Python Biometric Passport API provides a platform for accessing biometric data from passport scans. With efficient integration and data handling, it enables users to manage secure information and build applications for streamlined passport verification.
If you're looking for a reliable and flexible tool to read and check ePassports, look no further than pyPassport. Developed by Jean-Francois Houzard and Olivier Roger during their Master Thesis in the Information Security Group of the UCL in Belgium, this GPL-friendly software is up-to-date with the latest version of Doc9303 published by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in 2004.
One of the key features of ePassports is their passive contactless chip, which contains cryptographic mechanisms to ensure secure communication. pyPassport is designed to interact with these chips and provide users with a range of functionalities.
As a Python-based API, pyPassport is both user-friendly and powerful. Even in its current beta version, it's stable enough to be tested by interested parties. The software provides an interface for performing basic access control and secure messaging, as well as passive and active authentications. Users can also read the content of the ePassport, including JPEG-format pictures, and create "valid" auto-signed ePassport content (with the assistance of Java 1.6).
Released under the GNU Lesser General Public License, Version 3 License, pyPassport is a valuable tool for anyone working with ePassports. Try it out today and see for yourself how powerful it can be.
