This is the tenth Optical Document Security Conference. From its roots as an SPIE conference until now, it has been the place where the focus is only on optical features that help secure the most valuable documents: banknotes, passports, identity cards, drivers licenses, visas, tax stamps and evidences of birth. And the technical discussions and performance remain most important.
Optical security features, once new and unproven, have now become highly established and sophisticated, so they are expected by the holders of those documents, and by the authorities that have to verify and authenticate them. Many of the advances in our industry were first announced here. The conference has shown new technology, but also improvements in existing technologies that have already found

commercial success, and even shown new uses or applications for more established features. Yet perhaps the most important aspect is the contact between the researchers and scientists in the field, the interchange of ideas, and the sparking of new ways of solving problems. The content of this conference has continued to evolve. For the first time, we have a section on smartphone authentication and examination of secure documents. Major advances in zero-order devices as well as refinements of older devices are presented, as well as hot stamping of Lippmann holograms. And much more. All focused on combating document fraud and product piracy through the research and development of original security features. John Mercer, ODS Chairman

Who Should Attend

The conference attracts around 200 specifiers, designers and producers including: Government issuers of banknotes, ID documents and other secured documents Commercial and private-sector issuers of secured documents Producers and suppliers of security-printed documents and components Forensic document analysts and examiners of travel documents and banknotes Optical scientists, holographers and others interested in the manipulation of light Product security developers in search of new techniques for product protection

Short Course on Optically Variable Devices

Wednesday 29 January 2014, 1.30pm
Optically Variable Devices (OVDs) remain the overt anti-fraud feature of choice for banknotes, passports and ID cards, as they are both attractive to the public, sophisticated anti-fraud features and easy to verify. The counterfeiters and fraudsters are also becoming more sophisticated and well-equipped, so that they are able now to reproduce OVDs that achieve passable product status. So to defeat the fraudsters, it is more important than ever for specifiers, designers, users and examiners of OVDs to understand how they work, how to make them most effective and how to detect fakes when they do appear.

an appreciation of established and proven features as well as the newest developments in OVD technology and the incorporation of covert and forensic examination features. This course surveys a broad variety of OVDs. Extensive image material is presented and the relative security value of different features is assessed with the methods available to professional counterfeiters in mind. The Course will be taught by David Pizzanelli PhD, who has many years experience working with holograms and optical security features and who at times collaborated with Ruud van Renesse. During his 26 year career in holography David had direct experience of designing and mastering OVDs and worked on projects for passports, banknotes and tax stamps, as well as for brand protection. He has since worked as a writer and consultant in optical authentication and security printing, with clients including central banks and other government agencies. He has served as an expert witness in cases relating to counterfeit money. He has also undertaken adversarial analysis of novel security features for banknotes, an experience which he will draw on to make this Short Course informative, interesting and enjoyable!

What You Will Learn

Drawing on and updating material provided by the late Rudolf van Renesse, David Pizzanelli will review the use of OVDs. He will explain the optical science and physics that makes them work, the techniques and technologies of production and how they can be used in different formats to suit different types of secured documents. He will show how optical and material science can be combined to create OVDs that are opaque, translucent or transparent, reflective or transmissive, to be used as patches, stripes, threads or overlays, and how the latest in high-resolution demetallising processes allows OVDs to be more secure and integrated into the design of the document they are protecting. The short course concludes with a guide to the functional characteristics of OVDs to ensure that participants understand how to approach the specification and design of an OVD that is most effective for each particular application. This will include

Who Should Attend

BANKNOTES
8.30 am
The first session covers the latest in banknote protection, with presentations on new pigments and perforation methods, and improved print quality for intaglio printing. The opening paper draws on real world circulation experience and durability testing. Matusalen: The 200 Peso Commemorative Banknote Circulation Trial
Ernesto Gonzlez Candela Banco de Mxico
In 2009, a circulation trial of 200 peso commemorative banknotes was conducted in order to verify previous laboratory estimates of life time, and also to differentiate between four variations of cotton substrate. An image analysis algorithm using Principal Component Analysis was used to consolidate different banknote measurements. This led to the development of a Deterioration Index, which correlated highly with human assessments of the test notes, as well as selected optical security features. Results are presented.

