## Abstract (arXiv)

Counterfeiting and piracy are a form of theft that has been steadily growing in recent years. Banknotes and identity documents are two common objects of counterfeiting. Aiming to detect these counterfeits, the present survey covers a wide range of anti-counterfeiting security features, categorizing them into three components: security substrate, security inks and security printing. respectively. From the computer vision perspective, we present works in the literature covering these three categories. Other topics, such as history of counterfeiting, effects on society and document experts, counterfeiter types of attacks, trends among others are covered. Therefore, from non-experienced to professionals in security documents, can be introduced or deepen its knowledge in anti-counterfeiting measures.
