Join us in testing the interoperability of ISO/IEC 18013-5:2021, ISO/IEC 18013-5 amendment 1 (draft) and ISO/IEC TS 18013-7 (draft) implementations, focusing on using Verified Issuer Certification Authority Lists (VICALs) provided by the Austroads pre-production Digital Trust Service. We will also test a profile for the new W3C Digital Credentials API (commonly referred to as the Browser API).
Organiser & Host: Austroads
Facilitator: MATTR
Date: 3-5 October 2024
Location: Hilton Sydney
Pre-event activities:
Standards conformance pre-check by Fime, 1-2 Oct (optional)
Unmoderated pre-testing between participants, 2 Oct (optional)
Co-located activities:
International Identity and Verifiable Credentials Summit IVC24, 2-4 Oct
101st meeting of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC17/WG10 on driving licenses, 8-11 Oct
ISO/IEC 18013-5:2021 standardises the requirements for mobile driving licenses (mDLs) and generic mobile documents (mdocs) to enable a secure and interoperable digital ecosystem.
The purpose of this test event is to:
Confirm the feasibility of implementing the standards.
Offer feedback, disambiguation, and clarification to increase the standards quality.
Maintain market momentum and accelerate mDL and mdoc implementations time to market.
Participation is open for organisations offering mdoc holder and/or reader implementations compliant with ISO/IEC 18013-5:2021. Reader implementations should be able to rely on the Austroads test VICAL for authenticating mdocs.
Participants are also invited to optionally test implementations of draft versions of ISO/IEC 18013-7 and ISO/IEC 18013-5 amendment 1, and a profile for the W3C Digital Credentials API.
ISO membership or any other affiliations are not required for participation.
The introductory webinar covered terms and conditions for participation, test process and registration information
Testing will be based on implementations of ISO/IEC 18013-5:2021, ISO/IEC 18013-5 amendment 1 (draft) and ISO/IEC TS 18013-7 (draft), focusing on the following credential types:
mDLs.
Photo IDs (proposed doctype and namespaces will be provided to webinar participants).
Participants can optionally test implementations of other mdocs as well. The coordinator will provide descriptions of these doctypes and namespaces, as well as sample data sets to the registered participants.
All tested credentials should be authenticated using the Austroads test VICAL:
Before the event.
Following a VICAL update during the event.
The event will cover the provisional W3C WICG Digital Credentials API, commonly referred to as Browser API.
The Browser API allows web sites acting as mdoc readers using a standardised browser API (JavaScript) to exchange requests and responses with mdoc implementations.
The coordinator will provide a test profile for the Browser API that can be used in the event.
There will be opportunities for testing new features introduced in the ISO/IEC 18013-5 amendment 1 (draft):
New request structure and its backward compatibility.
Revocation methods.
New L2CAP configuration and resulting reduced transaction time.
Supporting the IVC24 Interop Test Event, the Austroads Pre-production DTS offers access to the following resources:
The Test Event’s VICAL (Verified Issuer Certificate Authority List)—a signed, trusted list of verified issuers and their associated certificates. Reader implementations participating in the Test Event should be able to rely on this VICAL to authenticate mdocs during the event.
Reader certificates of reader implementations participating in the Test Event. These can be used by participating mdoc apps implementations to establish trust with these readers.
To participate in the event, participants must submit a completed Implementation Conformance Statement, indicating which standardised functions and/or protocols are supported by their implementations.
During the test event participants will rotate with their implementations between different stations to test holder/reader interoperability across different workflows and features.
The coordinator will aggregate and anonymise test results. High level anonymised test results will be made available in a general test report.
The coordinator will assist in providing access to required base documents and profiles of draft standards and specification that can be shared outside of ISO/IEC working groups.
Following interoperability testing, participants will complete an automated form with executed transaction scenarios and test results.
The test event will provide detailed feedback to the standardisation process, affirming the maturity of the standards while further strengthening the specifications.

Task Force 14 has worked towards the standardisation of mDLs/mdocs since 2014, taking an unconventional approach to assure a high-quality standard
Traditional joint work and international review and balloting rounds have been augmented by several “Prototype Interoperability Parties”.
A decade from the creation of Task Force 14, the IVC24 Interop Test Event marks the first time the international interoperability party has been held in Sydney, Australia.
