Spruce Systems

SpruceID helps governments design and deploy secure digital identity wallet infrastructure, supporting platform wallets, government-issued wallets, and open standards that give residents choice.

SpruceID helps governments build standards-based architecture that supports interoperability, privacy-by-design, and secure data sharing, without vendor lock-in.

SpruceID helps states implement identity gateway and single sign-on (SSO) systems that provide a unified login for residents while enforcing consistent security across agencies and applications.

SpruceID helps governments design and deploy trusted digital ID systems, including mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs), with privacy-by-design verification for online and in-person services.

Different credential formats like ISO mDL, W3C VC, and SD-JWT each offer unique advantages in structure, privacy features, and use cases, often complementing rather than competing with each other.

The page distinguishes digital identity, the overall system for proving who someone is online, from digital credentials, verified information that proves individual claims about identity.

The page explains that authentication verifies identity through credentials or biometrics, while authorization determines which resources someone may access based on that verified identity.

While Apple Wallet IDs are convenience features for storing card images, mDLs are cryptographically verifiable digital credentials that meet ISO standards and can be independently verified by any conforming reader.

Unlike easily forged photos or PDFs, verifiable digital credentials contain cryptographic signatures that make tampering mathematically detectable and enable instant verification of authenticity.

SpruceID is building secure, interoperable digital infrastructure that gives people control over their data and helps governments deliver trusted, future-ready services.

SpruceID partners with governments to modernize critical systems using open standards, collaborative delivery, and practical solutions that work across real-world constraints.

SpruceID discusses government modernization, digital trust infrastructure, and partnership opportunities, and routes messages to the appropriate team.

SpruceID helps governments design, integrate, and operate secure identity, verification, and data exchange systems across legacy platforms. Trusted by public programs nationwide.
