About the WPKI Non-Profit Association

The WPKI Non-Profit Association consists of corporations co-operating to enable a well-functioning infrastructure for mobile e-IDs.

The WPKI Non-Profit Association maintains and develops a number of technical and administrative specifications that

  • describe how the mobile terminal SIM cards should be designed to host the mobile e-ID
  • specify the interfaces between the mandatory roles: Mobile Operator, e-ID issuer (RA/CA) and Relying Party
  • list these role's contractual commitments to each other

The WPKI Non-Profit Association intends to
create a globally accepted specification for WPKI by

  • publishing the technical and administrative specifications
  • ensuring that the technical specifications for WPKI are based on globally accepted standards
  • issuing contributions in line with the specifications to international standardization bodies through members that are active in these bodies
