International Civil Aviation Organization Public Key Directory

The International Civil Aviation Organization Public Key Directory (ICAO PKD) is a database maintained by the International Civil Aviation Organization holding national cryptographic keys related to the authentication of e-passport information.

The ICAO PKD content is open to the public, and can be downloaded for free at https://download.pkd.icao.int/.[1]

Participants

edit

The United Nations became the first non-state participant in October 2012, enabling issuing of e-UNLP, the electronic form of the United Nations laissez-passer.[2]

In December 2014, ICAO reported the PKD as having 45 participants.[3]

In 2015 the German Bundesdruckerei (German Federal Printing Office) won the request for tender of the ICAO to provide the ICAO PKD.[4]

In July 2017, ICAO reported the PKD as having 58 participants.[3]

As of November 2017, 60 participants were part of the ICAO PKD, with the European Union being the 60th member and at the same time the second non-state participant.[3]

As of November 2024, 100 participants were part of the ICAO PKD.[3]

Participation Fees

edit

Each ICAO PKD participant needs to pay a one-time registration fee and annual fees. The registration fee was USD 56,000 at first, and was reduced to USD 15,900 since March 2015.[5] The annual fee comprises two components: the ICAO portion and the PKD Operator portion. Every participant pays the same amount of annual fees.
