09:00 – 12:00 Identity: Unmasking Identity Fraud: Physical and Digital Document Threats Through Real Case Studies

Michael Van Gestel – Entrust & Maickel van Oijen – Keesing Technologies – In English

When designing identity documents, how do the priorities differ between the issuer, the manufacturer, and the verifier, and which perspective ultimately determines the document’s effectiveness against fraud?

Identity fraud remains one of the most pervasive threats in today’s interconnected world, exploiting both physical and digital vulnerabilities. This interactive seminar dives deep into the evolving tactics fraudsters use to manipulate identity documents whether forged passports, counterfeit driver’s licenses, or digitally altered credentials and the devastating impact these schemes can have on individuals and organisations.

Through real-world case studies, participants will explore:

Physical Document Fraud: Techniques used in forgery, tampering, and impersonation, and how frontline detection methods can fail.

Digital Identity Fraud: Emerging trends in synthetic identities, deepfakes, and credential theft in online ecosystems.

Hybrid Attacks: How fraudsters combine physical and digital tactics for maximum deception.

The session will feature group discussions, and scenario-based problem-solving.

09:00 – 12:00 Currency: The Banknote Balancing Act – Making Informed Currency Choices

De La Rue Workshop. This will be open to central banks and governments only – In English with Spanish speakers

As central banks you face many important choices when it comes to managing your currency, from design and durability to cost, sustainability and public trust. This interactive workshop explores some of those choices, why they matter, and how data and expert insight can help guide the process. You’ll have the chance to share your thoughts, learn from others, and take part in a practical exercise where you’ll balance competing needs and priorities to make strategic currency decisions.

Computer programs trained to produce works of art or write news stories could replace the work of human artists and journalists. In the same way, these tools are rapidly replacing traditional forgery techniques and putting sophisticated fraud in the hands of less skilled fraudsters.

In this seminar, we will look at case studies of AI-assisted document fraud from remote IDV (Identity Document Verification) and ask what we can do to combat this very real threat in an increasingly virtual world.

13:30 – 16:30 Currency and ID: Forensic Examination of Documents and Banknotes

Juan Manuel Padron Primo, Regula – In Spanish

In Central Banks, forensic examination of documents and banknotes is performed at the expert level, based on fraud cases escalated by commercial banks. Such examinations play a key role in validating findings, supporting further actions, and informing regulatory or supervisory decisions. This session is designed as practical forensic training for central bank experts, focusing on the examination and analysis of document and banknote fraud cases received from 1st level (commercial) banks.

The emphasis is on hands-on forensic methodology, identification of observable indicators, and structured analysis applied to real examination cases.

The seminar provides practical guidance on:

Forensic examination of documents and banknotes escalated by commercial banks, including ID-documents and other relevant financial documents
Identification and documentation of manipulation or inconsistency indicators
Use of Regula 4306 and Regula 4197 as practical tools for expert-level forensic analysis
Typical examination scenarios that support Central Bank decision-making The session equips Central Bank specialists with applied forensic knowledge and practical approaches that can be consistently used across fraud cases received from commercial banks.
