Overview

ePass PKI for electronic and biometric passport security

Eviden ePass PKI is a software suite covering all aspects of ePassport security, from secure production of sovereign electronic travel documents to implementation of trusted digital identities for inspection terminals so biometric data can be read out. Electronic and biometric passports require high protection for both document authenticity and controlled access to sensitive personal data.

The product architecture includes standards-based software modules for BAC/SAC and EAC scenarios and for international interoperability schemes, allowing customers to deploy ePassport production and inspection projects with confidence using compliant and future-proof PKI products.

Key capabilities

Secure ePassport production PKI modules
Inspection-terminal identity for biometric-data access
Standards-compliant BAC/SAC and EAC support
Interoperability through PKD and SPOC schemes
Dedicated CA and signer/verifier role modules.

PKI software suite for sovereign ePassport production, inspection, and interoperability, with standards-based CA, signer, verifier, and exchange modules.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Eviden ePass PKI is a software suite that secures the full ePassport lifecycle, from secure production of electronic travel documents to trusted digital identities for inspection terminals that access biometric data.

The solution is designed in line with ICAO Doc 9303 and EU TR-03110 standards and supports international interoperability through the ICAO Public Key Directory (PKD) and the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) framework.

Key modules include CSCA, Document Signer (DS), National PKD (N-PKD), CVCA, DVCA, and SPOC. These components manage document signing, certificate issuance, public key exchange, and secure terminal authentication.

The suite enables Basic Access Control (BAC), Supplemental Access Control (SAC), and Extended Access Control (EAC), ensuring that only authorized inspection systems can access sensitive biometric information stored in ePassports.

Solution

ePass PKI Solution

Electronic and biometric passports are critical sovereign travel documents and require a very high level of protection to guarantee both document authenticity and controlled access to sensitive personal data of the holder. ePass PKI is a PKI suite covering all aspects of ePassport security and complies to stringent international standards including interoperability schemes.

ePass PKI is a software suite which covers all aspects of ePassport security, from secure production of sovereign electronic travel documents to implementation of trusted digital identities for inspection terminals (IS).
An important place is also given to the interoperability modules, which are fully compliant to stringent international standards.
