Time to Submit Your Paper for ODDS 2024

The Optical & Digital Document Security™ (ODDS) conference – the technical event for physical, digital and virtual document security – is now calling for papers.

ODDS is unique in that it brings together two communities – secured documents, and digital identity and transactions – to share ideas, information and concerns, as society becomes ever more virtual and digital.

Are we more vulnerable to identity and financial theft in this new virtual environment than in the world of banknotes, identity cards and passports? How do we ensure comparable levels of security and protection in both domains? And how do the worlds of physical and digital documents interact and work together; indeed, do they need to? What is the function of governments and central banks when global technology companies are so powerful? And how will artificial intelligence affect this field?

These questions form the backbone of ODDS. The conference is the opportunity to sense-check your thinking, approach and technologies, as well as showcase your solutions to the technical communities focused on securing our money, our transactions and our personally identifiable information.

Reconnaissance International, the organiser of the conference, therefore invites you to submit your proposals for presentations on the critical issue of document identity and transaction security, in this era where physical, digital and virtual worlds co-exist.

If you are involved in the digital transaction, identity and authentication communities or the physical secured document field, whether commercially, in academia or government, then you will find ODDS a valuable forum to explain, share, learn, network and explore possibilities.

Presentation proposal requirements

Proposals should be submitted as a 400-word summary of your paper, with an additional 150-word description of the author(s) and their qualifications for presenting this paper (both documents must be in English).

Submit your proposal through the ODDS website, by 31 October 2023, for consideration by the programme committee. You will be notified if your presentation has been selected by the committee, in December 2023.

ODDS takes place from 8-10 April 2024 in Lisbon, Portugal.