PRINT & PRINTING

10.45 am
Ink on substrate is always the basis, and we present a study on the optical illusions created by security printing, new embedded security techniques, optimising existing security printing, and the application of lasers to interconnect security features. Optical Illusions in Public Security Features 1: The Technology Fundamentals
Kees-Jan Delst JDSU
When cognitive illusion effects emulate a three-dimensional physical structure, the dimensions and shape of this physical structure can be characterised and the effect can be reconstructed to match the optical structure as if it were truly three-dimensional. Such effects can be constructed with reflective surfaces or particles that recreate the optical characteristics of the three-dimensional object. Modelling or describing effects in this way can provide valuable insight for optical feature development and, ultimately, banknote and security document design. Technical descriptions of optical effects, based on different technologies, and representing real or imaginary objects are provided.

Anti-Copy Pigments for Passive Frustration of Scanner/Printer Based Banknote Counterfeiting

Elizabeth Downing and Michael Bortz 3DTL; Johannes Schaede and Bradley Booth KBA Notasys
This paper presents a new concept for a printable anti-copy technology, which provides a high level of deterrence to the use of state-of-the-art desktop scanning and printing technology to counterfeit banknotes. Desktop scanners and photocopiers use high-brightness fluorescent lamps, often combined with reflection optics to illuminate the document, and the spectrum of such lamps is well known. The deterrent concept, based on novel new pigments and inks, relies on defeating the basic photocopy process using passive optical phenomena which prevent an accurate copy from being made.

Optical Illusions in Public Security Features 2: Developments and Applications

Claude-Alain Despland and Mathieu Schmid SICPA
Beyond the attention-grabbing, potentially intriguing nature of optical illusions, and the recognized added-value of high-quality feature design and integration, fundamental optical characteristics such as lightness, chroma, hue, contrast, and desirable or unwanted changes brought upon these characteristics remain essential elements in establishing the strength of optical features. For application on a banknote or other security document, a technical means must exist to fabricate such optical structures at high speed in an industrial environment, and the feature must withstand environmental conditions in circulation. Examples of relevant structures will be presented and their relative merits discussed.

Next Generation Microperforation

Dieter Sauter Orell Fssli
Dating back to the early 1990s, Micro-Perf holes have become accepted security features for banknotes. Micro-Perf was augmented some years ago by Twin-Perf, which allows variable images based on angularity to be produced. Now comes Star Perf, which introduces variable shape and size holes, and further can be detected by a mobile phone app.

Attractive Public Security Features by Amplifying Precise Simultan Print

Johannes Schaede, Alexander Fellmann and Jean-Francois Forresti KBA Notasys
This paper describes a challenge to the traditional design methods for the established banknote printing processes (such as SIMULTAN) to create new printed feature platforms. Design principles were studied, to ascertain what differentiates genuine and counterfeit without magnification. The way to do this is to amplify the precision in such a way that deviations from the original process become evident in that the feature is incomplete or not properly functional in a digital or other commercial imitation. Use of UV images takes advantage of the presence of UV lamps for interrogation in commercial establishments.

New Strategies in Image Processing for Standardized Intaglio Quality Analysis in the Printing Process
Jrg Hofmann, Thomas Trke and Daniel Chassot KBA NotaSys SA; Eugen Gillich, Helene Drksen and Volker Lohweg Institute IndustrialIT, Ostwestfalen Lippe University of Applied Sciences
Recent ECB studies indicate that the first sense for personal banknote authentication is feel, which arises from the traditional intaglio printing process. Inhomogeneous aspects inherent in intaglio printing, such as line discontinuities from the engravers art, and feathering from too much ink or too high a plate printing pressure, make automated measurements difficult. A new image processing system is proposed, based on Statistical Process Control, and centered on specific Regions of Interest. The various RoIs are scored, giving a numeric evaluation of intaglio print quality, which may be used to raise intaglio quality in circulating notes and lead to future automated applications.

Laser Technology: Innovative Pathways to Combine Security Features from Substrate and Print
Christoph Mengel Giesecke & Devrient GmbH
Traditional security features are based on three factors: material, technology and design. This presentation demonstrates a new route to combine and thus integrate security features. This approach offers novel solutions using lasers as an excellent tool for such a bridging technology because of their potential to physically or chemically interact with matter - such as substrates, foils or inks - in a non-impact, and if requested in an individualized manner.

