Some Department of Homeland Security (DHS) operations are moving to digitize issuance and storage of paper-based credentials to enhance security and prevent forgery and counterfeiting, using blockchain and distributed technologies to issue and verify credentials using open standards. These systems use credentials that may be issued by DHS and held in a digital wallet. DHS is looking for a UI design that supports best practices for visual consistency, ensures security and privacy, is interoperable, and can be integrated with existing back-end processes. The UI needs to instill confidence in the user of the digital wallet that their online interactions are secure and that the parties they are interacting with are legitimate. The goal of this Challenge is to foster better UIs for digital wallets to be used by DHS and anyone in the community.
This Challenge will compare UI designs, which were submitted by October 15. This virtual community engagement will present the Trusted User Interface (UI) Challenge finalists, and kick-off the second stage of the prize challenge. The prize finalists will present their UI and user experience (UX) designs and receive feedback from the standards community to prepare for Stage 2 of the challenge. Experts from the government and standards community will provide insight into application integration and standards-based Digital Wallet implementations.
