Template:Attacks on Digital Passports
From What The Wiki?!
Digital Passports are introduced to combat passport modification and cloning fraud. The legacy technology has shown a growing business case for identity-fraud to support illegal migration and terrorism. Digital Passports rely on smart cards for protecting the integrity of personal data and avoiding illegal cloning. Although smart card technology is very suitable for this, vulnerabilities do exist and new attacks continuously emerge.This presentation first briefly discusses the state of the art of secure identification technology, including applications, biometry, (contactless) smart cards, operating systems, cryptographic protocols and algorithms. Then, it covers several of the latest logical and side channel attack techniques in detail. The theory behind the attack technique is explained to the audience, and for each technique, a demonstration is given on a commercially available card.
