Published by:  In the wake of worldwide terrorism, the level of security at national borders has increased. To assist in their efforts for stronger border security, countries around the globe are implementing an e-passport program. The e-passport has a smart card chip embedded in its back cover that contains a digital image of the traveler's face, name, date and expiration. Since different passports are used daily worldwide, it is critical to have a standard system in place for the e-passport design and reader technology. SafeNet's HSM's (Hardware Security Modules) are currently deployed in 14 countries around the world to support different e-passports initiatives. The strength of the product offering, combined with an established and large global presence are key factors resulting in the use of SafeNet technology upon which to base trust and security. |
