MDoc / mDL

Description Value
Credential kind (literal) mdoc
Credential kind (numeric) 3
Status list type IETF TSL
Credential subject identifier JWK

Issuance

MDoc credentials utilize namespaces to specify the correct meaning for a given field. To inform Document Rails that a given field is nested within a namespace, utilize the double-colon character :: during the credential creation stage.

For example, org.iso.18013.5.1::given_name defines the given_name field within the org.iso.18013.5.1 namespace.

Credential subject identifier

MDoc credentials support only Ed25519 and P-256 curves within credential subject identifier's JWKs.

FIPS mode

Ed25519 support in credential subject identifier JWKs is available even in FIPS mode.

Document Rails does not perform any cryptographic operations on the credential subject identifier JWK, embedding it as-is instead.
