A technical deep dive into digital credentials.
This UL white paper provides in-depth insight on two types of digital credentials, those that comply with the ISO/IEC 18013-5 standard for mobile driving licenses and those known as Verifiable Credentials (VCs), which comply with the Verifiable Credential Data Model specification published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
