Provide an entirely new, seamless, integrated, and luxurious traveler experience.
Indicio is the leading developer of award-winning decentralized identity solutions for the air transport sector.
For complex information flows where security is critical, Indicio developed and deployed the world’s first Digital Passport Credential based on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards.
Indicio Proven® provides multiple ways to deploy digital identity with biometric authentication for seamless travel and border crossing using verifiable credentials based on ICAO DPC Type 1 specifications.
This “government-grade” digital identity enables passengers to convert their passports into authenticated digital credentials that can be used for pre-authorization for travel and seamless border crossing. Our DPC technology is being implemented by airlines and governments around the world, and is being extended to include immigration visas, airport lounge access, hotel check-in, and customer loyalty programs.
World’s first successful implementation of ICAO’s DPC Type 1 specifications in a verifiable credential.
World’s first successful implementation of IATA’s One ID in a digital wallet for travel.
World’s first successful combination of a DPC Type 1 and OneID for international travel.
Seamless authentication with government-grade digital identity including authenticated biometrics enables digital transformation across the travel ribbon to remove friction, error from manual data entry, and delay from manual security touchpoints — all without airlines and airports having to securely manage their passengers’ personal data.
With an Indicio Digital Passport, travelers can fully consent to share their biographic and biometric information in advance of arrival, enabling pre-authorized travel and seamless border crossing.
Airports can streamline check-in, baggage management, access to lounges, and boarding because passengers can hold and share authenticated biometric and biographic data from a verifiable digital passport. This means reduced congestion and anxiety for travelers, at the same time as Increase airport capacity without increasing resources.
Airlines can know that every traveler has been precleared to board international flights, reducing the risk of fines for inadmissible travelers. Airlines can always and instantly know their customers when they log in to airline websites and use loyalty programs — and customers can be sure they are logging into their airlines.
Often, less than 3 seconds, offering potential improvement of over 80% compared to agent-to-traveler experience, and up to 50% improvement compared to many e-gates*
*Border admission times vary, therefore improvement metrics will vary accordingly.
Easy to implement, can work with any system… … takes just days to implement, a couple of weeks to trial, and when operational it can scale to handle all your needs — with minimal changes needed to your existing infrastructure. Indicio is the global expert in mediation, the key technical process of connecting credential issuance and verification to mobile devices.
Solves the compliance challenges around biometrics and GDPR With Indicio’s Digital Passport, the passenger holds their own biometric data, sharing it with explicit consent. Biometric presentations can be combined and compared with liveness checks to ensure the highest level of authentication, and can be deployed in multiple workflows to counter the risk of generative AI deepfakes.
Comes with a Mobile SDK So you can quickly and easily implement an Indicio Digital Passport and other verifiable credentials into your apps — we’ve compiled all the code you need for Android and IoS.
Easy for travelers to use Crucially, an Indicio Digital Passport is easy for a traveler to create and use as its based on familiar mobile technology.
Use a Digital PassportCredential Scan and transform your passport into a verifiable credential (with liveness and biometric assurance) for check in and border crossing.
Manage check-in Customers can pre fill out any information needed for their stay, recurring only a quick scan at the front desk to check in at a hotel or potentially just issuing digital room keys without a check in.
Digital room keys Securely issue and revoke room keys directly to customers, reducing time spent at the front desk.
Store tickets on a credential You can manage your airport experience through a credential, storing boarding pass info, passport info, and visa details in a way that is easily shareable.
Biometrics were supposed to solve the problem of passwords. But if a password is stolen, it can be reset. If biometrics are stolen or faked using generative AI, they become an existential threat: You can’t reset someone’s face.
With Indicio Proven, biometric data can be bound to a verifiable credential so that verifiers do not have to store the biometric data to authenticate it.
This also protects against generative AI deepfakes.
Capture a person’s biometrics in a template during identity assurance and issue the template as a verifiable credential.
The person presents the verifiable credential when they use biometric authentication and the verifier compares the two to make sure they match. The verifying party records validation and discards the template for simple data privacy compliance.
No centralized biometrics database is required for authentication.
Authenticity and integrity of biometric details are cryptographically provable.
Provides a quick, simple, low-cost way to defend against generative AI deepfakes.

