15. Machine Readable Travel Documents (Doc 9303)
MRTDs include Machine Readable Passports, Visas and Official Travel Documents. They facilitate the inspection of international travellers at borders and enhance security Comprehensive specifications and guidance material to assist States in their implementation of MRTDs are published in Doc 9303, which is endorsed by the International Organization for Standardization as ISO/IEC 7501

16. MRTDs improve both facilitation and security

17. Machine Readable Travel Document (MRTD)

18. ePassport
Every ePassport has an embedded electronic chip that contains the holder’s personal information and photo found in the passport. The ePassport chip is digitally signed to prevent unauthorized alteration. The technology used is called Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).

19. Face Biometric
Face Biometric proven as most compatible. Addresses numerous identity related requirements.

20. Enhancing the MRTD Programme
ICAO Traveller Identification Programme (ICAO TRIP)
Holistic approach to identification management and travel documents
Applicable to all modes of transport and borders
Integrates MRTDs, PKD and other elements of traveller identification management
Submitted to the 38th Session of the ICAO Assembly − for the final endorsement of the TRIP Strategy

22. Public Key Directory (PKD)
The Public Key Directory (PKD) is an ePassport inspection tool that was created at the request of Member States to facilitate the sharing of the public keys required to authenticate ePassports.
ICAO encourages all Member States to join the PKD to enhance security in cross-border movement.

23. PKD has 38 members and is growing
The ICAO PKD acts as a central broker, managing the multilateral exchange of information used to validate ePassports Membership is beneficial to travel document issuers and border control authorities and PKD ensures worldwide recognition of States’ ePassports, allowing travellers to cross borders easily

24. PKD Assistance
Currently, no alternative mechanism is available for distributing public key infrastructure (PKI) information worldwide in an efficient and economic manner.
The ICAO PKD also provides States with tools and expertise for ensuring adherence to the technical standards and specifications contained in ICAO Doc 9303.

25. Universal Security Audit Programme (USAP)
To determine:
the State’s capability for security oversight;
the degree of compliance of the State with Annex 17 Standards and security-related provisions of Annex 9.
