Personal identification - ISO-compliant driving licence - Considerations for early adopters of ISO/IEC 18013-7

This document specifies considerations that can be of use to implementers and developers that elect to participate in work around updates to ISO/IEC TS 18013-7. These considerations are intended to support the improvements, to maximize backward compatibility and to, at minimum, maintain the security and privacy properties already embodied in ISO/IEC TS 18013-7.

Overview

ISO/IEC TR 25219:2024 provides practical considerations for early adopters of ISO/IEC TS 18013-7 when implementing ISO-compliant driving licence (mDL) functionality. The Technical Report targets implementers and developers who participate in updates to TS 18013-7 and focuses on preserving the security, privacy and backward compatibility properties already established by the mDL family of standards.

This guidance explicitly supports convergence with emerging web-based digital credentials initiatives such as the W3C Web Platform Incubator Community Group (WIGC) digital credentials API while advising on interoperability with existing mDL mechanisms.

Key Topics

  • Wallet and app interoperability

    • Ensure the issuing authority can work with the wallet/app of choice where reasonable (for example, mainstream implementations such as those from the OpenWallet Foundation). Discretion is advised to avoid forcing support for niche wallets.
  • Presentation binding and replay protection

    • Protect against attackers forwarding engagement or request information by binding presentment to the originating request channel (see Clause 6.5 of ISO/IEC TS 18013-7).
  • Minimized reader requirements

    • Reduce the amount of information an mDL reader must provide to the digital credentials API to retrieve mdoc data, minimizing exposure of verifier-side data and lowering privacy risk.
  • Independent functional building blocks

    • Allow the mdoc reader to convey verifier identity and attestation information to the mdoc in a way functionally similar to the mdoc reader authentication certificate in ISO/IEC 18013-5.
    • For the digital credentials API, enable wallet selection and deliver payloads that allow continued use of existing ISO/IEC TS 18013-7 and ISO/IEC 18013-5 mechanisms with minimal changes.
    • Deliver and accept messages equivalent in function to the DeviceRequest and DeviceResponse constructs from ISO/IEC 18013-5, preserving doctype, namespace and field identifier concepts.
    • Implement application-layer encryption for mdoc responses using an asymmetric key algorithm to derive an ephemeral symmetric key; include the session transcript (per ISO/IEC TS 18013-7 and ISO/IEC 18013-5) in key derivation.

Applications

  • Governments and issuing authorities planning early mDL deployments
  • Wallet and operating system developers integrating digital credentials APIs
  • Verifier implementers seeking to maintain privacy certifications and authorization assertions

Practical value: TR 25219:2024 helps ensure that early deployments remain compatible with future updates, preserve existing trust and privacy guarantees, and interoperate with mainstream wallet ecosystems.

Related Standards

  • ISO/IEC TS 18013-7 - Mobile driving licence (mDL) add-on functions
  • ISO/IEC 18013-5 - mDL application and mdoc reader authentication concepts

Implementers should consult the referenced documents and the ISO/IEC Directives for normative guidance and updates. For terminology and definitions, refer to the ISO Online Browsing Platform and the IEC Electropedia.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity.
ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
