IDEMIA has revealed that its technology is playing a key role in the newly available Samsung Wallet mobile ID in Arizona.
The Transportation Security Administration announced earlier this week that is had begun trialing the use of Samsung’s mobile ID at the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. In a new statement, IDEMIA explained that the Samsung mobile ID “leverages IDEMIA’s expertise in identity services and credentials issuance, its principles of privacy by design, end-to-end security and interoperability, as well as its privileged access to government systems of record.”
The company added that the mobile ID solution complies with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard for the mobile driving license (ISO/IEC 18013-5), which entails certain requirements related to security, privacy, and interoperability.
The solution was developed in partnership with Samsung and the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division (AZ MVD), whose Director, Eric Jorgensen, expressed pride in giving residents “the ability and choice to adopt new technology,” adding later, “We continuously look for products and services that provide Arizonans security, privacy, and convenience.”
IDEMIA says it has now rolled out mobile IDs in 10 states, “with more to launch next year.” The company did not name all of the states in which its mobile ID has launched. As of November 1st of this year, IDEMIA’s technology was known to have been used in mobile ID programs in Oklahoma, Delaware, Mississippi, Arizona, and Iowa.
“We are proud to roll out our Mobile ID technology to Arizona residents, in partnership with the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division (AZ MVD), and bring states such as Arizona a new level of modernization to bring convenience to residents’ lives while keeping their identities secure,” said IDEMIA’s EVP of Strategic Alliances, Matt Cole.