NEW APPROACHES TO OVDS
1.45 pm
The core of the conference features presentations on windowed security documents, optically variable mirror pigments, improvements in moir magnifiers and Floating Image technology, plus three papers on plasmons and their use in OVDs. Combination of Micro-mirrors and Thin Film Color Shift
Christian Fuhse Papierfabrik Louisenthal GmbH
Micro-mirrors in combination with color shifting thin film devices provide striking visual effects. One example of this feature is Rolling Star security thread. In present forms, dynamic effects, like moving bars, are realized. A three layer coating consisting of an absorber, a dielectric layer and a reflector layer, provides bright saturated colors and a color shift in reflected light when tilted. Incorporation in see-through applications provides the additional feature of different colors in reflection and transmission.

A Floating Image Based Approach for Preventing Alteration of PC Documents

Christopher Haas, Kui Chen-Ho, Duane Fansler, Travis Potts, Michael Fussy and Douglas Dunn 3M
The success of polycarbonate identification documents has generated a number of counterfeit attacks against the documents, including laminate overlayers, reimaging by second pass laser engraving, and reverse side milling and data replacement. Extensions of the Floating Image technology using either customized colour images, or black personalized images are shown. In addition, a special tape that selectively disables the Floating Image lens optics, enabling conventional personalization, is shown.

Plasmon Science for a Novel Metallic Glance with a Dramatic and Azimuthal Color Shift
Jean-Sauvage Vincent and Valery Petiton Hologram Industries S.A.
At the 2012 conference, HI disclosed a see-through component using recently established rules of Extraordinary Optical Transmission (EOT) based on Long Range Plasmon Mode resonance. Since then, a sustained program has been completed to achieve successful production of EOT see-through components applied on tangible windowed secured documents. Gratings parameters combined with accurate controls of material layers thickness and composition are key factors to get efficient optical effects.

OVD Features for a Security Document with a Window

Wayne Tompkin, John Peters and Harald Walter OVD Kinegram AG
The paper will present the use of Diffractive Optically Variable Image Devices (DOVIDs) in transparent windows of security documents, such as identity cards, passports and banknotes. DOVIDs may be symmetric, that is the same image viewed from either side, or may show different images from side to side. Addition of transmitted light viewing allows more variations. More exotic variations are possible, including second line features, and visible protection of the electronic chip in eDocuments. In summary, windows in security documents are an excellent platform for the incorporation of DOVIDs enabling novel optical features which are easy to verify, yet hard to copy.

Combinatory Nanostructure Arrays for Multi-Faceted, Multi-Level Security OVDs

Clint Landrock, Yindar Chuo and Badr Omrane NanoTech Security Corp.
The next generation of nano-optics technology imposes a number of novel combinatory arrays beyond earlier rudimentary designs. At the most fundamental level, the sub-wavelength dimension of our nanohole structures leads to high-intensity specific diffractive colours that can be supplemented by plasmonic resonance. In this work, we present the unique modeling, design, and implementation of these novel combinatory nanostructure arrays to produce vibrant high definition OVDs.

Production of Color Photos on Pixelated Plasmonic NanoSubstrates

H. Jiang and M. Najiminaini - Simon Fraser University; B. Kaminska Simon Fraser University/Nanotech Security Corp
Plasmonic nano-structures can produce intense tunable colours owing to surface plasmons at metal surface. Metal nanohole arrays (NHAs) have been implemented as high-performance colour filters in imaging systems. This technology has advantages that include brilliant angle-dependent colours without strong rainbow effects (a feature distinctive from holograms), roll-to-roll large-scale fabrication and customizable pattern productions, and holds the promise to effectively defend security documents against counterfeiting. In this work, we present an approach to rapidly produce colour photos on pixelated plasmonic nanosubstrates. The pixelated nano-substrate consists of a large-scale matrix of periodically repeated NHAs.

A unique conference gives an overview of what is happening in document security.

Advances in Design Techniques and Optical Effects for Moir Magnifiers

Samuel Cape Crane Micro Optic Solutions
MOTION is well established in banknote security applications, usually as a windowed thread. Whats next? Extension of use requires developments in technology, as well as design interaction. Larger format use, compatibility with different personalization techniques, and selective visual activity all challenge the interaction of design and science to optimize results. MOTION comes of age.

