Enhancing Privacy for RFID Passports

Overview While contactless reading of passports can be advantageous compared to traditional contact-based smart cards, e.g., avoid issues of contact contamination, the use of the RFID is only necessary when an authorized ofcial needs to inspect the passport and associate the passport with its bearer. Thus, a mechanism needs to be found that reliable makes the passport available for reading, but avoids unintentional disclosure of the RFID content. This paper describes how the privacy of passports containing Radio Frequency IDentification Devices (RFID) can be enhanced without interfering with its functionality.
