Overview • • 2 DL Origins – not identification Standardization – a gradual process Technologies at play Card Design Standard ISO SC 17/WG 10 Conformity Assessment efforts Future AAMVA Official Use Only
DL Origins – not identification • Evidence of privilege… • Identification deemed • ID Management must be holistic – Fundamentals (have/know/are) – Breeder document(s)/systems – “Binding” 3 AAMVA Official Use Only
Standardization – a gradual process • Compilations – Collection of what was being done • Models – Uniform Identification Practices • Best Practices/Recommendations – DL/ID Security Framework • Standards – Voluntary until… 4 AAMVA Official Use Only

ISO/IEC 18013 • ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 17 WG 10 • First meeting in 1999; on average between 3 and 4 meetings per year • Participation by administrators and industry • Convenorship held by the US • Consists of 4 parts: • Part 1: Physical format and human-readable properties • Part 2: Structure of machine-readable data • Part 3: Data protection and integrity validation methods • Part 4: Test methods AAMVA Official Use Only

Past attendance AAMVA Official Use Only
ISO/IEC 18013 • United Nation Conventions on Road Traffic of 1949 Geneva and 1968 Vienna specifies an International Driving Permit (IDP) • The US is a signatory to the 1949 Convention • ISO/IEC 18013 specifies an “ISO compliant driving licence” (IDL) that can perform the function of both the IDP and a domestic driving license • ISO/IEC 18013 -1 is also synchronized with the European Union driver license Directives • ISO/IEC 18013 allows room for issuing jurisdictions to adapt (i. e. make more strict or add to) the ISO standard for domestic purposes without becoming noncompliant with ISO/IEC 18013 • The AAMVA DL/ID card design specification is based on ISO/IEC 18013 -1 • The AAMVA DL/ID card design specification allows States to issue a driving license that also serves as an IDL AAMVA Official Use Only
Card layout example ISO/IEC 18013 -1 • Mandatory and optional data elements • Placement of data elements • Other graphical characteristics • Physical card security Card layout specification AAMVA Official Use Only
AAMVA DL/ID Card Design Specification • Domestic version of ISO/IEC 18013 -1 • Adapted ISO/IEC 18013 -1 to fit local requirements, while still allowing State to issue a State driver license that can double as an IDL • Specifically expanded on among others the following: • Security requirements • Barcode content structuring • Vertical card layout • Mandatory data elements AAMVA Official Use Only
ISO/IEC 18013 -2 • Human-readable and machine-readable data should not conflict • Mandatory data elements (identified in Part 1 as necessary for international interchange) has to be present (may be protected by basic access protection) • Covered technologies: Barcodes, magnetic stripe, IC with contacts, contactless IC, optical memory • Stated functions of the machine-readable data include: • • Identity verification • Evidence of residence • Biometric authentication • Age verification Complete specification for the storage of images AAMVA Official Use Only
ISO/IEC 18013 -2 • Conceptual data structure • Encoding rules specified separately for: • Barcode , magnetic stripe (Compact encoding) • IC (Standard encoding) • Optical memory AAMVA Official Use Only
ISO/IEC 18013 -3 Specifies mechanisms (for various storage technologies, as applicable) that allow for: • Access control • • Document authentication • • Requires a “secret” to access data (or parts thereof) Verify that a document was issued by the apparent issuing authority Data integrity validation • Cloning • Exchange of machine-readable data carriers • Copied machine-readable data • Changes to human-readable data • Changes to machine-readable data AAMVA Official Use Only
ISO/IEC 18013 -3 Mechanisms: • Passive authentication • • Active authentication • • • Challenge-response protocol that uses information in a secure area of an IC to confirm that the IC and the other machine-readable data were issued together Non-match alert • • Digital signature Alerts if human-readable data and machine-readable data differ Basic access protection • Allows access to machine-readable data only if visual access to IDL can be confirmed • Protects (encrypts) communication between card and reader Extended access protection • IC authentication, strong secure messaging, and conditional authenticated access to data groups AAMVA Official Use Only
Non-match alert using existing field Non-match alert using a dedicated field Basic access protection using a barcode AAMVA Official Use Only
ISO/IEC 18013 -4 Ways to determine if a particular IDL complies with: • Machine-readable technologies in ISO/IEC 18013 -2 • Access control, authentication and integrity validation in ISO/IEC 18013 -3 Test methods: • Provides IDL implementers with requirements for conformity evaluation • Provides IDL issuing authorities with requirements for quality assurance • Provides test laboratories and test tool providers with test suite requirements AAMVA Official Use Only

Conformity Assessment • Courtesy Verification Program – Third Party testing – Accountability tool/resource – Identifies trends • Application with Samples – Typical two-week turn around – Over 50 jurisdictions through program – Benefits = “That’s what I thought – to – What? ? ? ” 37 AAMVA Official Use Only
Conformity Assessment (con’t) • Additional Tests – Card Service Life • Request for Interest/Information − Instructions on what information to provide AAMVA Official Use Only
