MRTD Labs offers security testing for NFC passport and identity-card readers, including mobile apps and standalone devices.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-17 issue.

For: NFC passport-reader and identity-verification teams
Worth noticing: The proposed assessment is a focused one-week test with reproducible findings and concrete remediation recommendations.

Field notes

The service description separates document-data integrity checks from attempts to defeat chip challenge-response, and adds an architecture review of remote-verification trust boundaries. It names SOD and data-group manipulation among the test cases, and says the same attacks are applied whether a reader runs in a mobile app or as a standalone device.
