09:00 – 12:30 Currency – DOVIDS for Currency – Technologies, Market Dynamics and Recent Developments
Paul Dunn & Micaal Sidorov, International Hologram Manufacturers Association
Diffractive optically variable image devices (DOVID) of which holograms are a specific type have been used for the protection of banknotes for over three decades now. They were first introduced as an anti-copying feature and few people in the highly conservative banknote industry thought that their use would ever catch on. The subsequent take-up was slow – due not just to the banknote community’s traditional caution over an unproven technology coupled with the long gestation period for new banknote features, but also the limited availability of suppliers and application equipment, and the expense.
This seminar will cover all aspects including material science, technologies, production, application, history, design and features of diffractive security foils on banknotes. It will present an overview of the technologies, industry and the latest trends and developments driving it. It will also consider the various requirements and challenges this sector is facing, particularly from alternative optically variable products. Not least the seminar will cover counterfeiting – or more precisely, how DOVIDs can prevent it.
The seminar will be delivered on behalf of International Hologram Manufactures Association (IHMA), a non-profit organisation representing around 80 of the world’s leading hologram manufacturers whose mission is to support, set standard and advance holographic technology for authentication of products and documents and other fields of application.
09:00 – 12:30 Identity – Document Fraud in an Online Environment – the Challenges of Digital ID Verification
Michael van Gestel, Onfido (UK)
With the digital revolution of the 21st century, millennials, governments, and corporations have increasing requirements for self-service, quick and reliable document authentication remotely and at scale. The revolution is upon us and fraudsters have access to better technology, leaked data and a vast library of faces from social media.
This workshop will focus on the challenges global organisations deal with when trying to stop targeted attacks in a document-not-present environment.
During this interactive workshop we will share some of the latest fraud rings we have detected and the results of our research that can help you make better informed decisions regarding document authenticity in an online environment.
Afternoon Tour – Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi
On the afternoon of Tuesday 7th March delegates will be offered the opportunity to attend a tour to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi.
This is the largest mosque in the UAE and can hold up to 40,000 worshippers and 15,000 visitors. The mosque was commissioned by, and named after, the first president of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Respectful clothing is a requirement for visitors to enter Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
