Not So Super Notes, How Well Does US Dollar Note Security Prevent Counterfeiting?
Matthew Duggan Member of Technical Staff, VMware Inc.

The security of US dollar notes is paramount for maintaining their value and safeguarding the US and dependent economies. Counterfeiting has historically been a crime of high sophistication, but has the prevalence of affordable color scanning and printing equipment changed that? This talk analyzes the security features of US dollars to determine the minimum sized organization that could successfully execute an attack.
