What is ISO/IEC 18013-5?

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.

Blerify’s modular verification infrastructure is built to align with the principles and technical requirements of the ISO/IEC 18013-5 standard.

Our technology enables the creation, management, and verification of secure, verifiable credentials that meet global interoperability and security needs.

Key Points of Alignment:

1. Verifiable and Secure Credentials:

   • Blerify leverages blockchain technology and cryptographic methods to ensure credentials are tamper-proof and verifiable, in line with ISO 18013-5’s emphasis on data integrity and trust.

2. Selective Disclosure:

   • With Blerify, users have control over their credentials. They can share only the necessary information, such as confirming their age or access permissions, without revealing sensitive data.

3. Global Interoperability:

   • Blerify’s wallet-based ecosystem supports online and offline credential verification, enabling global compatibility in line with ISO requirements.

4. Secure Communication Channels:

   • Blerify supports credential sharing through QR codes and other secure mechanisms, ensuring a frictionless user experience during credential validation.

5. Use Case Expansion:

   • While ISO/IEC 18013-5 focuses on mDLs, Blerify extends these principles to other digital identity use cases, including educational credentials, membership IDs, vouchers, and benefits, offering a versatile solution for various sectors.
