RFID based e-passport system

Abstract

This dissertation analyses the use of RFID cards as e-passports instead of the conventional paper passport booklet with an embedded chip as the e-passport. Advancement in technology comes with so many possibilities that all information can be stored electronically. The purpose is to limit the use of counterfeit documents. This in turn will prevent illegal entry of the traveller into any specific country at the same time maintaining the privacy and personal security of the e-passport bearers.
