Digital security specialist 3866 Gemalto is partnering with Colorado, Idaho, Maryland and Washington DC to pilot digital drivers licences (DDL). The company has been awarded a US government grant to pilot the development of a smartphone-based credential in these states. The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has also awarded a two-year grant to the project.
 
The digital driver's license serves as a secure, companion version of the physical ID card. The pilot will address four main use cases including enrolment, updates to the document in use, attribute sharing and law enforcement. The mobile licence will enable new security features, coupled with advanced in-field verification and will allow for enhanced privacy for drivers through better control of personal information.
