There are several new digital credentials-based standards emerging and they are all silos operating in specific environments and written for specific contexts. As such, there is a lack of foundational, strongly verifiable, and trustable digital credentials available to make transition to today’s mobile device platforms. NCCoE cybersecurity experts will address this challenge through collaboration with Issuing Authorities, digital identity solutions providers, Verifiers (also known as Relying Parties), and third-party trust service providers. This effort will enable participants to jointly demonstrate how solutions based on ISO/IEC 18013-5 and ISO/IEC 18013-7 can address specific real-world transactions, by disparate stakeholders, requiring digital identity. This effort will also enable more equitable, secure, and convenient commerce along with easier access to government services.
The NCCoE, in cooperation with industry / government agencies / academic institutions, will study, evaluate, implement, and test interoperability and security claims of the international standards, ISO/IEC 18013-5 (published), ISO/IEC 18013-7 (currently a working draft), and the ecosystem surrounding these standards. Specific outcomes of this project will be:
- An open-source reader reference implementation
- Demonstrations of mDL use cases
- Practice guide for implementing mDLs
Furthermore, there will be an Outreach and Engagement (O&E) effort that will champion, socialize, and help to spread the word externally with the goal of getting as much involvement as possible.
