  • Meet Kantaras new Executive Director, Kay Chopard Lets Talk about Digital Identity

    Kay explores why identity is so critical in so many applications; her hope for more promotion of Kantaras great work and to advance opportunities for collaboration; Kantaras new mobile drivers licenses (mDLs) work group; Women in Identity and the problem of lack of diversity in standards working groups; and why access and inclusion is one of the biggest challenges facing identity today.

  • Verifiable Driver's Licenses and ISO-18013-5 (mDL) Manu Sporny (Monday, 29 November)

    Spruce, MATTR, and Digital Bazaar have collaborated on creating an interoperability test suite for something we're calling the "Verifiable Driver's License" (temporary name):

  • The test suite demonstrates that a few things are possible in addition to what mDL provides:
    1. The mDL data model can be expressed cleanly using W3C Verifiable Credentials
  • "Apple launches the first drivers license and state ID in Wallet with Arizona” Liam McCarty (Wednesday, 23 March)

    Its sad and frustrating that this isnt based on verifiable credentials… it appears vendor lock in is going to be hard to prevent.

    For anyone who missed the November coverage about this, heres a pretty outrageous CNBC article: "Apple is sticking taxpayers with part of the bill for rollout of tech giant's digital ID card

  • Mike Jones shares that CBOR (Concise Binary Object Representation)  is officially a specification at IETF - woohoo! and it is a key part of ISOs mDL standard (date fields must use it).

    The Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR), as specified in RFC 7049, is a data format whose design goals include the possibility of extremely small code size, fairly small message size, and extensibility without the need for version negotiation.

  • Working Group for Privacy Enhancing Mobile Credentials Kantara Initiative

    Clearly the use of a drivers license goes well beyond proving eligibility to drive a vehicle. It has become the de-facto standard for proving that you are who you say you are and are entitled to the product or service requested. An increasing number of states are adopting mobile ID systems to recognise and verify mobile credentials including drivers licenses (mDL).

  • Kantara Releases Report on Identity and Privacy Protection For mobile Drivers Licenses

    The report outlines how to implement mDL systems as Privacy Enhancing Technologies. It provides guidance on protecting peoples individual privacy and the digital identifiers of an individual who carries or uses an mDL.

  • Kantara lays out trust-building recommendations for mDLs

    A global digital ID association has published steps vendors and others need to take in order to build effective mobile driving license services that also put ID holders in control of their identity. The Kantara Initiatives report starts from the premise that trust in mobile driving licenses grows with the degree of control that license holders have over the documents, their privacy and

  • Mobile Drivers Licence (mDL) VS. Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) INATBA

The ISO mDL specification (ISO-compliant Driving License or IDL)  is purpose driven, as its name implies, but is said to be specifically intended to:

  • enable verifiers not affiliated with or associated with the issuing authority to gain access to and authenticate the information
  • allow the holder of the driving license to decide what information to release to a verifier
  • include the ability to update information frequently, and to authenticate information at a high level of confidence.

Next week we are hosting two community calls to collect input for the project On Sept 27th in Asia morning time and on Sept 27th in US morning time.

  • “Decentralised Identity: Whats at Stake?”. ← earlier paper

    Looking at the above comparison, It is clear that both approaches strive to maintain user control of their personal data, selective disclosure/data minimization, and cryptographic methods to prove the integrity of identity claims. The differences are: first in their reliance (mDL) or independence (SSI) from issuer involvement in verification interactions, and second in their cryptographic approach, where the mDL relies on externally provided cryptographic tools while SSI builds on holder controlled private keys

  • An Identity Wallet Bill of Rights - Starting With the Mobile Driver License Spruce Systems

Spruces continued mission is to let users control their data across the web, whether its web2, web3, or beyond. This also applies to credentials issued by existing entities, such as the Mobile Driver License (mDL) issued by motor vehicle authorities across the world.
