🪪ISO mDL
Libraries for working with the ISO/IEC 18013-5 Mobile Driving License (mDL) Application
What is ISO mDL?
ISO/IEC 18013 establishes a series of guidelines for the design format and data content of an ISO-compliant driving license (IDL).
ISO/IEC 18013-5 is an international standard that defines the framework for mobile driver's licenses (mDLs).
Purpose: The standard aims to establish a secure, interoperable format for storing and presenting driver's license information on mobile devices.
Digital identity: It enables the creation of a digital version of a physical driver's license that can be stored on a smartphone or other mobile device.
Security features: The standard includes cryptographic protocols to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the digital license data.
Privacy protection: It incorporates mechanisms to allow users to selectively share only necessary information, enhancing privacy compared to physical licenses.
Verification process: The standard defines how verifiers (e.g., law enforcement, age-restricted venues) can securely request and receive license information from the mobile device.
Interoperability: By establishing a common framework, it aims to ensure mDLs can be recognized and verified across different jurisdictions and systems.
Technology independence: While it defines the data structures and protocols, it allows for implementation using various technologies like NFC, Bluetooth, or QR codes.
Offline capability: The standard includes provisions for offline verification in situations where network connectivity isn't available.
