MOBILE CHIP SDK Offline
The MOBILE CHIP SDK offline enables reading and verification of electronic passports and ID cards (eMRTDs) directly on the device, with no server required. The entire process (NFC chip reading, Passive Authentication, Active Authentication, and Chip Authentication) runs locally.
When to Use Offline vs. Online
The key difference between MOBILE CHIP SDK online and offline is the trust model:
MOBILE CHIP SDK offline is designed for trusted devices that are under your organization's control. The entire reading and verification process happens locally on the device, with no server required.
MOBILE CHIP SDK online is designed for scenarios where the client device cannot be trusted. The device is outside of your control, for example an end user's personal smartphone. Because the device could be compromised, the security-critical verification steps (Passive Authentication, Active Authentication, Chip Authentication) are performed on the DocVal Server, ensuring that a manipulated client cannot forge verification results.
