The event has met my expectations and has even provided me with very useful information to be more careful in the implementation of security in the Tax Department. It is also a good event to meet interesting suppliers in the security industry.

About High Security Printing Latin America

The Regional Forum for Secure Document Technologies

The latest technologies and techniques in the production and issue of banknotes, ePassports, ID cards, visas and other secure documents across Latin America.

The High Security Printing™ conferences are annual events with a specficially regional focus.  They cover government-specified and issued documents,including currency, fiduciary documents, excise stamps, ID cards, e-passports, visas, vehicle documents and licences, with a particular emphasis on banknotes and emerging technologies for ID and travel documents. Running in tandem with each event is a trade exhibition of 30-40 companies supplying technologies and systems for these sectors.

High Security Printing Asia has been held each year since 2002, and the High Security Printing™ EMEA since 2004.

Latin America, however,  is growing in importance – not just as a future economic powerhouse but, in the context of government documents, as a market for high security printing. Many of the countries are becoming key innovators in  specification, procurement and distribution – serving not only their own growing economies but  the wider region too. In recognition of this importance, Reconnaissance held the High Security Printing™ Latin America conference in July 2012 – the first ever event of its kind to address the needs, issues, challenges and opportunities for specifiers and producers of government documents  in the region and annually since then.

Why you Should Attend?

The success of the High Security Printing™ Conferences is based on being:

  • Regional: Convenient and accessible, with many of the topics specific to the issues and challenges of the region itself.
  • Technical: A particular emphasis is placed on innovative and emerging technologies for document protection, reinforced by the two workshops, which delve much deeper into their specific subjects to give a practical, hands-on and detailed understanding.
  • Medium-sized: With around 250-300 delegates and a trade show of 35 or so exhibitors, the conference is sufficiently intimate that you can easily meet the people you plan to while also making new contacts and finding new products and opportunities.
  • Value for Money: Financially-attractive, offering value for all categories – sponsors, exhibitors, and delegates – with additionally special rates for government and regional delegates.

Michael van Gestel & Rizlane Chertah, 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 fraudstershave 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.

 

13:30 – 17:00 – Fighting Counterfeiting and Adulteration of Documents and Banknotes

Juan Manuel Padron Primo & Carla Guardia, Regula

This session will cover and introduction to Forensic Sciences and classification of research items related to documents and bills, along with a study of the specialty of criminalistics in documents and bills.

The seminar will share practical cases of authenticity or originality, to establish the origin of the document, resolved through its protocol and validation with forensic technology. Ink analysis (ink discrimination, blank signature abuse and relative dating), to establish alterations in the document, resolved through its protocol and validation with forensic technology and handwriting analysis, to establish the graphic origin of manuscripts, rubrics or signatures in the document, resolved through its protocol and validation with forensic technology.
