1.2 Smart eID family properties

Smart eID is designed to complement general-purpose smart card controllers in the NXP

Semiconductors range of identification products for eGovernment applications. It is an

“all-in” functionality product supporting ISO/IEC 7816 data structures, including those

defined in ICAO document 9303. Smart eID is designed for low-end configurations in

identification cards, driving licences or other eGovernment applications. The learning

curve for implementers is quick, as the product is based on well-known standards. By

using Smart eID, applications can be developed and validated within days. The Smart eID

family can be regarded as low-end products due to their limited memory size. Triple-DES

symmetric cryptography and the ISO/IEC 14443 type A contactless interface are

supported.

The file system allows the creation of pre-configured applications that provide data groups

within the application. Access to these data groups can be according to one of three

modes: completely open (“LDS” – according to the Logical Data Structure defined in ICAO

document 9303), protected with Basic Access Control and Secure Messaging (“BAC” – as

defined in ICAO document 9303). A third configuration provides an additional mechanism

to update data groups after issuing the electronic document to the holder as well as a

feature to protect against cloning. These additional features make Smart eID particularly

useful for ID cards, driving licences, and other eGovernment applications.

Compliance to existing MRTD (Machine Readable Travel Document) inspection

equipment can be obtained by configuration settings according to ICAO document 9303.

For driving licence applications, it can be configured to comply with ISO/IEC 18013-3,

using BAP (Basic Access Protocol) security in configuration 1.
