Types of eID

Hopae Connect supports three eID types. Here’s the quick overview you can rely on during integration.

eID type	Examples	Hopae role
Type 1: Centralized IdP	OIDC providers, national or customer IdPs	Relay (normalize + return original + evidence)
Type 2: Chip-based	Passport (ICAO 9303), eIDAS 1.0 card	Verifier (decode/decrypt, trust registry check, normalize + evidence)
Type 3: Wallet	EUDI / eIDAS 2.0 wallet, ISO 18013 mDL	Verifier (validate VP, trust registry check, normalize + evidence)

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.

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.

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.
