IDEMIA has obtained certification for its mIDReader and Verify SDK to the International Standard Organisation ISO 18013 Part 5: Mobile driving license (mDL) application standard.
According to the company, the IDEMIA mIDReader and IDEMIA Verify SDK is the result of research and development efforts, aimed at seamlessly connecting the realms of physical and digital identity verification and building security and simplicity in mobile ID verification.
The mIDReader device passed extensive evaluation and testing by UL Solutions, becoming the first mID reader certified to the ISO/IEC 18013-5 standard.
With both its mIDReader and Verify SDK, IDEMIA says it assures every scanned ID is protected by the most advanced encryption technologies available.
The mIDReader delivers fast readings, transforming security protocols into seamless interactions.
The Verify SDK allows companies and government agencies an easy way to integrate the ability to verify the identity of individuals, validate the integrity of every transaction and safeguard identities.
“The creation of a physical reader enables businesses and government agencies to accept mobile IDs, which is important as more and more people opt to use digital IDs,” said Donnie Scott, CEO, IDEMIA Identity and Security North America.
“The new IDEMIA mIDReader has the UL Solutions stamp of approval, so users can trust they have a device that will validate IDs quickly and is secure.”
The IDEMIA mIDReader, which is compliant with US transportation system security requirements, is used by TSA officers at participating airports in the country to check the validity of travelers’ IDs.
The IDEMIA mIDReader is also integrated into the latest generation of TSA’s Credential Authentication Technology.
Leveraging encryption, the IDEMIA mIDReader ensures that users’ personal information is kept secure at all times.
The IDEMIA Verify SDK enables integration with existing equipment, making it a secure and more cost-effective option for digital identity verification.
In addition to identity verification at the airport, the IDEMIA mID Reader and the Verify SDK can be used for visitor identity verification at reception check-in or as an enhanced verification method for self-service kiosks, as well as age verification at retail locations.
“We believe that identity verification should be as secure as it is simple,” said Rodolpe Hugel, Chief Digital Officer, IDEMIA Public Security North America.
“The global certification of our mID Reader and Verify SDK to the ISO/IEC 18013-5 standard and our collaboration with UL Solutions are pivotal steps forward in making this belief a reality and enabling us to offer our users a product that is unmatched in both security and ease of use.”
