRY'S LEADING-CLASS LOW ON-RESISTANCE
Expands line-up of low-voltage “U-MOS IX-H Series” MOSFETs
TOKYO, Dec 9 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Corporation’s (TOKYO:6502) Storage & Electronic Devices Solutions Company today expanded its “U-MOS IX-H Series” of low-voltage N-channel power MOSFETs with new 40V and 45V products delivering industry leading-class[1] low on-resistance and high-speed performance. The new products —nine 40V and five 45V versions—are designed for industrial and consumer applications, including high-efficiency DC-DC converters, high-efficiency AC-DC converters, power supplies and motor drives. Shipments start today.
The new MOSFETs utilize Toshiba’s latest generation low-voltage trench structure U-MOS IX-H process to achieve the industry’s leading-class[1] low on-resistance and high-speed performance. The new structure lowers the performance index for “RDS(ON) * Qsw”[2], improving switching applications to a level surpassing current Toshiba products[3]. Output loss is improved by the reduction of output charge, which can contribute to higher set efficiency. Furthermore, the cell structures used in the new MOSFETs are optimized to suppress spike voltage and ringing during switching, which can contribute to lowering set EMI. |

PRIMARY SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS EDUCATORS' TRAINING FOR AFRICAN COUNTRIES
- Quality Education Through Hands-on Training -
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 30 (Bernama) -- Providing quality education is one of major challenges in Africa. The 6th Tokyo International Conference for African Development (TICAD VI) held at Nairobi, Kenya in this August has affirmed this agenda. Among others, mathematics and science education leads to human resource development for industry. In order to teach abstract concepts of the subject, a shift should take place from knowledge-crammed lessons to problem solving method which students acquire skills of finding and solving problems by themselves.
In August 2016, SEAMEO-RECSAM*, a regional center based in Penang City of Malaysia, has implemented a three-week training course on primary science and mathematics educators’ training for African countries. The training course was attended by twenty four participants from six countries, namely Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Swaziland, Uganda, and Zambia, who were leading teachers, trainers and curriculum developers in respective countries.
The training provided a valuable opportunity for the participants: up-to-date and applicable teaching technique and try-out to Malaysian primary students in English. Meantime, a JICA senior volunteer was attached to RECSAM as Specialist for Science Education for two years, shared his expertise on non-ICT instructional materials for science teaching, which also attracted a great of interest from the participants.
