Optically Variable Devices (OVDs)
“An optical variable device or optically variable device (OVD)
is an iridescent image that exhibits various optical effects
such as movement or color changes. OVDs cannot be
photocopied or scanned, nor can they be accurately replicated or
reproduced.
The OVD is often used as a security device and anti-counterfeiting
measure on money, credit cards and identification cards. OVDs
can be created through a combination of printing and embossing.”
Not all OVDs are iridescent…

What is an Optically Variable Device?
Iridescence (also known as goniochromism)
is the property of certain surfaces that
appear to change colour as the angle of
view or the angle of illumination changes.

Plasmon resonance is the collective
oscillation of electrons in a solid or liquid
stimulated by incident light. The
resonance condition is established when
the frequency of the light photons
matches the natural frequency of the
surface electrons.
Swedish 1000 crown 2006,
with Motion feature.
When rotating about a vertical
axis, the parallax has vertical
movement, when rotating about
a horizontal axis, the parallax
has a horizontal movement.
This orthoclastic movement is
counter-intuitive because it is at
right angles to normal parallax.

Optokey OVDs combine a digital data matrix code
with a high definition micro image that is part of the
holographic security design. Using a dedicated app
specific images and properties from the OVD can be
authenticated without the need for an internet
connection.
Flashcard™ is similar to Optokey.
Provided the hologram is genuine:
• Is able to access a central database
and identify and track and trace the
bearer identity.
• The bearer’s picture on the card can
then be checked and authenticated to
the picture held on the database.

Track and TraceWhat is Track?
Definition: ‘track refers to the concept of
marking an individual item with a
serialisation code (or UID) so that it can
be monitored from the point of
production up to the point of sale to the
customer, including each step in
between thereby creating a complete
time and location history for that item’.
What is Trace?
Definition: ‘trace refers to the ability to
identify the past or current location of an
individual item’.
The 2 definitions combine to form traceability

The IHMA Hologram Image Register (HIR)
• The Jewel in the IHMA crown, operated by the Criminal intelligence Bureau (CIB). Online submission!
• A record of registered hologram images in use, around the world.
• Helps to prevent members inadvertently copying holograms they would otherwise not know of.
• Helps to identify attempts to source copy holograms and pursue the offenders.
• No other authentication/security product has such a register.
Conclusion
• Innovation in the OVD sector is thriving with many new
features/products and technologies coming to market.
