API Description

WebSocket API

The WebSocket endpoint ws1/validate reads and parses the SOD and DataGroups of an eMRTD and verifies their authenticity and integrity.
Additionally, "Chip not cloned" can be verified if the eMRTD supports either Active Authentication or Chip Authentication.

Features
✅ Parse the files (e.g. MRZ Info, Face Photo, …).
✅ Verify the authenticity and integrity of the files.
✅ Detect “cloned Chips” (if supported by the eMRTD).

👉 The Kinegram eMRTD Connector SDK Android / Kinegram eMRTD Connector SDK iOS can be used to enable access to the eMRTD.

LGPL Compliance

In order to comply with LGPL the JMRTD Library can be replaced, as shown in the example below. The Java application is located at path /app/documentvalidation.jar inside the container.

Remove the existing JMRTD library from the application:
$ zip -d documentvalidation.jar "BOOT-INF/lib/jmrtd-*.jar"
Insert the new jmrtd-*.jar using the Jar Tool:
$ jar u0f documentvalidation.jar "BOOT-INF/lib/jmrtd-0.7.33.jar"
