The GlobalTester Product Family

Thank you for using GlobalTester. GlobalTester provides a platform to manage testing and analysis of smart cards and e-passport applications.

GlobalTester is delivered as a set of plug-ins for the popular Eclipse platform and allows the execution of a set of test scripts structured with XML and defined using Java Script. It is based on Open Source projects such as Smart Card Shell and supports the GlobalPlatform standard. For a full overview of additional GlobalTester products please visit https:www.globaltester.org.

The GT Prove ePP allows organisations to test e-passports for conformity with the latest conformity testing standards. With GT Prove ePP, users can prove the conformance of electronic passports according to ICAO RF Protocol and Application Test Standard for e-Passports, part 3 and AFNOR/BSI EAC test specifications.

GT Prove ePP test software incorporates an ISO 14443 reader simulator device, an EAC passport API software and a script based test suite. The EAC passport API together with a test reader device simulates an inspection system and provides all cryptographic functions to read any e-passport. The test scripts can be executed in an automatic batch process or individually.

GT Prove ePA is a test tool designed for testing EAC 2.0 applications on the German electronic ID card. The EAC 2.0 or EACv2 protocol standard is a further development of the EAC or EACv1 standard, which is already applied to electronic passports worldwide. GT Prove ePA was the first test tool for conformance testing of the new electronic ID card in Germany to assure error-free functioning and interoperability. the technical guidelines BSI TR-03105 Part 3.3 and Part 3.4, issued by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), are the basis for the conformity test.

GT Prove ePA is comprised of two modules. The ePA conformity test software implements the tests on layer 6 (smart card OS) and layer 7 (application data) in JavaScript form. An EAC 2.0 API simulates the EAC 2.0-specific cryptographic functions of a reading device in accordance with technical guideline BSI TR-03110.

The GT Prove IS enables users to prove the conformance of e-passport inspection systems with the international standards for electronic passports. Incorporating the world's first real-time EAC passport simulator, the GT Prove IS provides users with a high-performance, reliable and extensible test tool for e-passport inspection systems worldwide.

With GT Prove IS, users can now prove the conformance of inspection systems according to TR-03105 part 5. This test tool incorporates an ISO 14443 card simulator device, EAC passport simulator software and a script-based test suite. The EAC passport simulator works as a unique “golden reference”. The test scripts can be executed in an automatic batch process or individually. The scripting language provides full transparency to the test engineer and is flexible to be able to add user-specific test cases quickly.

The GT Prove ePA Reader is a conformity test tool and automation framework that has been developed for testing the eID card readers (EAC readers) for the German electronic ID card (ePA), which was launched November 1, 2010.
The EAC 2.0 protocol standard used here is a further development of the EAC standard that is already in use for e-passports worldwide. The GT Prove ePA Reader was the first available test tool for this conformity test. Conformance testing is essential to assure error-free functioning and interoperability of the new eID cards and related reader infrastructure. The test tool is based on the technical guideline TR-03105 Part 5.2 issued by the BSI for testing the conformity of eID cards and eSign-compliant eID card reader systems with EAC 2.

The GT Prove ePA Reader consists of three modules. The conformity tests for ePA readers are implemented on the application level, layers 6 and 7, in JavaScript form. An EAC 2.0 API simulates the EAC 2.0-specific cryptographic functions of an eID card in accordance with BSI TR-03110 and TR-03119.

The GT Prove eID client test tool consists of two modules. The eID client conformity test software implements the tests from BSI TR-03105 in JavaScript form. An EAC2 API, the PersoSim (link is external) simulator, simulates the complete functionality of the electronic ID card including specific cryptographic functions in accordance with BSI technical guidelines TR-03110 and TR-03119. Like all GT products, the GT Prove eID Client test tool uses the free GT TestManager open source test automation framework. GT Prove eID Cient is licensed via a GlobalTester service agreement. Thanks to the comprehensive service package, our clients can rest assured that their eID client tests meet the current requirements of the BSI.
