By combining it with watermarking technology, the thread can be made to surface periodically on one side only. This is known as windowed thread and further increases the counterfeit resistance of the banknote paper. This process was invented by Portals, part of the <a href="/wiki/De_La_Rue" title="De La Rue">De La Rue</a> group in the UK. Other related methods include watermarking to reduce the number of corner folds by strengthening this part of the note.

The technology is based on identifiable banknotes—that could be an RFID chip or a barcode—and connects to a digital security system to verify the validity of the banknote. The company claims that the banknotes are <a href="/wiki/Forgery" title="Forgery">unforgeable</a> and contribute to solving cash-related problems as well as fighting crime and terrorism.
