Abstract

Since the introduction of the Machine Readable Travel Document (MRTD) that is also known as e-passport for human identification at border control debates have been raised about security and privacy concerns. In this paper, we present the first hardware implementation for cracking Basic Access Control (BAC) keys of the e-passport issuing schemes in Germany and the Netherlands. Our implementation was designed for the reprogrammable key search machine COPACOBANA and achieves a key search speed of 228 BAC keys per second. This is a speed-up factor of more than 200 if compared to previous results and allows for a runtime in the order of seconds in realistic scenarios. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
