Nassau – a Spectacular Setting for HSP Latin America 2023

HSP LATAM 05 06 23 001

Nassau, the Bahamas was the spectacular setting for the 10th HSP (High Security Printing) Latin America conference, which welcomed over 240 delegates from 118 organisations and 38 countries, over half from Latin America and the Caribbean.

As seen in many previous years, Latin America is an attractive and evolving market with many developments in both currency and identity documents along the coastlines of the Caribbean and Pacific.

Following the completion of the Bahamas’ new CRISP Evolution series back in 2021, Nassau seemed like the natural choice to locate this year’s HSP Latin America. Indeed, the event was originally scheduled to take place two years ago, to coincide with the completion, until COVID got in the way. 

The conference opened with two seminars, one of which was run by identity verification solutions provider Onfido focusing on document fraud in an online environment and the challenges organisations deal with when trying to authenticate documents remotely.

The second seminar, titled ‘Fighting Counterfeiting and Adulteration of Documents and Banknotes’, was run by Regula Forensics and provided an introduction to forensic sciences and the classification of research items related to documents and currency, along with a study of the specialty of criminalistics in this field. 

HSP LATAM 06 06 23 030

The main programme was opened by Derek Rolle, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of the Bahamas (CBB), welcoming delegates and providing an introduction to the country and its environment, and the role of the central bank in its economy.

Presentations followed from the CBB on highlights of its currency programme and changes across the most recent family of banknotes, and from  Landqart (the substrate supplier for the higher denominations  and platinum sponsor for the event)  on durability and creativity when developing new note series and how it pushed the technological boundaries for the new Bahamian series. The Brazilian Ministry of Interior closed the session with a presentation on the new Brazilian ID documents.

The programme then split into separate currency and ID tracks, with the currency sessions covering Regional Currency Developments, Production and Print, Substrates and Features and Sustainability and the Environment.

In the first currency track, delegates heard from the Central Bank of Bolivia on how its new series has brought down counterfeiting levels and from the Bank of Mexico on ‘what comes next’, specifically the work undertaken after issuing the new G series (which it completed in 2021). The Bank is now focusing on the automation of counterfeit analysis and the study of raw materials, features and technologies through its Methodology for the Analysis of Security Features, or MEAS (which it described in detail). This methodology is being applied to the development of a contingency feature (a micro-optics stripe), which it aims to have concluded by 2024 with the launch of a new housenote.

CCL Secure also spoke on the facts behind polymer, with an emphasis on sustainability and examples of successful recycling strategies in Costa Rica and Mexico, both of which are recycling 100% of their end of life polymer banknotes.  

A further presentation from the CBB, meanwhile, looked at the experience to date of the Sand Dollar, a digital version of the Bahamian currency and the world’s first Central Bank Digital Currency.  It is early days still, with take-up low, but the CBB has a number of initiatives in the pipeline to increase adoption, including integration with  government offices so that the Sand Dollar can be used for payments, the development of a functional offline solution and a roll-out in the many islands that make up the Bahamas through community visits and seeding Sand Dollar wallets through giveaways and promotions.

The second currency session, on Production and Print, looked at the implementation of lean manufacturing strategies at the Bank of Mexico to increase productivity and standardise processes given increase demand for banknotes in the country.

Canadian Banknote spoke on the topic of ‘embracing choice’  (it was another key supplier for the new Bahamian series) and the innovation that was generated through partnership with other suppliers.

Delegates also heard from Seprinto about the pros and cons of new versus refurbished banknote printing presses, whilst De La Rue’s presentation focused on a celebration of polymer notes in the Caribbean, having in the last few years created new series on SAFEGUARD® for Trinidad and Tobago, the East Caribbean, Barbados and, most recently, Jamaica.  A particular emphasis was made on the designs and features in the notes for the visually-impaired, given the high incidence of adults with vision loss in the region.

HSP LATAM 06 06 23 026

A fascinating session on Substates and Features saw presentations from Oberthur Fiduciaire on its new micro-optics thread Pulsar™, combining colour shift and dynamic effects; from Hueck Folien on holographic stripes (with special examples featuring Caribbean marine life); from IQ Structures on its use of artificial intelligence to assist (but not, it was at pains to point out, replace) hologram designers;  from SURYS on its new generation of plasmonic features based on nano-structures for windows in polymer notes; and from PWPW on the commemorative note recently launched on polymer to celebrate the life of the renowned Polish astronomer and inventor of the heliocentric theory, Nicolas Copernicus.  

