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

AVSEC Page 16

MRTDs improve both facilitation and security

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.

AVSEC Page 23

PKD has 38 members and is growing

http://www.icao.int/Security/mrtd/Pages/icaoPKD.aspx

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

AVSEC Page 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.

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.
