It sets clear technical and security guidelines to ensure mobile licenses are **secure**, **trustworthy**, and **globally interoperable**.

The standard focuses on:

* **Data Authenticity and Integrity:** Ensures all credentials are verifiable and tamper-proof using cryptographic methods.
* **User Privacy and Control:** Supports **Selective Disclosure**, allowing individuals to share only the data required for specific transactions (e.g., age verification).
* **Global Compatibility:** Provides specifications for digital credentials to be recognized and validated both **online** and **offline** across borders.
* **Secure Communication:** Facilitates secure interactions using technologies like **NFC**, **Bluetooth**, and **QR codes**, ensuring seamless verification processes.

With ISO/IEC 18013-5, governments, organizations, and developers have a unified standard for building digital identity solutions that are reliable, private, and universally accepted.
