Electronic Passport Deployment in Spain

The Ministry of Interior of the Spanish Government is in charge of issuing, through Police Headquarters and Police Stations, the ordinary Spanish passport, which is a public document, personal, individual and non-transferable. The events of September 11th, 2001 in the United States of America have accelerated the adoption of global measures to improve security and complicate the forgery of the traditional passport. Safelayer KeyOne family products already implement the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) issuing the electronic National Identification Document (DNI-e).