The fifth session switched to Sustainability and the Environment, with presentations from Louisenthal on combining sustainability, durability and security in banknotes through its Green Banknote initiative, and from Hunkeler on sustainability in the banknote destruction process.  

BlendPaper of Brazil took delegates through its work on recycling banknote waste, in a project named Tran$forma, in partnership with Casda da Moeda do Brasil and the Equipa Group. A specially developed process transforms pre- and post-processing residue into pulp which can be made into specialty and security papers, packaging and, in the near future, banknote paper as well.  

Jura, meanwhile, focused on environmentally friendly intaglio printing solutions, in particular its new S-DLE (Steel Direct Laser Engraving) technology, which it described as a showstopper. Tests have shown that the new material and process dramatically  speed up the platemaking process, reduce costs and benefit the environment by doing away with galvanic chroming, all without any loss of quality.

HSP LATAM 07 06 23 043

Over in the ID track, the first session was on recent developments in passports. It  included presentations from Argentina’s National Directorate for Migration on challenges in document issuance, Brazil’s Society of Forensic Sciences on counterfeit and falsified Brazilian passports, Casa da Moeda do Brasil  on the design and development of the new Brazilian passport and Veridos on the recently introduced Costa Rican ePassport.

The following session focused on design and security for travel and identity documents with presentations from HID Global on the design of Estonian and Bahraini ePassports, Argentina’s National Registry on the use of AI in authentication of both physical and digital documents and Thales on the next generation ‘Phygital’ experience in identity.

Substrates and features were the focus of the next ID session on the second morning. The UK’s Luminescence Sun Chemical opened the session with a paper on securing documents using security inks, which was followed by a paper from the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Safety on virtual asylum ID document pilot, whilst the Austrian State Printing House explored the use of biometric barcode to secure documents and El Salvador National Registry of Natural Persons spoke on the latest developments in the country’s national identity scheme.

The final ID session saw four presentations on document fraud and anti-counterfeiting. This included a paper from IDEMIA on how colour portraits in polycarbonate documents help prevent forgery; HSI Forensic Laboratory of the US Department of Homeland Security on document fraud trends along the southwest border in El Paso, Texas; a presentation from Mexico’s Department for Protection of Documents and Forensic Sciences on the latest trends in document counterfeiting in Mexico; and a paper from Chile’s Criminalistic Laboratory on methods fraudsters use to alter government-issued documents in Chile.

HSP LATAM 05 06 23 096

The final session of the conference focused on technology and innovation, with fascinating presentations from the Bank of Spain titled ‘Neurocash – a New Way of Designing Cash’, a methodology to measure how humans behave when interacting with a banknote; from Casa de Moneda Chile on innovative security labels for vehicles; and from Landqart on bringing physical documents into the digital realm by printing a secure code inside the substrate (Durasafe Certify) and linking this with the code on the finished document so that the document, object and owner can be authenticated visually and digitally.

A specialised exhibition of over 40 companies was held alongside the conference sessions, providing delegates with an opportunity to see the latest industry products and solutions.

Other highlights of the event included the conference dinner in the beautiful gardens of the Grand Hayat Baha Mar and the presentation of the prestigious Regional Banknote and Regional ID Document of the Year awards.

Awards were made in several categories for this year’s Banknote awards – Best New Banknote, for which there were two winners, and Best New Series – with Argentina, Guyana and Barbados all receiving recognition. 

For the ID awards, there were winners in all three categories – Best New Passport, Best New National ID Card, and Best New Other Security Document. This year, Brazil, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Bahamas all received recognition, with two of them getting a joint award.

Concluding the awards ceremony, a special Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Harald Klint, of Colombian security agency Imaprok, and among the best-known figures in the industry, particularly in the region.
On the final evening Reconnaissance organised the HSP volleyball match which was as competitive as expected, with all players giving it their best performance.
Reconnaissance is now shifting its focus to the HSP Asia event, which takes place in Colombo, Sri Lanka from 4-6 December.

