What is ISO/IEC 18013-5 about?
ISO/IEC 18013-5 establishes interface specifications for the implementation of a driving licence in association with a mobile device.
ISO/IEC 18013-5 specifies the interface between the mDL and Mdl reader and the interface between the mDL reader and the issuing authority infrastructure.
ISO/IEC 18013-5 enables parties other than the issuing authority (e.g., other issuing authorities, or mDL verifiers in other countries) to:
- Use a machine to obtain the mDL data
- Tie the mDL to the mDL holder
- Authenticate the origin of the mDL data
- Verify the integrity of the mDL data
Who is ISO/IEC 18013-5 for?
ISO/IEC 18013-5 on mobile driving license (mDL) application is useful for:
- Traffic management department
- Consumers
- Government authorities
Why should you use ISO/IEC 18013-5?
ISO/IEC 18013-5 establishes guidelines for the design format and data content of an ISO compliant driving licence (IDL) about human-readable features (ISO/IEC 18013-1), ISO machine-readable technologies (ISO/IEC 18013-2), access control, authentication and integrity validation (ISO/IEC 18013-3), and associated test methods (ISO/IEC 18013-4).
ISO/IEC 18013-5 creates a common basis for international use and mutual recognition of the IDL without impeding individual countries/ states in applying their privacy rules and national/community/regional motor vehicle authorities in taking care of their specific needs. ISO/IEC 18013-5 describes the interface and related requirements to facilitate ISO-compliant driving license (IDL) functionality on a mobile device. The requirements are specifically intended to enable verifiers not affiliated with or associated with the issuing authority to gain access to and authenticate the information.
In addition, the requirements allow the holder of the driving licence to decide what information to release to a verifier. A mobile document conforming to ISO/IEC 18013-5 primarily conveys the driving privileges associated with a person. ISO/IEC 18013-5 does so by providing means to associate the person presenting the mobile document with the mobile document itself. The transaction and security mechanisms in ISO/IEC 18013-5 have been designed to support other types of mobile documents, specifically including identification documents. Consequently, the mechanisms in ISO/IEC 18013-5 can be used for any type of mobile identification document, regardless of the additional attributes the mobile document may convey. The details of the data elements to be used by other mobile documents are left to the respective issuing authority.
