The AT90SC12872RCFT complies with the new International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) specifications for e-passports. With this secure microcontroller embedded in a page or the cover of the e-passport, the owner's personal information, such as biometrics data, will be securely processed and stored. Communication with such a machine-readable passport during border controls will be contactless according to ISO/IEC 14443 standard.

The face page of the Hungarian passports ("Útlevél" in Hungarian, lit. "Roadletter") is in Hungarian only, though on the inside there is a second, Hungarian-English bilingual page mentioning "Passport" as well. The personal information page offers Hungarian, English and French explanation for the details. An additional page including the explanations in English, French, Chinese, Russian, Spanish and Arabic has been added in recent years.

Because of the sensitivity of this personal information (e.g., digitized photographs, fingerprints or other biometrics) the security and integrity of e-passports are critical. To protect these assets, PKI is an integral technology for the security and verification infrastructure of e-passports.
