Abstract

Since the introduction of the Machine Readable Travel Do- cument (MRTD) that is also known as e-passport for human identifi- cation at border control debates have been raised about security and privacy concerns. In this paper, we present the first hardware implemen- tation for cracking Basic Access Control (BAC) keys of the e-passport is- suing 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. Keywords:
