DCO Interoperable Digital ID (Inter-ID) Initiative – Phase 1 Survey

Hint: Please provide information for each project.

Hint: Possession Rate = (Total DID Holders ÷ Total Eligible Population) × 100

Hint: Activation Rate = (Activated DID ÷ Total DID Holders) × 100

Hint: Usage Rate = (Number of DID Used at Least Once to Access a Public or Private Digital Service ÷ Total DID Holders) × 100

Hint: Complete one table for each national DID scheme.

Hint: Please report the assurance levels formally defined or used in your country, including the level name/designation, identity verification or proofing method (e.g., self-assertion, remote verification, in-person verification, or verification against authoritative records), authentication method (e.g., password, OTP, biometrics, or cryptographic authenticator), and typical services or use cases supported (e.g., basic digital services, government services, financial services, or high-risk transactions). Where applicable, indicate the corresponding IAL, AAL, or national assurance classification in the following questions.

Hint: IAL: Identity Assurance Level reflects confidence in the identity proofing process used when issuing a digital identity. IAL1: Identity is self-asserted or minimally verified. IAL2: Identity is verified using authoritative evidence (e.g., national ID, passport, civil registry). IAL3: Identity is verified through rigorous identity proofing with enhanced fraud protection.

Hint: IAL reflects confidence in the identity proofing process used when issuing a digital identity. IAL1: identity is self-asserted or minimally verified. IAL2: identity is verified using authoritative evidence (e.g., national ID, passport, civil registry). IAL3: identity is verified through rigorous identity proofing with enhanced fraud protection.

Hint: AAL: Authenticator Assurance Level reflects the strength of authentication required to access digital services. AAL1: Single-factor authentication (e.g., username and password). AAL2: Multi-factor authentication (e.g., password plus OTP, authenticator app, or biometrics). AAL3: Hardware-based, phishing-resistant cryptographic authentication (e.g., smart card or security key).

Hint: AAL reflects the strength of authentication required to access digital services. AAL1: single-factor authentication (e.g., username and password). AAL2: multi-factor authentication (e.g., password plus OTP, authenticator app, or biometrics). AAL3: hardware-based, phishing-resistant cryptographic authentication (e.g., smart card or security key).

Hint: FAL: Federation Assurance Level reflects the security and protection of identity assertions exchanged between trusted systems.  FAL1: Standard identity assertions exchanged with basic protection; FAL2: Identity assertions protected using signed and encrypted tokens for enhanced security; and FAL3: Identity assertions cryptographically bound to phishing-resistant authenticators, providing the highest level of protection against interception or misuse.

Hint: FAL reflects the security and protection of identity assertions exchanged between trusted systems. FAL1: standard identity assertions exchanged with basic protection. FAL2: identity assertions protected using signed and encrypted tokens. FAL3: identity assertions cryptographically bound to phishing-resistant authenticators, providing the highest level of protection.

Hint: For example, in Saudi Arabia, the national Digital Identity scheme (Nafath) is integrated with electronic signature services, enabling trusted identity verification for legally recognized electronic transactions.

Hint: These standards provide internationally recognized guidance for identity management, authentication assurance, and digital travel credentials, supporting secure and interoperable digital identity ecosystems.

Hint: Cross-border capability refers to the ability of your national DID ecosystem to authenticate users or verify digital credentials for services provided by another country or through an international interoperability arrangement.

Hint: Standardized identity attributes are defined using common formats, structures, and meanings to ensure consistent interpretation and exchange across system.

Hint: Standardized exchange refers to the ability to exchange identity attributes using common semantic definitions and data formats while preserving their meaning across participating systems or countries.

Hint: Examples include interoperability gateways, federation hubs, identity verification gateways, or equivalent technical infrastructure.
