Mobile SDK
Document Validation Server (optional - ideally as a customer-based on-premise solution)

Features:

• fully offline "on device"
• mobile device can read data (machine readable zone, photograph asf.)
• mobile device can verify integrity and authenticity of the data
• mobile device can ascertain that the chip was not cloned (if and when supported by the respective passport)

If the mobile device is not trustworty, there is an alternative solution at hand:
FULL SERVER VERIFICATION (on-premise) WITH eMRTD CONNECTOR

Applications:
The eMRTD Connector is the ideal solution for any situation where data capturing, data authenticity verification or chip authenticity verification are required by a server, but the client device is not trustworthy. A primary example are Know-Your-Customer applications.
