Why do we need
high speed e-passport?
 e-Passport should be the only identification document in
international traveling
 Currently only a carrier of personal identity – only inspection
 Information all around cross-border activities has to be
digitally managed and recorded
 ICAO LDS 2.0 (Logical Data Structure) to be included in
DOC9303 will specify data format and secure handling
 Complete personal data will increase
 High speed processing is mandatory in the future
to ensure quick border crossing

4th Generation ePass
goes LDS 2.0
Logical Data Structure 2.0
 Specifies a new application independent of current LDS 1.7
to ensure backward compatibility
 Application will contain more persistent data groups for

Visas

Entry / Exit Stamps

Additional Biometric Data not considered in LDS 1.7
 To update data on the e-passport PKI authentication will be
necessary (EAC2)
 With a data capacity like a 60 page passport the complete
personal data will be up to 500 kB