Issuance of the New Family of Banknotes and Reduction of Counterfeiting of Banknotes in Bolivia

Claudia Fabiola Soruco Carballo, Banco Central de Bolivia

Banknote counterfeiting is an illegal activity that generates highly distorting effects on economies. Within this framework, a central aspect in the management of Central Banks is ensuring that banknotes and coins have adequate characteristics, which allow the population to have full confidence when carrying out their daily transactions. In this line, the Central Bank of Bolivia (BCB) put into circulation as of 2018 a New Family of Banknotes (NFB), with characteristics that have been shown to have been able to satisfy this requirement, significantly reducing the number of counterfeit banknotes. seized.

Another aspect that contributed to the reduction of counterfeit Bolivianos was the implementation of NFB socialization campaigns, which in recent years have allowed a greater percentage of the population to become aware of the security measures of banknotes, as reflected in the results of surveys carried out by the BCB.

In this way, it is intended to show how the launch of the NFB and the different elements that were part of its launch and dissemination campaign, resulted in a significant decrease in counterfeiting of banknotes in Bolivia.

La falsificación de billetes es una actividad ilegal que genera efectos altamente distorsivos en las economías. En ese marco, un aspecto central en la gestión de los Bancos Centrales es el procurar que los billetes y monedas cuenten con características adecuadas, que permitan a la población tener una confianza plena al tiempo de efectuar sus transacciones cotidianas. En esta línea, el Banco Central de Bolivia (BCB) puso en circulación a partir del año 2018 una Nueva Familia de Billetes (NFB), con características que se ha evidenciado han podido satisfacer este requerimiento, reduciendo de manera importante la cantidad de billetes falsos incautados.

Otro aspecto que coadyuvó a la reducción de la falsificación del Boliviano, fue la implementación de campañas de socialización de la NFB, que permitieron que en los últimos años, un mayor porcentaje de la población conozca las medidas de seguridad de los billetes, tal como reflejan los resultados de encuestas realizadas por el BCB.

De esta manera, se pretende mostrar cómo el lanzamiento de la NFB y los diferentes elementos que formaron parte de la campaña de lanzamiento y difusión de ésta, se tradujeron en una disminución importante de la falsificación de los billetes en Bolivia.

In recent years of the digital revolution, personal data plays a central role in feeding different virtual activities where identity becomes a high-risk factor.
This presentation will focus on evaluating the physical aspects of document design and the questions that arise about what barriers have reduced fraud, what aspects still need to be developed to validate a remote identity and what challenges await us in the short-term considering progress of artificial intelligence. Undoubtedly, the real dilemma will no longer be establishing a fraud but establishing if it is real or not.

Alejandro Sanchez Gonzalez, Banco de México

Public and private organizations efficiency and productivity have become even more relevant in recent years, especially during and after the pandemic caused by COVID-19, in order to meet production objectives and thus satisfy the requirements of society. In the two Banco de Mexico banknote facilities, Lean Manufacturing strategies have been used to increase production capacity and deal with changing requests caused by disruptions in the supply chain. Managing the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), carrying out Gemba Walks, and implementing the 5s methodology in all banknote printing processes have led to an increase in production capacity and flexibility in manufacturing Mexican banknotes.

Overhauling and Modernisation of Printing Presses – the one-stop-shop of Security Printing Experts

Virginie Lang, Seprinto & Partners

Security printing is complex and capital-intensive. With the uncertain future of banknotes and our duty to protect the environment and reduce wastage, Seprinto & Partners offer cost-efficient ways to overhaul, modernise or both the printing houses’ current presses.

Overhauling:
Seprinto and Cattaneo-Ormag Security’s partnership promises a high-end overhaul of printing machines. Not only will the electronics be brought up to the current level, but the machine will regain the splendour it has lost over time. All the original performances are guaranteed, and some modernisations are possible. The refurbished presses are good for another 20 years of state-of-the-art banknote production.
The customers can count on the experience and know-how the team has acquired in almost 50 years.

