Optical & Digital Document Security
The Technical Conference for Physical,
Digital and Virtual Document Security
How do we ensure that our financial transactions and identity verification conducted on a smartphone, tablet or other computer are as secure as they have been using banknotes and identity documents respectively.
Do those physical secured documents have a role in this new world? Will there be co-existence or will they be replaced?
These are the underlying issues to be addressed at the Optical & Digital Document Security Conference, an event that brings together two very successful technical conferences to cover the key topics that have become more pressing in our digital age.
The Optical Document Security Conference, held every two years since 1996, is established as a highly-respected technical conference, while Digital Document Security, a spin-off event, was quickly recognised as an essential bridge between the physical and digital “document” security worlds. In combining the two events, Reconnaissance is recognising the fact of the digitisation of what have traditionally been paper or polymer documents, with the need to maintain the highest levels of security in the digital domain as have been achieved in the physical domain.
ODDS will be the platform to bring together the thousand-year experience of the banknote and ID document world with the fast-moving field of digital financial transactions, virtual ID and digital identity verification. People involved in the digital transaction, identity and authentication communities and specifiers, designers, producers and issuers of secure documents will find ODDS a valuable forum to explain, learn, network and explore possibilities.
The Optical & Digital Document Security Conference is a forum to meet, share ideas and establish mutual understanding across the digital and physical document security domains.
So we recommend that you attend the Conference if you are:
- Involved with the design, production or examination of any government-issued security document, whether physical or digital, including financial, tax and identity documents
- Or similarly involved with private sector transaction facilitation, payment apps, credit cards, online ordering and payment, identity cards, transport or event ticketing
- A specifier, developer, designer or producer of physical security features or digital security equipment or software
- a researcher or academic looking into security issues for physical or digital approaches;
- a researcher or developer in the security component, biometrics or security printing fields
- a producer or designer of systems and equipment for the production, personalisation, issuance or reading of secure documents and/or data
- involved in researching or developing methods for the human interaction with physical secured documents or digital ID or transaction systems
- or involved in any other way with security systems or secured documents.
