AI Summary

-
System must comply with AAMVA Mobile Driver License Implementation Guidelines and ISO/IEC 18013-5 standards, with data elements matching those on physical credentials
-
Includes privacy protections: relying parties may only retain data with explicit consent, the system cannot track users without consent, and displaying an electronic credential does not authorize law enforcement to search other data on the device
