The file system allows the creation of pre-configured applications that provide data groups within the application. Access to these data groups can be according to one of three modes: completely open ("LDS" according to the Logical Data Structure defined in ICAO document 9303), protected with Basic Access Control and Secure Messaging ("BAC" as defined in ICAO document 9303). A third configuration provides an additional mechanism to update data groups after issuing the electronic document to the holder as well as a feature to protect against cloning. These additional features make Smart eID particularly useful for ID cards, driving licences, and other eGovernment applications. Compliance to existing MRTD (Machine Readable Travel Document) inspection equipment can be obtained by configuration settings according to ICAO document 9303. For driving licence applications, it can be configured to comply with ISO/IEC 18013-3, using BAP (Basic Access Protocol) security in configuration 1.
