One mobile ID to secure physical and digital identity

Abstract

In this paper a mobile ID solution called My Identity App (MIA) is shown that combines traditional printed ID documents and electronic identities (eID) into a platform independent smartphone app embedded in an ID ecosystem. MIA aims for transparent identification and authentication in the physical and digital world while security, privacy, data protection, usability and user trust are at equilibrium. Security is built upon secure processes rather than hardware like secure elements, thus providing the fundament for broad adoption including technically challenged people. Scaleable architecture, standard future-proven technologies like OpenID Connect and FIDO authentication build the framework for secure, failsafe and large deployments.