DIFFRACTIVE OVDS
8.30 am
Diffractive OVDs are well-established but still developing, as shown by this session which presents novel and ground-breaking advances in hot stampable Lippmann holograms, non-rainbow holograms, novel demetalisation techniques, zero-order gratings, and diffractive optical elements. Lippmann Hologram Spot Transfer Foils for High Security Application
Koji Eto Dai Nippon Printing Co. Ltd
Lippmann holograms, also called volume holograms, develop their security image within the layer, unlike embossed holograms. Material advances have enabled market enhancement, but one process, spot transfer hot stamping foils, had remained elusive. No more, as thinner, brighter Lippmann holograms are now a reality. As a bonus, chemical and physical durability show high environmental durability.

SMARTPHONE AUTHENTICATION
11.00 am
In a debut session topic, we present three aspects of the use of smartphones in the authentication of secure documents.

Generation of Robust Optical Paths - Color Processing for Mobile Devices

Eugen Gillich, Helene Dorksen and Volker Lohweg inIT Institute IndustrialIT, Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences.
Smart phones are not optimized for document analysis, particularly in regards the automatic white balance, or if the image is primarily of a single color. The subject approach involves color space mapping in image pre-processing; and an analysis of measurements in the feature analysis space in image recognition and classification. If the images are properly pre-processed and classified, this approach significantly improves authentication and detection of objects.

A Phased Array Filtering Device for an Effective and Novel Optical Security Feature
Paul Dunn, Robert Renton, Andrew Rowe and David Shemo OpSec Security
This paper introduces a novel approach to controlling the spectral colours seen in an OVD while retaining structural control of the microscopic grooves commensurate with manufacturing. It will describe the development of complex diffractive structures that utilise this interference effect and in combination create an OVD that produces defined and controllable colours that are stable, i.e. non-rainbow, and are therefore clearly differentiated from conventional holograms.

Graphical Security Feature to be Identified with the Help of a Smart Phone

Barna Barabas Jura
Can an application be developed that will detect forgeries using a smartphone? To study this problem, printing processes, image capture technologies and known forgeries were studied. Simplifying assumptions were made and viewing conditions optimized. Special user-defined patterns offer the best conditions for success.

Multi-Functional Diffractive Optical Elements

Michael Hardwick Innovia Security
Diffractive Optical Elements (DOEs) bend and shape light, and have become used as secure document elements. DOEs have been used in polymer banknotes since 1999. The original binary DOE has given way to five different DOE variants that produce different combinations of image and color variance, as well as multiple images in visible and infrared, and other combinations. These DOEs are resistant to both copying and reorigination.

Counterfeit Detection by Image Analysis for Mobile Phones

Marcel van der Woude De Nederlandsche Bank
This presentation describes a method for detecting counterfeit notes for the existing first and second series of Euro banknotes. Our research focused on images of genuine and counterfeit notes that are obtained with the built-in camera of smartphones. We apply a modern technique referred to as keypoint detection to find relevant markers on the banknote image, after which we apply a correlation analysis to identify counterfeits.

Novel Demetallization Process and its Innovative Effects in OVDs

Satoshi Harada Toppan Printing Co.
Demetallization is realized by placing bump geometry and relief structures for OVD artwork on the same planar surface without any overlap. Electron Beam (EB) lithography as used in semiconductor manufacturing is used to combine the design elements in one single process. One advantage of this discontinuous demetallization is that resultant images do not cause problems with electronic communication to the IC chip found in most modern passports and other identity documents.

Rudolf van Renesse,

1940 - 2011 Author of Optical Document Security and founder-chairman of the ODS Conference.

Zero-Order Diffractive Color Shift Feature in Reflection and Transmission

Harald Walter, Sebastian Mader and Wayne Tompkin OVD Kinegram AG
Sub-wavelength gratings typically have periods below 450 nm and are known as zero-order gratings since they do not diffract light into non-zero diffraction orders when illuminated at normal incidence. These known zero-order features show a color shift in reflection when they are rotated by 90 degrees. In general, subwavelength gratings are increasingly used today due to the fact that they are resilient against re-origination with technologies like dot-matrix or Kinemax. Novel color effects for OVDs in security documents are demonstrated, based on metallic, two-dimensional subwavelength gratings.

John Mercer, AJW Inc (USA) Chairman of the ODS Conference.

