Gemalto ePassports ranked #1 for speed in Industry tests
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Amsterdam, June 21, 2016 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader
in digital security, announces that its operating system integrated in the
Sealys electronic passports, achieved the fastest reading capabilities in the
independent Interoperability Tests conducted at the recent Security Document
World Conference in London. Sealys ePassport Embedded Software is the latest
generation of Gemalto's ICAO-compliant operating system. It meets the exacting
standards of the Common Criteria EAL5+ augmented certification, which represents
the highest known proven level of resistance to security attack available today
for electronic travel documents.
Gemalto's software was assessed in May alongside a range of ePassports from
other companies, and the test demonstrated data throughput rates more than twice
the industry average.
Speed is key for issuing authorities as it means increased personalization and
quality control throughput. Faster reading of electronic and biometric passports
at border control points is also critical consideration for authorities seeking
to process millions of passengers as quickly and efficiently as possible,
without compromising security.
"With international travel continuing to grow rapidly*, faster passport reading
offers higher throughput capacity and greater convenience for passengers. It
also makes biometric-enabled self-service stations a more attractive option for
end users, further easing the burden on border control staff," said Youzec Kurp,
Vice President of Government Programs at Gemalto. "The industry-leading
performance of Sealys solutions is reflected in Gemalto providing products and
services in over 30 national ePassport programs around the world."
