Biometric Passports, a talk by William Henderson

Abstract: 
In today's increasingly interconnected world, biometric passports play a vital role in facilitating efficient and secure international travel. This presentation explores the security and privacy implications of the biometric passport, discussing a number of vulnerabilities in the passport's security mechanisms, and demonstrating how even a compromised phone could carry out a successful attack. Finally, we will discuss the future of biometric passports and the concerning impact of new standards on personal privacy.
