International Travel with the combined IATA One ID and Digital Travel Credential

In a presentation at the recent IATA World Financial Symposium (WFS) and World Passenger Symposium (WPS) in Bangkok, Michael Zureik, Senior Digital Identity Architect from SITA, explained how travelers flying from Atlanta to Aruba used a Digital Travel Credential (DTC) developed by SITA, the government of Aruba, and Indicio, using the latest in AnonCreds + Selective Disclosure JWT (SD-JWT), and DIDComm + OpenID, and incorporated it with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) OneID, in collaboration with Delta Air Lines.

The combination enabled travelers to the Caribbean island to get preauthorization for travel before flying (using the DTC), streamline their check-in, baggage drop, and boarding at Hartsfield-Jackson airport in Atlanta (using IATA One ID), and then cross the border in seconds upon arrival in Aruba (using the DTC).

This trial also showcases how different credential specifications and protocols can be seamlessly blended to solve specific challenges and meet regional requirements, such as those specified as part of the EU Digital Identity Wallet initiative.

The result is transformational for international travel. It heralds the arrival of seamless digital travel, where travelers get to hold their data on their mobile devices and present it for instant cryptographic verification to prove who they are. This streamlines the journey from booking to arrival, reduces waiting times, especially at border crossings, while providing convenience and data privacy for the traveler and better security for airlines, airports, and governments.

Michael Zureik joins the Indicio Meetup to share more about the results of these implementations, a demonstration of the technologies used, and discuss where we go from here.

You will:

• Learn how Digital Travel Credentials and the IATA OneID work together to provide a more streamlined travel experience for both customers and providers.
• Discuss how the Verifiable Credentials serve as a secure container for traveler identifying information and provide more convenience and security for the end user.
• See a demonstration of the workflows and technology in action.
