Gemalto ePassports for Cote d’Ivoire
|
Gemalto has clinched an exclusive five-year contract to deliver digital security
technology for Ivorian ePassports. Under the contract, Gemalto will supply
Sealys eTravel Inlays, the secure devices embedding its advanced secure
electronic passport software technology, to integrator Zetes. It will also
supply Sealys eTravel, a highly-secure OS with advanced cryptographic features
running on a large-capacity contactless microprocessor. Over one million passports are currently in use in Cote d’Ivoire and
the government intends to roll out the first electronic passports from June 2008
onwards, with a view to renewing them all by end-2009. The Ivorian authorities plan to incorporate the electronic capability in all new travel documents. |
