Background
Institutions around the world have seen a massive shift toward digital transformation within the last couple of years. And the pandemic has only accelerated the government’s digital change efforts and sped up the pace of innovation.
At the center of all online activities operated by the administration are the digital identity and the possibility of providing evidence of who is applying for the service. Each contract agreement presumes that the contractual partners can identify themselves unequivocally and legally. Thus, a digital identity would ensure such an online identification. Such an eID function would be a major game-changer within the public service sector.
Users can move around the Internet safely and more freely by using this so-called eID function. This would pave the way for a whole package of citizen services or bank services that could be now operated online.
Challenge
Pretty much any application build to support public services is bound to store sensitive data of some kind, whether it is the organization’s or the user’s.
A provider of a one-time eIDAS platform aspires to expand his services to create a validated multi-use digital ID accepted by public service agencies. However, the operation of such services on a scalable level is expensive and bound to countless security risks — most notably providing a cloud-based service, while making sure that the data ownership is not compromised in the process.
Solution: Digital Citizen ID
