eID typeExamplesHopae role
Type 1: Centralized IdPOIDC providers, national or customer IdPsRelay (normalize + return original + evidence)
Type 2: Chip-basedPassport (ICAO 9303), eIDAS 1.0 cardVerifier (decode/decrypt, trust registry check, normalize + evidence)
Type 3: WalletEUDI / eIDAS 2.0 wallet, ISO 18013 mDLVerifier (validate VP, trust registry check, normalize + evidence)

Type 1: Centralized IdP

Hopae Connect integrates with centralized identity providers to authenticate the user in real time.
  • User: Completes OTP, PIN, ID/PW, or FIDO challenge at the provider.
  • Hopae: Relays the provider response, normalizes attributes, returns original data + evidence.

Type 2: Chip-based

Chip-based credentials rely on NFC and trust registries to validate secure elements in documents.
  • User: Unlocks the chip (PIN or CAN) and scans the document via NFC.
  • Hopae: Decodes/decrypts the payload, verifies status with ICAO PKD or eIDAS registry, normalizes data, returns original + evidence.

Type 3: Decentralized Wallet

Decentralized wallet flows use verifiable presentations from user-controlled wallets.
  • User: Approves in-wallet consent (PIN or biometric) after an OID4VP request.
  • Hopae: Validates the presentation, checks registry status, normalizes data, returns original + evidence.