Modernisation:
While the printing machine is still running well, it might miss some features of modern production. Tailor-made solutions are critical whether a new inking unit, a technical upgrade for new security features or a vision system is needed.
In a case study with Valora, we will demonstrate the newly installed in-line vision system that was developed in collaboration with In-Core Systèmes (vision systems expert) and Seprinto.

Securing Electronic Identity Documents in the Quantum Era

Jorge Adrián Rosas, Infineon

Post Quantum Cryptography – a game changer for electronic identity documents?

Revolutionary technological advances such as the invention of the personal computer, smart phones, the increasing integration of artificial intelligence in our day-to-day life and the rise of Internet of Things have fundamentally changed our lives. A New Era is dawning with the advent of quantum computing which will surely bring improvement and enhancement to our lives, but is also shadowed with challenges and drawbacks.

Quantum computers use quantum mechanical effects for computation, aiming to exponentially accelerate operations. Once available with sufficient computing power, quantum computers can solve certain calculations much faster than today’s conventional computers. Hence, they will disruptively threaten current security algorithms such as RSA and ECC, which are used in almost all electronic Identity documents.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to cryptographic algorithms that aim to be efficiently secure against attacks performed by quantum computers. Even though the threat is not imminent yet – mostly because a long transition period is expected, and also due to the fact that many ecosystem stakeholders are not yet actively involved – immediate actions for early preparation should be taken already now, so that appropriate and commercially feasible solutions are available in due time.

Austria The Secure Document Biometric Barcode (SDBB)

Jorge Carvalho, Austrian State Printing House (OeSD)

Issuing authorities face problems with shortage of chips for their cards, non-availability of chip readers for instant control and the high investment when millions of cards need to be issued. Furthermore, the existing chip technology uses algorithms that are vulnerable to attacks with quantum computers.
Most of the barcodes observed in identity documents are of small capacity and don´t include any biometric information

After a lot of research, a post-quantum secured and biometric barcode has been developed for instant identity checks.
The Secure Document Biometric Barcode (SDBB) embeds a photograph and personal data, which is secured with classical digital signatures and a post-quantum resilient hash based method. Through a freely available mobile application each officer, authority and citizen can verify the information contained in the SDBB. The photo is displayed on the smart phone and can be compared with the one printed on the card and the holder of the card. Therefore biometric identity verification is easy for officers, police, banks, insurance companies, airlines, hotels and for everyone who needs to securely check an ID.

A video explaining the concept can be provided upon request.

Sustainability in the Destruction Process of Banknotes

Pascal Rebeaud, Hunkeler Systeme

Sustainability is becoming key for our world of today and many industries have already set benchmarks in their fields.
The banknote industry is committed to sustainability and emphasizes this towards their suppliers. But when it comes to the end of a banknote’s lifecycle, sustainability has been somewhat neglected so far.
The “Wheel of Destruction” provides details of how separation of substrates is mandatory in the destruction process; a profound analysis of a one- or two step shredding process unveils hidden energy saving potentials and a proper compacting solution supports the CO2 footprint for transportation. Smaller destruction units for a decentralized process might be the right solution when lower shredding volumes or geographical challenges are the driver.

Circular Life Cycle for Cotton From Banknotes Back into Paper

Alexandre Ambrozio Gilberti, BlendPaper Security

Nowadays, the idea of a circular economy has been the subject of industries all around the world. That is because the benefits of this method are untold, not only in addressing environmental issues but also in improving productive processes and thus bringing profitability to the companies. Believing in this concept, BP Security, a Blendpaper Brazil banknote and security paper brand, saw an opportunity in a niche that is now seen as a problem in the banknote market: currency paper waste.

A highlighted important factor is that banknote waste takes a longer time to decompose compared to ordinary paper waste. This happens because the banknote paper receives a chemical treatment that offers an wet resistance. The Blendpaper team studied the best way to permeate the wet resistance in these papers, the highest challenge to the transformation of currency paper waste, with the technique of repulping. Therefore, besides producing new fine papers and papers for printing/writing, is possible to expand and spread this new technology to make it possible to establish more partnerships with various mints all around the world and therefore transform this by-product into banknote-paper or security paper, closing the loop on this material.

