Abstract

The latest generation Estonian ID card introduced in the December 2018 has a contactless interface that can be used to communicate with the card via near-field communication (NFC). This thesis describes the cryptographic protocol that is used to communicate over the contactless interface and provides detailed instructions with code examples in Python to help software developers to create applications that can make use of this new NFC interface on Estonian ID card.
