Financial Institution Use Case
As part of this project, the NCCoE has developed the “NCCoE Bank”, a fictitious bank that will demonstrate how mDLs might be implemented as an identity verification solution at a real financial institution. To supplement our technical demonstration, we have published Draft CIP/KYC use case criteria, which were used when developing our architecture for the NCCoE Bank. Additionally, we have created videos and flows implemented as wireframes to provide a visual representation of a customer navigating a sample bank site. These wireframes illustrate the step-by-step process in a browser on a laptop or desktop device.
We have also several artifacts to assist decision makers within your organization to include a SAMPLE Bank mDL Information Page that mimics information pages currently in use by financial institutions and highlights the benefits that mDLs might provide customers of those institutions, a Privacy Risk Assessment Methodology exercise, and a white paper describing proposals that will enhance trust assurance in the mDL ecosystem.
In the future we will update this section of the website with videos of the built demonstration and artifacts related to the same device (app to app) scenario.
