Whitepaper

The need for digital identities arises from the increasing digitalization of services in areas such as e-government, e-commerce and online banking. A secure digital identity enables users to verify their identity online without unnecessarily revealing sensitive information. This significantly reduces the risk of identity theft and fraud at a time when cyberattacks and identity theft are commonplace. It is now crucial to deploy secure and user-friendly identity management solutions that ensure data privacy and security.

Challenges and solutions

The standardization of digital identities and their widespread use are crucial for their acceptance. Initiatives such as the eIDAS Regulation in Europe create a framework for the cross-border use of digital identities and promote trust in digital transactions.

This white paper examines the development, challenges and opportunities associated with the establishment of secure and trustworthy digital identities. It also analyzes existing digital identification systems, looks at the legal framework and international standards and discusses acceptance in society.
