Electronic ID documents and machine readable travel documents (MRDT) enhanced by biometric data provide advanced security and allow for additional applications. The necessary security features range from access control mechanisms within the document’s chip to authentication and encrypted data transmission between chip and inspection system to public key infrastructures providing the corresponding certificates.

All cryptovision products provide the necessary cryptographic mechanisms used in eID and machine readable travel documents and the corresponding inspections systems and infrastructure components. Additionally cryptovision provides a set of Java Card applets that are especially designed for integration into the eID and MRTD security chips to secure the access to these chips and enhance the functionality the documents' functionality with added-value applications.
