If you are a digital banking provider dealing with strict KYC and GDPR rules — this project developed a self-sovereign identity solution that lets customers share verified credentials securely. This reduces the risk of legal uncertainty and streamlines onboarding.
User-Controlled Identity and Consent Management System for EU Data Compliance
Imagine having a digital master key for your personal information that you alone control, rather than letting every website keep a copy of your ID. It works like a smart digital vault where you decide exactly who sees what and for how long. If a company wants your data, they send a simple request, and you approve it with one click, knowing exactly how it will be used.
What needed solving
Companies struggle to manage personal data sharing while staying compliant with GDPR and eIDAS. This often leads to legal uncertainty and poor user experiences during the consent process.
What was built
A system for self-sovereign identity and user-centric consent management using blockchain and smart contracts.
