A security label is a concept associated with a resource or bundle that provides specific security metadata about the information to which it is defined. These labels can be used as a security seal. They illustrate either some security information or brand logo. Security labels disintegrate when attempted to remove it and are stronger and durable compared to the conventional labels. They leave a pattern when peeled off and can, thus, protect against any theft. Security labels are widely used in various end-use industries, such as consumer electronics, pharmaceutical, food and beverages, cosmetics, and others. This in turn is expected to augment the growth of the security labels market.
