Document Security Systems, Inc. (NYSE American:DSS), ("DSS"), a
leader in anti-counterfeit, authentication, and diversion
protection technologies whose products and solutions are used by
governments, corporations and financial institutions to defeat
fraud and to help ensure authenticity, and the Rochester Institute
of Technology announced today that David Wicker, VP of Research and
Development, will be the new host of the annual
Document
Security & Packaging Technology Workshop, being held
for the fourth year at the Rochester Institute of
Technology’s (“RIT”) Printing Applications Lab.
The four-day workshop will take place Monday
afternoon, June 11th through Thursday morning, June 14th, 2018 on
the RIT campus in Rochester, NY.
Counterfeiting is now the world’s largest
criminal enterprise accounting for an estimated $1.7 trillion a
year in losses, according to the International Anti-Counterfeiting
Coalition. A variety of technologies are available to both
brands and governments to protect intellectual property.
Understanding available technology and how it applies to specific
problems is a challenge for many decision makers. The
Document Security & Packaging Technology Workshop was started
to provide an academic based resource to examine the tools and
technologies outside of the influence of marketing or sales
efforts.
In this four-day seminar, instructors will
closely look at emerging technologies in covert, overt, forensic
level solutions and also provide networking opportunities with
other professionals in the field from around the world. The
workshop will review technologies for product counterfeiting,
document fraud, currency manipulation, and print fraud. Attendees
will learn about security inks, holograms, taggants, authentication
tools, and hear from presenters with Document Security Systems,
SICPA, Appvion, NASPO INTERNATIONAL, DSA, among others.
