The design of detector concepts has been driven for a long time by\nrequirements on transverse momentum, impact parameter and jet energy\nresolutions, as well as hermeticity. Only rather recently it has been realised\nthat the ability to idenfity different types of charged hadrons, in particular\nkaons and protons, could have important applications at Higgs factories like\nthe International Linear Collider (ILC), ranging from improvements in tracking,\nvertexing and flavour tagging to measurements requiring strangeness-tagging.\nWhile detector concepts with gaseous tracking, like a time projection chamber\n(TPC), can exploit the specific energy loss, all-silicon-based detectors have\nto rely on fast timing layers in front of or in the first layers of their\nelectromagnetic calorimeters (ECals). This work will review the different\noptions for realising particle identification (PID) for pions, kaons and\nprotons, introduce recently developed reconstruction algorithms and present\nfull detector simulation prospects for physics applications using the example\nof the International Large Detector (ILD) concept.\n