AUTHENTICATION & ExAMINATION
1.45 pm
This final session is on the critical topic of authentication and examination. It includes coverage of an active method to defeat automated border crossing devices, the use of polarized optical scattering to detect pigments, a report on fraud attacks on OVDs, and finishes with a report on first experiences with the new US $100 note, released a few months previously. Active Display Attack on Automated Security Document Readers
Michael Gschwandtner, Svorad tolc and Andreas Vrabl Austrian Institute of Technology
In a typical Automated Border Control (ABC) gate, checks are performed on both the person, and the attributes of the document. State-of-the-art ABC readers read in the visible, the infrared and ultraviolet, and together with the difficulty of completely counterfeiting a document in all its aspects, may be regarded as generally secure. However, the Active Display Attack overrides the ABC reader detectors, and can fool the optical checks which assume that all light is passively generated, and not actively generated. A potent counter measure is proposed that can mitigate the vulnerability posed by an Active Display Attack. text by a simple font modification of parts of letters. This modification is usually not visible. By copying a document, the seals are partly destroyed and a content-readout is not possible.

Registration Methods for Geometric Distortions in Captured Images of Security Documents by Full Spectrum Marking
Hans Oltmans Joh. Ensched Security Print
High-speed automatic detection of digital watermarks relies on the ability to recognize the marking signal under practical circumstances. Still image digital watermarks, such as Full Spectrum image coding, may suffer from information loss during the capturing process it may be affected by the properties of the document and the reader, so that it is shifted, skewed, scaled, cropped and deformed with respect to the original image. The process that makes it possible to invert the distortion, or at least compensate for it, is known as registration. The described methods are applicable to a broad class of secure frequency domain digital watermarks.

Counterfeiting of the New Redesigned $100 Banknote

Kerre Corbin, US Secret Service
Not a how-to manual or a historical perspective, this is a real time look at the first experiences in the debut of the latest version of a world currency note the US $100, following its launch in October 2013. Are there enough new features, or too many? Are people confused or enlightened? How will the fraudsters simulate the security features, or will they ignore them? Be among the first to learn the early experiences of a major banknote issuance event.

Methods of Fraud Related to Optically Variable Devices Found in Domestic and International Travel and Identity Documents
Robin Tran and Matthew Heyne ICE Homeland Security Investigation (HIS)
The Homeland Security Investigations Forensic Laboratory (HSIFL) frequently examines fraudulent travel and identity documents containing simulated security features. Generally, optically variable devices are strong security features because they are simple to verify, but difficult to effectively counterfeit without expensive equipment. This presentation will provide real world examples of fraudulent OVDs. It will focus mainly on the detection of counterfeit OVDs as opposed to the methods of production to give a better understanding of the various methods used by counterfeiters to simulate them and how they are detected in actual casework.

Conference closes 4.45 pm

CONFERENCE DINNER
Thursday 30 January 7.00 - 10.00 pm
The poster papers, table-top exhibition and buffet dinner is always a popular and stimulating event. This provides all conference presenters and others developing and/or producing optical security products with the opportunity to show their results to this specialist and decision-making group in an informal setting. Poster papers complement the conference presentations, with information on additional projects that repay leisurely study over dinner. This evening is also an unrivalled networking session. Meet old friends, make new ones and establish new development or business partners.

Polarized Optical Scattering as a Powerful Tool for Automated Verification of Security Materials Based on Effect Pigments
Olga Kulikovska Innovations, Bundesdruckerei GmbH
Optical effect materials have been well established for banknotes and document security applications. Many of them, e.g. optically variable inks or effect pigments, belong to the first level security features. The multi-component character of the materials and the presence of microstructural order offer additional possibilities of verification beyond the visual inspection, based on effect pigments for detection by sensors, machines and automated systems, such as polarized optical scattering. This optical polarization behavior is characteristic to the material and may be assigned to the presence of the effect pigments, ultimately allowing relatively simple, fast and unambiguous verification.

MicroIDENT A System for Simple Coding and Authentication of Documents

Volker Lohweg and Jan Friedrich Ehlenbrker Institute IndustrialIT, Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences
There is a need for easy-to-generate and easy-to-detect mechanisms for document protection seals which are found on clearance papers, certificates, and especially office documents printed on off-the-shelf printers. The concept of microIDENT is based on local tiny coded seals which are scattered across a printed text. Moreover, microIDENT can be hidden in a standard
