Norme de l'Organisation de l'aviation civile internationale (OACI) pour les documents de voyage à lecture automatique, incluant les spécifications de la puce ePassport.

  
  
ICAO Doc 9303 is the international standard for machine-readable travel documents, including the contactless chip embedded in the ePassport. It specifies the logical data structure, the printed machine-readable zone, and security mechanisms such as Basic and Extended Access Control that protect the holder's biometric data. Compliance lets automated border-control gates worldwide read and cryptographically verify a passport's authenticity.
