# pypassport-2.0
Taken from epassportviewer and added support for Dutch ECDSA Active Authentication. Not sure what the difference is between [this](https://github.com/andrew867/epassportviewer/tree/master/pypassport-2.0) 2.0 and the 1.0 of [Google Code](https://code.google.com/archive/p/pypassport/)

__Note: Also needs a modified version of python-ecdsa because of support for brainpoolp320r1, which can be found in [this pull request](https://github.com/warner/python-ecdsa/pull/61/commits/91140ad7b2840a97184fc31b0aac5b13c15bf22d)__
