Backed by global interoperable standards,
IDEMIA mIDReader™ offers meticulous security and enables the
acceleration of Mobile ID adoption.
RESTON,
Va., May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a
groundbreaking first, IDEMIA, the world-leading provider of secure
identity and biometric solutions, announced today it has achieved
certification for its mIDReader and Verify SDK to
the International Standard Organization ISO 18013 Part 5:
Mobile driving license (mDL) application standard. This IDEMIA
mIDReader device and IDEMIA Verify SDK will accelerate the way
identity is securely verified and delivers unparalleled convenience
without compromising security.
The IDEMIA mIDReader and IDEMIA Verify SDK is the result of
relentless 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 assures every
scanned ID is protected by the most advanced encryption
technologies available. The mIDReader delivers lightning-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," 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 U.S.
transportation system security requirements, is used by TSA
officers at participating airports in the country to seamlessly
check the validity of travelers' IDs. The IDEMIA mIDReader is also
integrated into the latest generation of TSA's Credential
Authentication Technology.
Leveraging state-of-the-art encryption, the IDEMIA mIDReader
ensures that users' personal information is kept secure at all
times. The IDEMIA Verify SDK enables seamless 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," shared 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."
This global certification from UL Solutions affirms the
mID Reader's adherence to the global security and
interoperable standards and IDEMIA's unwavering commitment to
providing products that meet and exceed the highest standards of
safety, security, and user experience.
"As we move toward broader implementation of new
technologies, interoperability, security, and privacy
challenges must be addressed to build wider adoption," said
Chante Maurio, Vice President and
General Manager of the Identity, Management and Security group at
UL Solutions. "By earning the ISO/IEC 18013-5 certification from UL
Solutions, IDEMIA is demonstrating their commitment to prioritizing
innovation safety."
