  6. DCFWG questions 1. How can presence of chip be indicated in MRZ? - Least disruption - Backwards compatibility 2. How can MRZ reading be made more accurate & reliable?

  7. MRZ layout Coloured fields have limited error detection Document Type Country of Issue Name P<USATRAVELER<<HAPPY<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< USAM 150000003 5 150000003 5 560916 5 560916 5 081115 0 081115 0 <<<<<<<<<<<< 0 <<<<<<<<<<<< 0 8 8 Sex Check Digit Check Digit Date of Birth Date of Expiry Check Digit Check Digit Optional Data Document Number Country of Citizenship Overall Check Digit Uncoloured fields have NO error detection

  8. Proposal by DCFWG: Mandatory adoption of a new MRZ check character scheme and version identifier. (i) identify the MRP as an e-Passport (ii) overcome the limitations of the present check digit scheme (iii) make the OCR reading more secure (iv) open the way for future improvements of the MRZ by introducing a version identifier

  9. Version identifier & check characters First version: number “1” Document Type Country of Issue Three check characters: “XXX” Name P<USATRAVELER<<HAPPY<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 150000003 5 USA5609165M 081115 0 <<<<<<<<<<<< 0 8 Sex Check Digit Check Digit Date of Birth Date of Expiry Check Digit Check Digit Check Digit Optional Data Document Number Country of Citizenship Where?

  10. Check characters - calculation 1. All MRZ characters (=85, less 3 positions check characters occupy!) 2. Convert alpha: ‘A’=10, ‘B’=11...’Z’=35,’<‘=36 25,36,30,28,10,29,27,10,31,14,21,14,27,36,36,17,10,25,25,34,36,36........ P<USATRAVELER<<HAPPY<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 1500000035USA5609165M0811150<<<<<<<<<<<<<<08 P<USATRAVELER<<HAPPY<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< USA M <<<<<<<<<<<<<< 30,28,10 22 36,36,36,36,36........ 3. CC1 = (25+36+30+28+.......+8) modulus 37 = 30 => U 4. CC2 = (25x1+36x2+30x3+..+8x85) modulus 37 = 8 => 8 5. CC3 = (25x1+36x1+30x1+..+36x2+36x2+..+0x3+8x3) modulus 37 = 25 => P New check characters are ‘U8P’

  11. Check characters - properties 1. Reliably identify up to 3 errors if positions unknown 2. Correct 1 error if position unknown 3. Correct 2 errors if positions known P<USATRAVFLER<<HAPPV<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 1500000O35USA5609165M0811150<<<<<<<<<<<<<<08 P<USATRAVELER<<HAPPY<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 1500000035U5A5609165M0811750<<<<<<<<<<<<<<08 P<USATRAVELER<<HAPPY<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 1500000035USA5609165M0811150<<<<<<<<<<<<<<08 P<USATRAVELER<<HAPPY<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 1500000035USA5609165M0811150<<<<<<<<<<<<<<08 P<USATRAVELER<<HAPPY<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 1500000035USA5609165M0811150<<<<<<<<<<<<<<08 P<USATRAVELER<<HAPPV<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 1500000035USA5609165M0811150<<<<<<<<<<<<<<08 P<USATRAVELER<<HAPPY<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 1500000035U5A5609165M0811750<<<<<<<<<<<<<<08 P<USATRAVELER<<HAPPY<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 1500000035USA5609165M0811150<<<<<<<<<<<<<<08 P<USATRAVELER<<HAPPV<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 1500000035USA5609165M0811150<<<<<<<<<<<<<<08 P<USATRAVFLER<<HAPPV<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< 1500000O35USA5609165M0811150<<<<<<<<<<<<<<08
