ODDS Conference Hits the Phygital Nerve

The programme for the second Optical and Digital Document Security (ODDS) conference is now available, demonstrating the importance of this event in bringing together people involved in developing digital systems for identity and financial transactions with the more traditional security document community. The conference will be on 17-19 April 2023 in Prague, Czech Republic.

The first ODDS conference, in 2022, showed that there is a need for this event as it is the only one presenting the developments at the interface between the physical and digital worlds of financial transaction and personal identity security. The 2023 conference opens with a session which examines ‘phygital’ features. Paper and plastic currency and identity cards are still in everyday use, albeit they now often interact with a digital record, so this first session sets out innovative ways of making those links, which are becoming the key nerve in securing the protection of our financial transactions and proofs of identity.