Environment Friendly Intaglio Printing Solution

Barna Barabás, JURA

In line with today’s latest technologies Jura and OeBS together announced the latest development of the Direct Laser Engraved Steel Plates for Intaglio Printing. The new material and printing process meets the highest expectations of Intaglio Printing, the platemaking is sustainable and environment friendly process.

The whole development started with a very accurate set of tests such as: material selection, laser engraving, post-processing & PVD coating, and much more.

The new S- DLE® (Steel Direct Laser Engraving) engraved plates are already in production with very positive feedback, the plates were coated with PVD chroming, and during production there was no plate elongation, which was one of their biggest fears. The steel plate post-process is the same, there is no need to change the plate production or the banknote production itself.
S-DLE® – Steel Digital Laser Engraving – is an engraving technic providing full 3D control over the engraving process including asymmetric line-profiling, multi-level engraving, and precise control of fine-line microtext. The calibration and checks are fully automated including the measuring of the plate thickness, laser power, focus, and field correction.

This is the third generation of lasers that the S-DLE is using. We started in 2005 with Nano second, since 2012 Pico second laser had been the standard technology, and then, in 2019 Femtosecond laser (ultrashort laser pulses) which allows engraving in different materials.

In the presentation we will present the process itself, the lessons learned and the production results.

Colour Portraits―The Best Choice to Prevent ID Document Fraud.

Leonardo Rojas, IDEMIA

The portrait, as the main element that connects the ID document to its legitimate holder, is the most attacked feature. Ensuring its protection against counterfeiting or any alteration attempts is crucial.
In recent years, we have seen an increase in the use of color portraits on identity documents. One of the reasons for this is because flesh tones are better perceived by the human eye than grayscale hues, making them easier to authenticate.

Due to its unique laser engraving technology, IDEMIA’s LASINK™ product family generates high-quality color portraits on polycarbonate ID credentials. Over the last few years, many countries such as Colombia, Costa Rica, Latvia, Morocco, etc. have opted for LASINK™ Origin as the main portrait on their identity documents. Furthermore, it is now possible to embed color portraits in DOVID or transparent windows using this proven-field technology.

Fraud Trends Observed Along the Southwest Border in El Paso, Texas

Hillary Hoover, HSI Forensic Laboratory

Crossings at the southwest border are on the rise, and the expiration of Title 42 of the United States Code that deals with public health means that the U.S. government will no longer be able to leverage it as a mechanism to swiftly remove those individuals crossing into the United States illegally. This surge is likely to be felt most acutely in the El Paso, Texas sector of the border, which as of March 31, 2023 leads the nation with over 265,037 migrant encounters, a 134% increase from the same period in 2022, and a number that will almost certainly continue to rise. This presentation will examine the fraud trends seen at the southwest border, specifically the El Paso sector, between the dates of February 26 through April 20, 2023, and in doing so provide a guide to trends that are likely to be observed in the aftermath of the expiration of Title 42.

Methods of Adulteration and Counterfeiting of Public Documents

Prof José Manuel A. Duarte Ulloa, LABOCAR Criminalistic Laboratory of Chile

Document forgery is perhaps one of the most booming crimes in the world, thus creating damage and disruption in society. In addition, it violates a protected legal right and causes an attack on public faith through the legal traffic of the dubious document, which often goes unnoticed by the lawyer and the judge due to the capacity and constant updating of techniques carried out by criminals.

It is there where the forensic analysis of documents plays a relevant role to counteract the illegal forgery and provide assistance to the administration of justice in favor of the rights of those affected. Modern document expertise has acquired that essential apogee to deal with counterfeiting with crime laboratories highly equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and instruments and constantly trained and certified expert experts.

There are multiple ways to modify or falsify a document, some rudimentary and crude, being verified promptly and with certainty by police officers on a daily basis.

However, we find high-quality counterfeits, even achieving element emulation and security inks, creating complexities in their primary analysis. For its part, technology has generated a continuous improvement in the preparation of fraudulent documents, such as: driver’s licenses, license plates, technical inspection certificates, polluting emissions, compulsory insurance, circulation permits, paper money, cotton and polymer, among others.

Making visible the current modalities of documentary fraud and the suspicion on the part of lawbreakers to achieve their circulation, would allow presenting tools so that different government entities and companies in charge of making new technologies in printing systems, elements and security inks, achieve incorporate more security structures, in order to create obstacles for counterfeiters when preparing spurious or altered documents.

