U.S. taps Entrust for e-passports
Alorie Gilbert writes in C|Net News:
The U.S. State Department is assembling the technology for the new e-passport, selecting tools from Entrust to help ensure the authenticity of the next-generation document.
The contract, which Entrust announced on Wednesday, calls on the Dallas company to supply a key component in a government plan to introduce new U.S. passports this year. The passports will contain an identification chip, and the State Department will use Entrust software to stamp each ID chip with a tamper-proof digital code, or digital signature, the company said.
