Mühlbauer’s customized Chip Coding Application guarantees the successful personalization of ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) compliant ID chip applications with BAC and SAC functionality or EAC functionality. Mühlbauer develops ID personalization applications according to your individual requirements with state-of-the art technology based on our broad experience and background in ID projects. Furthermore we support you with our professional services during each step of the development process: specification, design, implementation and testing.
Key Features
Electronic ID documents following the ICAO standard provide highest security for the identification and the authentication of the cardholder. Electronic ID cards and passports have a security chip embedded, which stores personal and biometric cardholder data. There exist several security mechanisms to protect the cardholder data against unauthorized access, to ensure the authenticity of the ID document and to protect it against forgery.
Basic Access Control (BAC) / Supplemental Access Control (SAC)
Basic Access Control (BAC) protects the chip against skimming (reading content from a distance) and ensures the information exchanged with the reading device is encrypted. BAC and PACE (Password Authenticated Connection Establishment), i.e. Supplemental Access Control (SAC), strengthen the chip access control mechanism.
Extended Access Control (EAC)
Extended Access Control (EAC) provides the full BAC functionality, but includes also several advanced security protocols like chip authentication (detection of cloned chips) and terminal authentication and provides additional security.
An ID chip personalization application takes the personalization information of the document holder and encodes it to the integrated chip in the security document like an ePassport or an ID card. The application encodes the chip’s files and datagroups securely according to the individual project requirements which results in a fully personalized and valid ICAO document.
