List of digital keys in mobile wallets explained

Digital keys that operate over NFC and/or UWB are compatible with a variety of mobile wallets. These digital keys can be stored in smart devices through the use of mobile wallets that have access to the device's embedded secure element, such as Google Wallet for Android & Wear OS, Samsung Wallet for Android, Huawei Wallet for HarmonyOS, or Apple Wallet for iOS & watchOS.[1] [2] [3]

In China, both Huawei Wallet and Samsung Wallet allow for emulation of unencrypted physical NFC tags. However, these emulated passes must be viewed in their respective Wallet apps before the device is tapped to transmit properly, unlike digital keys that are properly developed for such platforms.[4]

The following is a list of digital keys and for what mobile wallets they are available.

Vehicles

The digital key specification for cars is maintained by the Car Connectivity Consortium.[5] As of 2023, most implementations of the technology follow the Digital Key 2.0 standard. The first automobile to follow the Digital Key 3.0 standard was the BMW iX.[6] Manufacturers can set limits on how many devices a key can be shared with. For instance, Kia only allows 15, while Mercedes-Benz permits up to 32.[7]

Some vehicles may need software or hardware upgrades to support a specific digital wallet. Also, not all trims for these listed models have the necessary hardware to support digital keys.

Keys that are compatible with Google Wallet, Samsung Wallet, and Apple Wallet can be shared across platforms.[52]

Google Wallet, Samsung Wallet, and Apple Wallet are capable of the following remote commands for supported vehicles: unlocking, locking, sounding the horn, and opening/closing the trunk. In addition, Samsung Wallet and Apple Wallet also support remote climate controls.[53]

Locks

In 2023, a new communication protocol named Aliro was announced by the Connectivity Standards Alliance to promote interoperability between smartphones, smartwatches, and access control readers, and should help guarantee improved availability for digital keys for locks across the major mobile wallets. Google, Samsung, and Apple have all been announced as participating members. The first specification is predicted to be available in 2025.[54] [55]
