(If it works for yours, submit a PR to add your country flag)

To use:

eMTRD are secured to prevent people from reading the data on a passport just by bumping into it. The data is secured using a key based on the passport number, date of birth, and date of expiry. A real passport machine reads these values from the MRZ (Machine Readable Zone, the ones with ">") using a camera. For the app, you have to enter the values manually. The app will then generate the key and read the data using a system called BAC(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_control).

Notes:

  • Caches MRZ info to make subsequent use faster

Limitations

  • Does not parse some of the optional DG (under 'advanced' menu)

To do

  • Support more countries passports
