1-5IntroductionKensingtonSecurity Slot Also called a K-Slot or Kensington lock, is a small hole found on almost all small or portable computer and electronics equipment, particularly on expensive and relatively light ones. It is used for attaching a lock, in particular those from Kensington Computer Products Group, who are its originators.Locks are generally secured in place with a key or some mechanical PIN device and attached through a rubberized metal cable. The end of the cable has a small loop which allows the whole cable to be looped around a permanent object, such as a heavy table or other similar equipment, thus securing it in place.LED Light Emitting Diode.Semiconductor which emits light if connected to voltage.MRTD General Term for all Machine Readable Travel Documents.Official document issued by a State or organization which conforms to ICAO Doc 9303 specifications and which is used by the holder for international travel (e.g. Passport, Visa, MRTD, ID cards) and which contains mandatory eye readable data and a separate mandatory data summary in a format which is capable of being read by machine.MRZ Machine Readable Zone.Fixed dimensional area located on the MRTD, containing mandatory and optional data formatted for machine reading using OCR methods.OCR Optical Character Recognition.It is the mechanical or electronic translation of images of handwritten or typewritten text on paper into machine-editable text. It is scanned with a computer (NCI) and converted to an editable text document (CI). OCR is already being used widely in the legal profession, where searches that once required hours or days can now be accomplished in a few seconds.OCR-font OCR font is the term given to a set of special typeface style developed for Optical Character Readers and Optical Character Recognition software. Each character within a font will have a defined reproducible size and shape. For OCR, these are defined by ISO 1073-II and OCR-B is preferred.OCR fonts are standardized and designed to be both machine and human readable. Some examples of OCR implementations include bank checks, passports, serial labels and postal mail.RFID or RF Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a method of identifying unique items using radio waves. Typically, a reader communicates with a tag, which holds digital information in a microchip. But there are chipless forms of RFID tags that use material to reflect back a portion of the radio waves beamed at them. As well as the standard passport data already included, this can also be used to store biometric features. The basic technical specifications of the RF chip for use in passports have been standardized by the ICAO.RMA A Return Merchandise Authorization or Return Material Authorization is a transaction whereby the recipient of a product arranges to return goods to the supplier to have the product repaired or replaced or in order to receive a refund or credit for another product from the same retailer or corporation.Smart Card A Smart Card, chip card, or integrated circuit card (ICC), is defined as any pocket-sized card with embedded integrated circuits which can process information. The card is made of plastic, generally PVC, but sometimes ABS or polycarbonate. The card may embed a hologram or other security features to avoid counterfeiting. Smart Cards are defined according to the card data read and wright features and the type of chip implanted within the card. There is a wide range of options.The most common type of Smart Card is the contact Smart Card where electrical contacts located on the outside of the card connect to a card reader when the card is inserted. Contact Smart Cards are standardized in ISO/IEC 7816.Contactless Smart Cards employ a radio frequency (RFID) between card and reader without physical insertion of the card. Instead the card is passed along the exterior of the reader and read. Contactless Smart Cards are standardized in ISO/IEC 14443.Table 1.1Glossary of termsTerm Definition

3-13Chapter 0How to use the D SCANAuthenticatorTHIS CHAPTER DESCRIBES THE FIELDS OF APPLICATION, THE CHARACTERISTICS OF DOCUMENTS AND HOW TO READ A DOCUMENT WITH THE D SCAN AUTHENTICATOR USING THE D SCAN EXTENSIONS DEMO APPLICATION.Applications and software levelsThe D SCAN AUTHENTICATOR is available with two software levels, the D SCAN Essentials and D SCAN Extensions to allow easy integration into existing systems on different levels of completeness. Each software level exists as a runtime license and an SDK license.The D SCAN Essentials runtime software is provided for every document reader. The software is necessary to access D SCAN Authenticator devices on a fundamental functional level. This applies for high level document authentication software from D SCAN Extensions series as well as for direct device access by system integrators.D SCAN Essentials software allows low level access to the device: • USB driver• Illumination selection and turn on/off, image capturing, RFID reader access on APDU (Application Protocol Data Unit) level• Human interface control (buzzer and status LEDs)• Optional SDK recommended for system integrators with experience in document processing.D SCAN Extensions software allows high level functionality:• Business method level to access images• Verification of security features and RFID access on data group level• OCR functionality and internal implementations of cryptographic protocols• ICAO Doc 9303 default document definitionOptional SDK with tools for the implementation of protocols like BAC, EAC, PA, and AA.Using the D SCAN Extensions software and/or additional customized functions the following main applications, without the demand of completeness are:Airports• Airline check-in and boarding, automated check-in• ID verification at the time of check-in• Creation of reference data for passenger tracking• Faster, more precise and more efficient passenger handlingRental car companies• Check-in• Verification of ID documents• Verification of driver’s licenses• Automated check-in for pre-registered customersBanks

This includes the structure, font, and location of the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ), MRZ check digits, and some UV properties of the document paper to be used. With the D SCAN Extensions software, these features are always checked. Images in all available illuminations are always captured accordance with the installed hardware options.The default document recognition and check software works with ICAO 9303 compliant documents of ID1, ID2, and ID3 format. A machine readable zone (MRZ) must be exactly as specified in Doc 9303, with special attention to the OCR-B font.Additionally, documents, which are not compliant with ICAO specifications, can be detected and can be taught to the system on request.The machine readable zoneThe ICAO Doc 9303 standard defines the Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) of any Machine Readable Travel Document (MRTD). The position and dimensions of the MRZ is different for every document type (e.g Passport, Visa, ID Card). The certain definition for each document type can be found in ICAO Doc 9303. As an example the MRZ for an Passport according to the ICAO Doc 9303 standard is illustrated in the following graphic:• 23.2 mm (0.91 in) height from the lower edge of the document• Over the total width of the document• It spans two lines and each line is 44 characters long

3-3Figure 3.1The machine readable zoneThe document support area of the D SCAN Authenticator goes beyond the ICAO-MRZ. In customer specific applications, it is also possible to read zones outside the MRZ of documents which do not meet the requirements of ICAO Doc 9303 as long as the physical conditions (font, size, printing quality, lamination, etc.) of the document to be inspected allow this.Position the documentsAn instruction symbol (1) on the right side provides principle information for the user how to place a document on the document support area. The correct final position is along the right (R) and the back (B) part of the document support area.Figure 3.2Instruction symbol1Put the data page face down on the document support area.2Move the document along the right part of the document support area until it stops. The document slips beneath the document holder (2) that keeps the document in position during the reading process.
