The future of digital identity is here and it’s offline
In a world where identification and authentication are essential for daily transactions, we often associate these processes with online interactions, such as logging into a banking app. However, many real world scenarios require identity verification in physical settings, from opening doors and rental access to verifying a driver's license or making payments.
Traditionally, these physical verification processes relied on internet based authentication methods, requiring a constant online connection. But what if identity verification could happen seamlessly offline, in a secure and private way?
We introduce you Proximity Flow in VIDwallet, a game changing feature that enables direct peer to peer identity sharing without an internet connection.
Why Proximity Flow matters: unlocking a world of new use cases
With Proximity Flow, identity verification happens directly between two devices, eliminating the need for an active internet connection and reducing security risks associated with sending personal data over the internet. This feature follows the ISO 18013-5 mDL (Mobile Driving License) standard, a widely adopted international standard used by Apple and Google for digital driving licenses in several U.S. states.
Real world applications of Proximity Flow:
- Opening doors & gates. Smart locks verifying authorized users offline.
- Vending machines. Proof of age verification without an internet connection.
- Hotel & Airbnb check in. Digital keys stored on your mobile device.
- Payment transactions. Offline, secure payments with VIDwallet.
- Car rentals. Seamless identity verification for accessing rental vehicles.
These real life applications showcase the power of Proximity Flow to enhance convenience, security, and privacy in our everyday interactions.
How does Proximity Flow work?
VIDwallet’s Proximity Flow uses advanced Bluetooth based technology to securely transmit identity credentials directly from one device to another.
- The verifier (e.g., a smart lock, vending machine, or rental system) requests identity verification.
- The user shares their digital credential via VIDwallet, using an encrypted, peer-to-peer exchange.
- The verification happens instantly, no internet required.
This approach ensures privacy, as data is not stored or transmitted over the internet, eliminating third-party access and enhancing security.
Why Proximity Flow is a game changer for digital identity?
- Enhanced security. No internet connection means no risk of hacking or data breaches.
- Faster verification. Instant peer-to-peer authentication saves time and effort.
- Universal accessibility. Works even in remote areas with no connectivity.
- Compliance with global standards. Built on ISO 18013-5 mDL, ensuring trust and compatibility.
This breakthrough feature aligns with ARF (Architecture Reference Framework) and the upcoming eIDAS2 regulations, making offline authentication a must-have component of the EUDI Wallet ecosystem.
