PROGRAM:
NAME
mrtdreader - Reader for machine-readable travel documents (MRTDs / passports)
SYNOPSIS
mrtdreader [options] <MRZ>
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the mrtdreader command.
mrtdreader is a program which takes as input the content of the Machine-readable zone
(MRZ) of Machine-readable travel documents (MRTD) and then reads out some data from the
MRTD via RFID/NFC and dumps the facial image to a file.
MRTDs such as passports nowadays usually contain an RFID chip for storing various data.
The Basic Access Control (BAC) scheme is supported via the library libmrtd and mrtdreader
is the example program delivered together with libmrtd. It uses several cryptographic
functions in order to do the necessary decryption of the content of the MRTDs. The key for
the BAC-scheme is derived from the Machine-readable zone (MRZ) which is printed on the
MRTD.
OPTIONS
If the MRZ is specified on the command line, the following options are ignored. If the MRZ
is not specified, all the three following options must be specified and the MRZ will be