What you need to know about Mobile Driver’s Licenses
A Mobile Driver’s License (mDLs) is a digital specification for a physical driver’s license. Given that driver’s licenses are widely used for identification, it's likely that a digital version would enjoy similar ubiquity online. Here, we look at what exactly they are (are they verifiable credentials?) their benefits, and why they are not currently widely available.
It all starts with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 18013 series. In a nutshell, this document creates a common standard for international recognition of a digital driver’s license.
The standard lays out the scope as follows:
You must use a machine to obtain the mDL.
The mDL must be tied to the mDL holder.
You must be able to authenticate the origin of the mDL data.
You must be able to verify the integrity of the mDL data.
Critically, there are two things the standard does not cover:
How the holder’s consent to share their data is obtained.
Any requirements on how the mDL data is stored.
So now we know what the mDL is: it is a driver’s license that can be stored on your mobile device and is tied to you. It can be proven to be as accurate as a physical card because we can prove that it was issued by a proper authority — such as the department of motor vehicles — and prove that the integrity of the data has not been compromised.
But an mDL is not the same as a verifiable credential because the mDL data can technically be stored in a siloed database. However, a verifiable credential, which allows a person to hold their data, could absolutely fit this standard and be used to easily issue mDLs, as they meet all the other requirements laid out above.
The benefit to using mDLs is similar to the benefits of using verifiable credentials. They are simple to verify and use, convenient, and often more secure than a physical document.
There are guides written on . This is because each state has their own methods for trying to make their driver’s licenses difficult to counterfeit. An mDL offers a much simpler way to verify the identity of a person or their age for eligibility to purchase goods: all you need to do is scan the QR code and the software will tell you. You don’t need a flashlight, or to look for holograms.
Most people also now have a mobile device that is always with them. Carrying a digital version of your driver’s license allows you to not worry about accidentally leaving your ID somewhere or needing to fish through a bag to find it, it is always at your fingertips.
Lastly, the security features of these mDLs, especially if they are created through verifiable credentials, are hard to match. If the mDL is a verifiable credential, it is essentially immune to forgery because the software can cryptographically verify the origin of the data, and there is an additional layer of security from the data being stored on the holder’s mobile device instead of a centralized database, removing the risk from data breaches.
One of the reasons why these credentials have not yet been widely adopted is that regulations have not kept up with the technology.
In the US, the REAL ID act of 2005 wasn’t updated to include permission for digital and mobile drivers licenses. But the federal government leaves the issuing of driver’s licenses to each state, meaning that the state governments also have to vote on implementation; as of August 2024, only legislation to start issuing mDLs.
If they are being issued by your state they are not currently a replacement for your license, but an additional way to represent it, meaning that you will likely still have a physical license somewhere. This could be another reason that many haven’t adopted them, they see it as an add-on that is unnecessary.
It's important to remember that this technology is still new. Many people might not understand or trust it yet, but as the world shifts to be more digital, it will be a big part of how we prove our identity moving forward.
If you are part of an organization looking into mDL technology, or a better way to prove your identity online, Indicio can help! .

The issuer is an entity that creates and provides verifiable credentials to holders.
Responsibilities:
Credential Creation: Issues credentials that are cryptographically signed to ensure authenticity.
Data Source: Acts as the trusted source of information contained in the credentials.
Examples: Government agencies issuing digital IDs, universities issuing diplomas, or banks issuing creditworthiness statements.
The holder is the individual or entity that owns and controls the verifiable credential.
Responsibilities:
Credential Storage: Stores credentials securely, often in a digital wallet.
Consent and Sharing: Shares credentials selectively with verifiers when needed.
Examples: A student holding a digital diploma or a traveler holding a digital passport.
The verifier is an entity that validates the authenticity and integrity of a verifiable credential.
Responsibilities:
Verification Requests: Requests credentials from the holder for authentication or authorization.
Credential Validation: Uses cryptographic proofs to ensure the credential is issued by a trusted issuer and has not been tampered with.
Examples: Employers verifying a candidate’s diploma or an airport validating a digital passport.
The governance rules define the rules and standards for how verifiable credentials are issued, held, and verified.
Responsibilities:
Establishes trusted relationships among issuers, holders, and verifiers.
Specifies technical and policy requirements for interoperability and compliance.
Examples: Emerging European identity regulations, eIDAS and EUDI for digital wallets.
A mediator plays a crucial role in enabling seamless, secure communication and interaction between mobile digital wallets and other entities (issuers, verifiers, and other wallets) in decentralized identity ecosystems. A mediator does in relation to mobile digital wallets:
Responsibilities:
Facilitates Secure Connections: Mobile wallets often need to establish secure, private channels for exchanging verifiable credentials and other data. This is especially useful for wallets on devices that are not always online or directly addressable (e.g., behind a firewall or NAT).
Routes Message: Mobile wallets may not be constantly connected to the internet, making direct communication with other parties (issuers, verifiers, or holders) challenging. The mediator acts as an intermediary to store and forward messages. It ensures that messages sent to the wallet are reliably delivered when the wallet becomes available.
Supports Credential Exchange: Mediators play a role in helping mobile wallets request and receive credentials from issuers and present credentials to verifiers, often through secure and automated communication channels.
A registry or ledger may be used to publish public information, such as issuer credentials or revocation lists.
Responsibilities:
Stores metadata (not user information or credentials) like public keys or credential schemas.
Verifiers use it to confirm the trustworthiness of an issuer or the revocation status of a credential.
Examples: Blockchain networks like Hyperledger Indy or the .
Issuers provide credentials to holders.
Holders share credentials with verifiers.
Verifiers validate the credentials using public keys or registries.
All interactions occur under a governance framework to ensure security and trust.

