Identity documents — including passports, ID cards, and other credentials — are evolving in layout (ICAO guidelines), design, and functionality as they are re-engineered to counter emerging phygital threats that blend physical and digital attack vectors. In parallel, advances in materials science, clear windows, new optical security features, and technologies are enhancing both security and durability while enabling fast, secure, and reliable authentication. The presentation will highlight the OVD security landscape, latest trends and innovations driving this transformation — exploring the evolving role of next-generation OVDs in safeguarding modern identity documents.
