Abstract
With the introduction of electronic passports containing sensitive biometric information like fingerprints and iris scans, we face a new world of challenges. How do we allow a legitimate inspection system to read the passport while at the same time ensure that nobody else can? This talk discusses the advanced cryptography, primitives, and protocols involved in ePassports and inspection systems.
