Conformity testing of smart cards and readers
Your benefits at a glance
Our test specifications use the open source platform GlobalTester. This allows easy and fast customization and extension with additional features and applications.
GlobalTester is continuously developed based on the latest test standards and cryptography to issue and verify standards-compliant eID documents.
We are guaranteed to always offer the most up-to-date test suites for testing smart card protocols based on the latest test specifications from the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and ICAO.
With GlobalTester, customers benefit several times over, starting with the fast implementation of test specifications, its simple yet detailed error analysis, and our fast support.
We accompany the standardization and conformity tests for eIDs
The interoperability of electronic identity documents and corresponding readers is a key requirement for being able to check today's more than 500 million electronic passports, or eMRTDs, at international borders. It is also crucial for the full use of ID functions in e-government and access control applications. Since the introduction of the first electronic passports in 2004, compliance testing for electronic identity documents and readers has come a long way. Our experts have played a key role in this development: The global interoperability that is taken for granted today is based on test standards and the availability of automated test tools for conformance testing, such as GlobalTester - from which almost the entire digital world benefits. We are proud of this.
