Dutch biometric passports cracked, ID info stealable
It’s as well that there is lively debate on this subject, from a
technical standpoint as well as the more expected civil liberties
folk…
The Dutch passport, one of the first to include “biometric” information
which can be read digitally in accordance with new internatiomal
legislation, has been cracked from a range of 10 metres such that
cleartext of the data stored therein is extracted. Kudos to the Riscure
labs in Delft for publishing.
First reported at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/30/dutch_biometric_passport_crack/, Riscure’s own press release here, abstracted material from presentation on the subject by Jacobs and Schreur at a SafeNL workshop here.
