ODDS Continues Big Debate – The Transition from Physical to Digital

The programme for the third Optical and Digital Document Security™ (ODDS) conference is now available.

The conference will continue the debate around physical, digital and virtual security documents, against a backdrop of rapid advances in game-changing technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing.

ODDS 2024 will feature two half-day seminars, 30 papers, and a panel discussion, presented by a range of organisations active in the optical and digital security field. These include security document producers, younger, specialist companies establishing their role, academic and other research organisations, and start-ups.

One of the seminars explains the game- changing developments of quantum computing and AI, and considers what these might mean for digital and optical document security. The seminar has three parts: Dr Volker Lohweg of the Institute Industrial IT of the Technische Hochschule OWL will give an overview of AI, Dr Anke Ginter of Bundesdruckerei will then explain quantum computing, and Ian Lancaster, ODDS Programme Director, will pull all this together and consider the implications for optical and digital document security.
