39 technical and scientific papers on improved optical security for protected documents
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
Who Should Attend
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
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.
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
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!
Who Should Attend
This course will benefit everyone involved in the design,
production and examination of valuable documents and
products, whether management or technical personnel.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thursday 30 January 2014
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.
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.
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 nano-
substrates. The pixelated nano-substrate consists of a large-scale
matrix of periodically repeated NHAs.
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.
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.
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.

A unique conference gives an overview of

what is happening in document security.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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, sub-
wavelength 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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 (HSI-
FL) 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.
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
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.
Conference closes 4.45 pm
