Introduction
Kensington
Security Slot
Also called a K-Slot or Kensington lock, is a small hole found on
almost all small or portable computer and electronics equipment,
particularly on expensive and relatively light ones. It is used for
attaching a lock, in particular those from Kensington Computer
Products Group, who are its originators.
Locks are generally secured in place with a key or some
mechanical PIN device and attached through a rubberized metal
cable. The end of the cable has a small loop which allows the
whole cable to be looped around a permanent object, such as a
heavy table or other similar equipment, thus securing it in place.
LED
Light Emitting Diode.
Semiconductor which emits light if connected to voltage.
MRTD
General Term for all Machine Readable Travel Documents.
Official document issued by a State or organisation which
conforms to ICAO Doc 9303 specifications and which is used by
the holder for international travel (e.g. passport, visa, MRtd) and
which contains mandatory eye readable data and a separate
mandatory data summary in a format which is capable of being
read by machine..
MRZ
Machine Readable Zone.
Fixed dimensional area located on the MRTD, containing
mandatory and optional data formatted for machine reading
using OCR methods.
OCR
Optical Character Recognition.
It is the mechanical or electronic translation of images of
handwritten or typewritten text on paper into machine-editable
text. It is scanned with a computer (NCI) and converted to an
editable text document (CI). OCR is already being used widely in
the legal profession, where searches that once required hours or
days can now be accomplished in a few seconds.
OCR-font
OCR font is the term given to a set of special typeface style
developed for Optical Character Readers and Optical Character
Recognition software. Each character within a font will have a
defined reproducible size and shape. For OCR, these are defined
by ISO 1073-II and although use of OCR-B is preferred.
OCR fonts are standardized and designed to be both machine
and human readable. Some examples of OCR implementations
include bank checks, passports, serial labels and postal mail.
RFID
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a method of identifying
unique items using radio waves. Typically, a reader
communicates with a tag, which holds digital information in a
microchip. But there are chipless forms of RFID tags that use
material to reflect back a portion of the radio waves beamed at
them. As well as the standard passport data already included,
this can also be used to store biometric features. The basic
technical specifications of the RF chip for use in passports have
been standardized by the ICAO.
