Philips wins German passport wireless chip deal
Dutch Philips Electronics said on Thursday it will supply the German passport printing authority with wireless chips for the new smart passports for the country's 80 million citizens.
"Based on sophisticated encryption technology, the highly secure chip will be used to hold personal information on the passport holder, reducing fraud and forgery of travel documents and increasing security for travelers. Philips is the first volume supplier of such chips for smart passports," it said in a statement.
