The IDPass ePassport is implemented on a high performance chip which is by itself certified CC EAL6+ and supports both RSA (with key length of up to 4096 bits) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography – ECDSA (with key length of up to 521) and ECDH with key length of up to 256 bits), SHA-1, SHA-224 and SHA-256, answering the needs of the most demanding customers.
