JMRTD and ISODL

JMRTD and ISODL are two open source projects that are using the cert-cvc library available in EJBCA. Cert-cvc was created for handling the CVC certificates used for EU EAC ePassports. The ISODL project uses the library, slightly modified, to handle CVC certificates used for driving licenses. JMRTD has build a complete library for handling the different parts of ePassports, not only EAC. Using JMRTD for example we built a MRTD SO signer in SignServer, that takes data group hashes and returns a finished signed SO(d).

Open source is great!
