Gemalto Digital ID Wallet

The Gemalto Digital ID Wallet, launched by Thales Group in 2019, is a digital identity solution that enables governments to issue secure digital versions of official identity documents to citizens' smartphones. The platform leverages Mobile Security Core technology and implements multi-layered security techniques and sophisticated encryption to protect personal data while giving users control over their shared information.

The solution supports multiple credential types including digital identity cards, health cards, and driver's licenses, allowing citizens to store and manage their official documents in one secure location. Built on R3's Corda blockchain platform, the system enables selective disclosure of identity attributes - for example, proving age eligibility without revealing exact birth date. Notable implementations include partnerships with the Swedish Tax Agency for their national digital identity scheme and integration with the European Digital Identity Framework (eIDAS 2.0).

From a technical perspective, the wallet utilizes biometric authentication and follows Self-Sovereign Identity principles, storing only attestations on the blockchain while keeping personal data under user control. The platform includes an ID Wallet mobile app for credential management and a comprehensive enrollment and issuance solution for government agencies. Key security features include:

• Advanced threat protection against malware attacks
• Strong authentication mechanisms
• Secure communication channels between issuers and users
• Integration with existing KYC and identity verification systems
