IDunion enables self-determined identities based on Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) technologies Hyperledger Indy and Hyperledger Aries. The aim of the IDunion organisation is to create an open ecosystem for decentralised identity management, which can be used worldwide and is based on European values and regulations. IDunion is also a project co-funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs (BMWi) as part of the Showcases Secure Digital Identities program. We gave an introduction covering

  • The IDunion consortium consists of 37 partners - other major partners have already signaled interest in participating

  • Our solution is enabled by the distributed ledger technology (DLT) and the concept of self-sovereign identities (SSI)

  • Instead of a central authority, trust is organized via a DLT network, which works as a decentralized PKI system

  • In recent months, in addition to intensive research, we have developed a DLT test network including governance structure, 35+ use cases and numerous software components for the allocation, verification and management of digital identity data developed

  • In the future, the identity network will be managed by a European cooperative in which every institution in the EU can participate

  • In total, we are working on 35 use cases in the areas of eGovernment, education, finance, industry/IOT, eCommerce/mobility, IAM, and eHealth

  • Focus points within the project are interoperability, involvement of municipal bodies and citizens, generation of everyday relevance, cooperations

  • Implementation schedule: 2021 - Incorporation European Cooperative | 2022 - Productive Network | 2023 - Building Trust
