📋 Tender Overview
The Secure Technology Alliance is recognizing the International Organization for Standardization ISO on the publication of the ISOIEC 18013-5 International standard Personal Identification Mobile Drivers License mDL. This global mDL standard is the culmination of more than six years of meticulous development by Secure Technology Alliance members the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators AAMVA and other regional authority issuers technology providers and relying parties.ISOIEC 18013-5 for mobile drivers licenses is a critical benchmark in the advancement of mDL use. The standard establishes essential clear guidance and secure interoperable interface specifications for the implementation and adoption of mDLs and mobile IDs. The ISO standard publication clears the way for global ID and drivers license issuers to confidently deploy mDL solutions and for verifiers around the world to implement or adopt mDL readers.The completion of ISOs highly anticipated standard supports the Alliances mission to emphasize the benefits of mobile drivers licenses to a wider audience. mDLs enhance authentication security reduce the use of expired or fraudulent IDs facilitate safe transactions and greatly enhance individual privacy through data minimization and reduction in the exchange of personal information. For several years the Alliance has worked to accelerate the adoption of mDL through educational webinars white papers the Alliances mDL Connection website and the Alliances first-of-its-kind mDL implementation tracker map.The release of the standard removes the most significant road-block to mDL issuance and adoption by defining best practices for the secure use of mDL in real-world settings said Jason Bohrer executive director of the Secure Technology Alliance. The Secure Technology Alliance recognizes this significant achievement and the dedicated efforts of the ISO committee AAMVA and members of the Secure Technology Alliance in the creation of the ISO standard.In light of ISOs new standard the Secure Technology Alliance invites stakeholders industry leaders and verifiers to attend an mDL Workshop on Nov 11th in Houston Texas following the U.S. Payments Forums Fall Member Meeting. The workshop will educate potential relying parties and accelerate mDL adoption through discussions on key technical considerations involving fraud privacy and certification an exchange of piloting and early adoption information and mDL technology demonstrations.ISOIEC 18013-5 for mobile drivers licenses is a dual-purpose standard that serves as a reference point for both mDL and mobile ID use cases. It offers the followingA comprehensive global standard for sharing identity document informationGuidance for authenticating the origin of mDL dataBest practices for verifying the integrity of mDL data with or without a network connectionPrivacy guidelines for issuing authorities and verifiers in the accompanying privacy annex with requirements for maximizing mDL holder privacyA protocol for securely sharing identity information across devices which supports multiple transmission technologies for maximum interoperability
