The primary purposes of a driver’s license is to confirm identity and convey driving privileges. The ISO 18013-5 (mDL) standard provides a mechanism to obtain and trust the data from a mobile driver’s license (mDL). The integrity and authenticity of an mDL is protected through the use of cryptographic mechanisms and digital certificates managed by a public key infrastructure (PKI) under control of the department responsible for issuing the license, the issuing authority (IA).
