Proving your own identity - that's also possible in the digital world. But to prevent identity theft, such identities must be secure.

The increasing networking of the digital world is increasing the need for protection of IT systems at public authorities, public administrations and companies. Consequently, secure identification on the network is becoming a central challenge in all digitization projects. Depending on the need and requirement for reliable and trustworthy action, the "digital self" differs, which is also usually coupled with different personal data. Against this backdrop, it is essential to enable the development and consolidation of trust in public IT systems in the long term and thus build trust. Secure digital identities form the basis for this.

The products from the Governikus eID universe offer the right solutions for this. They can be flexibly integrated into different application scenarios and ensure both interoperability and compliance with national and international legislation.

Challenges

of secure digital identities

In the digital world, proving an identity is very complex: The non-physical presence of a person quickly turns identification and personal identification into a hurdle race. Here, secure digital identities offer the possibility to verify whether an identity matches the one in the real world. This is because increasing cybercrime is increasing citizens' fear of identity theft on the one hand, and the resulting economic damage on the other.

Secure digital identities with different characteristics and corresponding trust levels are therefore essential. Governikus eID solutions ensure the handling of different identity tokens: from online ID cards to eIDAS-notified systems of our European neighbors to the handling of identities of so-called identity providers. The service-oriented standard modules in our portfolio can also be used to implement user accounts and ensure their interoperability.
