The future of digital credentials

mDocs

mDocs are based on the ISO/IEC 18013 technical specification series (which standardises Mobile Drivers Licenses, mDLs) while implementing the same underlying technology to create various types of mobile documents, as per ISO/IEC 23220.
Different industries are already collaborating to address specific use cases and requirements that will soon become commonly used credentials – use mDocs to stay ahead of the curve.

By aligning ourselves with these benchmarks of excellence, we guarantee that our security measures are continuously refined, audited, and validated, providing you with the confidence that your digital trust needs are in capable hands.

Capabilities

Verifiers can authenticate the origin of a credential via a chain of certificates linked within the credential itself, all the way to its root certificate.

Credentials are bound to a mobile device and enable verifying the binding between a credential and the mobile device used to present it.

Credentials can include a portrait picture of their holder, enabling the verifier to compare it with the person presenting them in person. This can be performed manually or using facial recognition technologies.

Credentials can be verified via both in-person and remote verification workflows, with support for both same-device and cross-device flows.

Credentials enable holders to present only specific parts of their credentials to verifiers, based on the content of the request.

Session-based encryption/decryption keys are established to secure both in-person and remote interactions.

Issuers can adjust credential revocation status, and that information can be consumed by verifiers and other relying parties.

Underlying standards

mDocs adhere to ISO/IEC and other relevant standards to ensure global compatibility and reliability:

ISO/IEC 18013-5
Mobile Driving Licenses (mDLs)
ISO/IEC TS 18013-7 
Online presentation of mDLs

Secure and interoperable

JSON credentials

JSON credentials are built on the W3C Verifiable Credential (VC) data model, enabling cryptographically secure digital credentials to be used in various interactions. This model supports a trust data-sharing framework, where signed and linked data can be used to establish trust across various contexts.

Capabilities

Credentials can be stored in a registry that serves as an underlying infrastructure for creating a Verifiable Organization Network (VON).

Credentials enable holders to present only specific parts of their credentials to verifiers, based on the content of the request.

Issuers can adjust credential revocation status, and that information can be consumed by verifiers and other relying parties.

Compact and flexible

CBOR Web Tokens

CBOR Web Token (CWT) Credentials are used to represent cryptographically proven claims of data in a way that is compact enough to fit inside a QR code. They are ideal for scenarios requiring high information assurance but not necessarily high identity assurance about the entity presenting the credential.

Capabilities

Issuers can adjust credential revocation status, and that information can be consumed by verifiers and other relying parties.

Can be rendered as a QR code or PDF, as well as Apple and Google passes that can be stored in a digital wallet.

The credential payload is small enough to fit inside a QR code.

All information required for verification is self-contained within the QR code, with no need for complex presentation capabilities from the holder.

The credential payload is small enough to fit inside a QR code.

Ideal for rapid verification scenarios with and without reliable internet connectivity.
