EUROSMART Working Groups activities

- Security experts are finalising a Protection Profile survey - Eurosmart members have shared and improved their expertise on PP since 1997. More than 20 PPs exists today - 50% are certified
You will find in this survey (posted soon) a list of certified PP in use.

- eID group members have written an ePassport explanation document about Security into Smart Cards and ePassports - Some confusion exists regarding the recent trials in alleged attacking ePassports’ security. Reading the information contained in an ePassport is not an attack, nor a crack. Reading or photocopying an open passport is about the same, because the electronic data stored in the contactless chip are equal to data printed on the internal page (name, surname, date of birth, address, etc.).
