The Malaysian e-Passport is an international travel document which features microchip technology. An integrated chip within its polycarbonate biodata page contains the data to verify the passport holder’s identity. The chip is secured with security algorithms to ensure the data is genuine and authentic.
The chip can be read and verified with special passport readers which comply to ICAO 9303 specification at any automatic border control system; i.e. electronic autogate. The e-Passport also employs electronic security implementation such as Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) as part of the security features in the chip.