La falsedad documental es tal vez uno de los delitos con mayor auge en el mundo, creando así perjuicios y trastornos en la sociedad. Además, vulnera un bien jurídico tutelado y causa un atentado a la fe pública a través del tráfico jurídico del documento dudoso, que muchas veces pasa desapercibido para el abogado y el juez por la capacidad y constante actualización de técnicas que ejecutan los delincuentes.

Es ahí donde el análisis forense de documentos, juega un rol relevante para contrarrestar el ilícito falsario y brindar un auxilio a la administración de justicia en pro de los derechos de los afectados. El peritaje de documentos moderno ha adquirido ese apogeo imprescindible para afrontar las falsificaciones con laboratorios criminalísticos altamente dotados de equipos e instrumentos de tecnología avanzada y expertos peritos certificados y entrenados constantemente.

Múltiples son las modalidades de modificar o falsear un documento, algunas rudimentarias y burdas, siendo verificadas con prontitud y certeza por los agentes policiales día a día.

Sin embargo, nos encontramos con falsificaciones de alta calidad, incluso logrando la emulación de elementos y tintas de seguridad, lo que genera complejidades en su análisis primario. Por su parte, la tecnología ha generado una mejora continua de la elaboración de documentos fraudulentos, tales como: licencias de conducir, placas patentes, certificados de revisión técnica, emisiones contaminantes, seguros obligatorios, permisos de circulación, papel moneda algodón y polímero, entre otros.

Visibilizar las actuales modalidades de fraude documentario y la suspicacia por parte de los infractores de ley para lograr su circulación, permitiría presentar herramientas para que diferentes entidades gubernamentales y empresas encargadas de confeccionar nuevas tecnologías en los sistemas de impresión, elementos y tintas de seguridad, logren incorporar más estructuras de seguridad, con la finalidad de generar obstáculos a los falsificadores al momento de la elaboración de documentos espurios o alterados.

Neurocash – A New Way of Designing Cash

Miguel López, Banco de España

Neurocash will improve the design of the future banknotes. This neuroscience based methodology developed by the Banco de España and the LENI Institute of Universitat Politècnica de València will help issuing authorities to enhance the attractiveness and public engagement of new series.

Traditional perception studies only retrieve inputs on the human conscious mental processes since they are based on explicit responses obtained through questionnaires and interviews. Nevertheless, there is much to be gained from the study of the unconscious mental processes. Neurocash will provide valuable insights into the visual interest, attention to certain areas, emotions, motivation, the mental load and the level of stimulation of the public when interacting with a banknote.

Neurocash is a new methodology for conducting innovative perception studies of banknotes based on the application of neuroscience and artificial intelligence that offers an objective and scientific understanding of the public perception of banknotes and security features.

Neurocash provides a wide range of benefits such as:

• Data-driven decision making on the best design,
• Informed choice of security features,
• Assessment of the anti-counterfeiting resilience,
• Improvement of the banknote production efficiency,
• Evaluation of effectiveness of the communication campaigns.

Neurocash advantages can also be complemented with the use of Virtual cash. This tool enables the creation of new banknote designs in a virtual environment.

Making the cash cycle fit for the future

Matias Wolfer, Giesecke+Devrient

Working in close collaboration with all stakeholders in the cash business is key for a sustainable, efficient and resilient cash cycle. In order to achieve efficiency, standardization of reusable banknote handling units is of imminent importance. This will moreover cater into another important topic, which is sustainability. Handling loose banknotes in dedicated handling units wherever possible in the cash cycle will reduce waste, in terms of less single-use paper and plastic consumables. In addition, security with less hands-on-cash can be increased as these handling units allow for a higher degree of banknote processing automation.

Standardization is the enabler to change and enhance processes and interfaces in between the participants of the cash business and will enable you to seamlessly track and trace the flow of goods within the cash cycle with associated data.

Join us and learn how each of the above cash cycle “buzzwords” can be realized by the holistic power of G+D´s intelligent portfolio – as many of our customers have already done. Immerse yourself in our vision of making the cash cycle fit for the future.”
