How does the Scytáles Mobile Validator for Travel Documents work?
The Scytáles Mobile Validator for Travel Documents uses a number of different validation methods to ensure that the document being read can be trusted and that the holder is bound to the document. The validation methods can be done through NFC, photo scanning/imaging of the MRZ/OCR or barcode, and one-to-one (1:1) facial recognition. The Scytáles Mobile Validator for Travel Documents can also extract data to be used and manage the data for functions such as enrollment into other applications. Integration into other applications is straightforward; there is a fully programmable and customizable user interface, user experience, and an ability to function with a Country signing certificate authority validation service.
What is the ICAO 9303?
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is the global authority for passport standards and provides guidance on mandatory and optional specifications for travel document issuing authorities. The 9303 standard aims to ensure that MRTDs and their means of personalization and issuance to the rightful holders are secure against fraudulent attack. The historic increase in the number of people travelling and the expected continued growth when the COVID-19 crisis abates, together with the growth in international crime, terrorism and illegal immigration, have led to increasing concerns over the trustworthiness of travel documents and calls for an ability to leverage technology to validate them and their holders.
Delivered as an ICAO 9303 eDocument Reader, the Scytáles Mobile Validator for Travel Documents allows for the use of a mobile device to easily and quickly verify official e-documents, like a compliant ePassport, eID card, visa, and resident permit, among others, utilizing near field communication (NFC) and/or the machine-readable zone through optical character recognition (MRZ/OCR).
By simply using the mobile device camera and NFC, the Scytáles Mobile Validator for Travel Documents reads the MRZ, the integrated circuit chips, and barcode data to validate a variety of travel documents automatically on your device. It is a fast, reliable, and secure application with offline processing, which means the data never leaves the device.
