Overview:

Electronic versions of passports and other government-issued identification documents use an Integrated Circuit (IC) or chip to establish a digital link between the holder and personal biometric information, such as a digitized photo, fingerprint or iris image. Designed to enhance border, physical and IT security, electronic chips ensure that the person holding a passport or government document is the one to whom it was legitimately issued. The next generation ICs will employ an advanced embedded memory technology, called FRAM (Ferroelectric Random Access Memory), which considerably improves the speed and reliability of future smart, secure e-passports and government ID documents. More than 50 countries have electronic passport (e-passport) programs, and many countries are also putting in place more secure forms of electronic citizen, visitor and government employee identification.
