ePassport Certificates

ePassports, defined under ICAO Doc 9303, embed chips that store identity and biometric information. To secure this data, countries establish a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) consisting of a Country Signing Certificate Authority (CSCA) and Document Signer Certificates.

emCA supports issuing these certificates, enabling Basic Access Control (BAC) and Extended Access Control (EAC) mechanisms. This ensures authenticity of travel documents, protects biometric data, and facilitates interoperability across borders.

How to configure, create, and issue ePassport Certificates in emCA will be published shortly.
