Unveiling the Future of Optical Document Security: ODDS 2024

The Optical & Digital Document Security™ Conference (ODDS) 2024, set to take place in Lisbon, Portugal 8-10 April, promises an in depth look into the latest advancements in optical and digital document security.

For nearly three decades, ODDS has been at the forefront of addressing the intricate challenges posed by document security using optical and digital technologies. This year’s event, organised by Reconnaissance, builds on the rich heritage of conferences in the field held since 1996.

Among the highlights are the technical papers that will shed light on ground- breaking developments in optical document security.

One such paper, titled ‘Development of Novel Overt Security Features for ID Documents,’ presents a new optically variable device (OVD) designed to thwart counterfeiting and tampering of identity documents like passports and driving licences. Presented by Keitaro Sugihara of TOPPAN Digital Inc, this paper will showcase an OVD with enhanced authentication functions, ensuring quick and straightforward verification.
