Smartphone based digital identities using facial recognition for public services in Nordic Countries

Presentation of the EU-“IMPULSE”-solution and discussion of use cases and requirements for adopting digital ID solutions in Nordic Countries

The objective of this 1,5-hour online workshop is to present the mobile and “self-sovereign” digital identity solution developed in the EU-project IMPULSE and to discuss user needs, use cases and technical and regulatory requirements for digital identity solutions in Iceland, Denmark and Finland. 

The workshop starts with a short introduction to the IMPULSE-solution and a quick overview of our experiences when implementing it in pilot cases. Then there will be three participatory breakout sessions which are dedicated to the specific stiuation in these three countries. The respective discussion will cover digital identity use cases and user needs (1), technical requirements of digital identity solutions (2) and reflect on the regulatory context for implementing digital identity solutions (3).

  • Digital strategists and designers who develop online services that require a digital identity

  • Startups and independent technologists
  • Policy and regulatory professional who work issues related to digital identities

What are the needs of end users, public administrations and firms? Which technical requirements do digital identity solutions have to meet to be viable? What are legal and regulatory requirements? What needs to be considered in the implementation process?
