Monday January 30, 2006 Dutch biometric passports cracked, ID info stealable It's as well that there is lively debate on this subject, from a technical standpoint as well as the more expected civil liberties folk... The Dutch passport, one of the first to include "biometric" information which can be read digitally in accordance with new internatiomal legislation, has been cracked from a range of 10 metres such that cleartext of the data stored therein is extracted. Kudos to the Riscure labs in Delft for publishing. First reported at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/30/dutch_biometric_passport_crack/, Riscure's own press release here, abstracted material from presentation on the subject by Jacobs and Schreur at a SafeNL workshop here.
