FAQPage Schema
What are mDoc standards and how do they work for digital identity?

mDoc standards are specifications like ISO/IEC 18013-5 that define secure digital identity documents. They use CBOR encoding and COSE signing to structure and protect data, enabling verifiable mobile credentials.

How does CBOR encoding work in ISO/IEC 18013-5 mobile documents?

CBOR encoding structures the data payloads in ISO/IEC 18013-5 mobile documents. It provides a concise binary format that allows efficient serialization of identity claims for secure digital identity solutions.

How do COSE signing and X.509 certificates secure mDoc digital identity data?

COSE signing applies cryptographic signatures to mDoc payloads, while X.509 certificates manage trust anchors like IACA and DSC. This combination ensures that mobile documents remain tamper-proof and verifiable.

What are salted hashed claims and why are they needed in mDoc standards?

Salted hashed claims protect privacy in mDoc standards by applying unique salts to individual data elements before hashing. This selective disclosure mechanism prevents correlating identity data across multiple transactions.

Do I need to understand ISO/IEC 23220 to build mDoc digital identity applications?

Understanding ISO/IEC 23220 is necessary for building mDoc digital identity applications because it defines the overall architecture and APIs for the mobile document ecosystem, complementing the 18013-5 data format specifications.

What is the difference between ISO/IEC 18013-5 and 18013-7 for mobile documents?

ISO/IEC 18013-5 defines the device engagement and data structure for offline mDoc presentation, while 18013-7 specifies protocols for online digital identity verification. Both are essential for comprehensive mDoc standards compliance.