Proven Auth is an OpenID Connect identity provider, similar to Google, Azure Active Directory, Auth0, Keycloak, etc. What makes Proven Auth unique is that rather than relying on a centralized database of users, Proven Auth uses digital credentials to authenticate its users. These credentials are signed by any Issuer that Proven Auth has been configured to trust. In short, Proven Auth is a credential verifier that can speak OpenID Connect to act as an Identity Provider.
OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an identity layer built on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. It enables authentication in a standardized way and facilitates secure interaction between different systems. OIDC is widely used for Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions, where users can authenticate once and access multiple systems seamlessly.
Chances are you’ve used OpenID Connect before, whether you realized it or not. When you see a button on the login form of a website that says “Login with XYZ,” there’s a good chance that login is accomplished using the OpenID Connect protocol.
OpenID Connect works by letting one system – called the Identity Provider (IdP) – handle authentication for other systems that trust it. These other systems are referred to as the Relying Party (RP). Here’s what happens in practice: When you try to log into an application, instead of asking for your username and password directly, the app sends you to the Identity Provider. The IdP is responsible for verifying your identity, which might involve entering a password, using a security code, or confirming via an app.
Indicio Proven is the world’s most advanced platform for decentralized identity using verifiable credentials and Open Badges 3.0.
It is designed to provide the widest possible range of options to build, deploy, scale, and manage verifiable credential ecosystems.
It is built to be interoperable and compatible with current and emerging global protocols and standards for decentralized identity, including the European Union’s new standards for digital identity (eIDAS) and digital wallets (EUDI).
It’s easy to implement — a platform that can work with your existing systems, and it is configurable in days rather than months.
And it’s easy to scale from simple use cases to managing national and global identity verification.
Verifiable credentials are a powerful new way to authenticate identity and data. As Gartner Research notes in its 2024 Market Report for Decentralized Identity, they represent “magnitudes of improvement in terms of efficiency, cost and assurance.”

Mutual authentication provides a more fool-proof way to ensure that it really is your bank reaching out about your account rather than a fraudster.
Record all details needed for customer onboarding and risk assessment KYC credential schemas.
Source of KYC and integrity of the data is verified through cryptography and digital signatures.
Credentials can be coded to expire.
Reduce fraud Use verifiable credentials for frictionless, mutual authentication before any data is shared. A bank is able to cryptographically authenticate that it is interacting with a real account holder, and the account holder is able to authenticate that he or she is interacting with their bank.
Reuse KYC information Credentials can be configured to store the information required for more complex financial transactions and a KYC credential is a way for a bank or its partners to reuse and share this information. If a third party trusts the original bank’s KYC process, they can trust the veracity of the KYC credential.
Provide more secure customer access The customer can securely access their account without a username or password.
Use as a credit card Credit card information can be put into a verifiable credential; virtual CC numbers can be used; temporary cards for one-time use can be issued as a credential.
Reduce the time necessary for larger transactions Credentials remove the need to contact third parties to verify funds.
Data sharing Know that any data shared with or between your team can be trusted.
Reduce liability The customer can choose to disclose only the information necessary for a transaction, removing the need to securely store or delete customer information.
Once the IdP confirms who you are, it sends a token back to the application. This token contains information about you, such as your name or email address, and proves to the application that you’ve been authenticated. The application checks the token, and if it’s valid, it lets you in.
The advantage is that the IdP can handle authentication for multiple applications. After logging in once, you won’t need to log in again as long as all the applications trust the same IdP. This is what makes Single Sign-On possible.
Proven Auth acts as a bridge between “traditional” web services and Digital Credential enabled systems. To traditional web services, Proven Auth is just another OpenID Connect Identity Provider, making it trivial to integrate into an existing website through the plethora of OIDC plugins and libraries available for virtually every web framework.
When the RP asks Proven Auth to authenticate a user through standard OIDC requests, Proven Auth creates a Presentation Request and makes it available to the End-User, or in Digital Credential terminology, the Wallet or Credential Holder. The Holder then presents the requested credential to Proven Auth where the credential is verified and then transformed into an ID Token to be returned to the RP.

Overview: Open Badges were launched in 2011 by the Mozilla Foundation with support from the MacArthur Foundation as an open specification and infrastructure for creating and sharing digital records of skills and achievements.
With this infrastructure, the badges could only be issued to a certified Open Badges platform and could not be sent directly to recipients. Badges hosted on a website could also be changed without showing any record of the change.
The Open Badges 3.0 specification, created by the global educational nonprofit, 1EdTech, solved these challenges by updating the specification to align with the W3C Verifiable Credential Data Model.
Now, a badge can be issued directly to a recipient’s digital wallet application on a mobile device. And, as a badge is digitally signed, it cannot be altered or tampered with once it has been created.
As 1EdTech , with a verifiable credential format, badges can support “limitless claims,” and provide enhanced security and privacy through cryptographic verifiability.
The updated specification meets “market needs for trustworthy machine-ready data to power connected ecosystems in education and the workforce.”
Portability: They are no longer tied to an Open Badge Platform. An Open Badge recipient holds their credentials in their digital wallet.
Immutability: They are now digitally signed in a way that prevents alteration after issuance.
Resilience:They are not tied to a platform or API that could fail or go out of business.
As 1EdTech notes: The verifiable credential format enables “limitless claims,” enhanced security and privacy through cryptographic verifiability, and meets “market needs for trustworthy machine-ready data to power connected ecosystems in education and [the] workforce.”
