Compared with the traditional passport, the electronic passport has an intelligent chip, which is used to store the digital personal data such as the applicant's fingerprint and signature, and the digital signature technology is used to protect the stored personal data, which improves the anti-counterfeiting and security performance of the passport and is of great significance to facilitate the international travel of China citizens.
2. Different designs:
The electronic ordinary passport adopts the pattern elements with the theme of "Brilliant China", and adopts three patterns of constant light, fluorescence and watermark to express the theme.
Among them, 365,438+0 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan provinces were selected as the elements with regional representation in the design of Chang Guang fluorescent patterns, which were connected by elements of Theory of Three Represents's national image such as Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall and the Temple of Heaven.
The whole pattern design is magnificent and profound, which not only shows the natural features of China, but also shows the long history and culture of China and the spiritual concept of harmony and unity of the Chinese nation.
3. Safety improvement:
Compared with ordinary passports, the biggest feature of e-passports is security. E-passport adopts high-security smart card chip which meets the relevant standards of ICAO, and uses asymmetric cryptography technology with high security strength to protect chip data, thus ensuring the digital anti-counterfeiting performance of ordinary e-passport.
In terms of physical anti-counterfeiting, e-passports adopt many anti-counterfeiting technologies, such as special-shaped color separation, glossy ink, laser drilling, high-resolution holography and so on, which improves the physical anti-counterfeiting level of ordinary e-passports. Through the above measures, it can effectively prevent the occurrence of forged or altered passports and protect the legitimate rights and interests of holders.
