Machine Readable Travel Documents

While hunting for info about file systems on Java Card I came across this very useful reference implementation of the ICAO MRTD standard by Radboud Uni. It demonstrates (among other things) how to wrap and unwrap SCP02 protected APDUs and how to chain object and byte arrays into a very rudimentary file system (see FileSystem.java).

"CPLC data is Visa proprietary. At the beginning (OP 2.0.1) they
used to maintain a list for all the tags, but not anymore. "

I think it might be a problem with your connection or browser, since I can download the .zips without any trouble.

I haven't heard anything about the CPLC data becoming open source or accessible to the public. Feel free to share more info about this if you find it.
