ePassport

Athena’s ePassport solutions, IDPass and Smart Plus, provide secure contactless platforms to store biometric identification information for use in digital passport and identification projects.


Authenticating Travelers' Identities


Complying with the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s ePassport specification, Doc 9303, IDPass and Smart Plus are ideal platforms for ePassport projects.

IDPass

Common Criteria Java Card powered solutions available in dual interface or contactless form factors.

IDPass supports:

  • Chip Authentication (BAC and EAC)
  • Terminal Authentication (DH and ECDH)
  • Active Authentication (AA)
  • Logical Data Structures (LDS)

IDPass also supports:

  • Password Authenticated Connection Establishment (PACE)
  • Supplementary Access Control (SAC)

IDPass Certification

IDPass has been Common Criteria EAL4+ MRTD-PP evaluated for both BAC and EAC, ensuring in-field solution integrity.

Smart Plus

Athena Smart Plus is designed to address the growing market for secure government documents, such as Driving License, Transportation, Card Registration, ID, Travel and other eGov applications, which require a modest amount of data storage capacity coupled with state of the art security.

Athena Smart Plus Contactless supports ISO 7816 and ISO 14443 Type B protocols and can be used in a  variety of scenarios and form factors.

Athena Smart Plus includes a hierarchical file system allowing multiple application, key sets, PINs and biometric data storage and matching. It is powered by Athena's own native OS, ASEPcos.

Application designers can chose from a range of file system and application access methods including the ICAO access mode coupled with BAC authentication.
