Digital Trust Test Bench (DTT) is a cloud-based platform that was built to ensure that digital credentials — like IDs, licenses, or certificates — work smoothly across different systems. No elaborate technical setup required.
Most teams today test their digital credential solutions in controlled, internal environments. That works — for a while. But as more players, platforms and standards enter the digital trust ecosystem, things get complicated quickly:
As more governments and organizations issue and use digital credentials, there’s a growing need to test how they behave with different platforms. Even well-built tools can fail if there’s no shared environment to test how they integrate.
Without a common, coordinated approach to testing, messy, fragmented systems become the norm — leading to redundant work, delays and unnecessary costs.
That’s where DTT comes in.
DTT was created to prevent these pains, offering a shared space for testing, validation, and collaboration, so digital credentials can function well together as the ecosystem evolves.
By bringing together issuers, holders, and verifiers, DTT helps teams:
DTT wasn’t built in a silo. It was developed through a collaborative process, led by the Digital Trust Laboratory of Canada (DTLab) and supported by a wide network of partners.
Every new iteration is:
By ensuring that DTT is created by the community, for the community, we ensure it reflects real-world challenges — and grows in step with a rapidly changing industry. This approach allows for reliable, scalable and future-proof credentials.
Through the creation of the DTT platform, DTLab is already helping teams test how their systems interact, but our long-term vision is even more ambitious.
We are dedicated to developing a one-stop solution for the entire digital credential ecosystem — supporting everyone from developers and product owners to government decision-makers.
This “all-in-one” vision means:
DTT is continuously evolving, shaped by the needs and input of its users.
