Smart Passport

Abstract

The proposed idea is to make the passport in the form of a CARD and as a secured one too. Already there are usages and research & development being done on e-passports in some countries like USA, Indonesia etc. These e-passports are used for user data security and to improve accuracy in the verification of the right passenger identification. Even though it is secured than the old passports, here usage of a passport book is repeatable. To make it easier, the smart card can be used as the passport. In SMART Passport each and every passport holder will be given a unique identity number based on some norms which is proposed in this project. The biometrics and RFID tag is used here are for the identification and authentication purposes. Each and every smart passport holder will have their own secret key which is used as a decryption key and based on this key and the data stored in the RFID tag is used to make the passengers as an authenticated person. All the details of the passengers can be centralized throughout the world with the help of Cloud Computing Technique. This SMART PASSPORT will be comparatively good in security, portability and centralization which are the required parameters in the passport for today’s world.
