Using the AWS Private CA API to implement the mobile driving license (mDL) standard (Java examples)

You can use the AWS Private Certificate Authority API to create certificates that conform to the ISO/IEC standard for mobile driving license (mDL) . This standard establishes interface specifications for the implementation of a driving license in association with a mobile device, including certificate configurations.

The Java examples in this section interact with the service by sending HTTP requests. The service returns HTTP responses. For more information, see the AWS Private Certificate Authority API Reference.

In addition to the HTTP API, you can also use the AWS SDKs and AWS CLI tools to manage AWS Private CA. We recommend using the SDK or AWS CLI over the HTTP API. For more information, see Tools for Amazon Web Services. The following topics show you how to use the AWS SDK for Java to program the AWS Private CA API.

The GetCertificateAuthorityCsr, GetCertificate, and DescribeCertificateAuthorityAuditReport operations support waiters. You can use waiters to control the progression of your code based on the presence or state of certain resources. For more information, see the following topics, and Waiters in the AWS SDK for Java in the AWS Developer Blog.
