ADSS ePassport Server is a modular software platform designed to issue, protect, and validate electronic passports (ePassports) and associated digital certificates. It provides a secure, standards-compliant Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to support machine-readable travel documents (MRTDs), passport issuance, and border control authentication. The solution is compliant with ICAO and EU requirements, supports X.509 and ISO 7816 certificates, and can be deployed as a new system or as a replacement for existing ePassport PKI. Its architecture enables high scalability, availability, and automation for national and international passport and border management projects.
