Impact of Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence to Improve Electronic Identities
IMPULSE project focuses on the multidimensional and user-centric analysis of the transformative impact of these two disruptive technologies on electronic identities (eID) for the improvement of digital public services.
Improving online identification processes
IMPULSE “Identity Management in PUbLic Services” aims to transform the mainstream discourse on digital identity by drawing up a user-centric multi-stage method of multidisciplinary evaluation of eID management that combines the bottom-up approach of co-creation with the need for a universal vision of digital identity ethics in providing public services.

MOTIVATION
The demand of more secure digital services, the opportunity to use disruptive technologies and various challenges.

GOALS
6 goals related to public service’s demands, disruptive technologies supporting advanced eID and roadmaps.

OUTCOMES
A framework for a holistic integration of AI and blockchain technology, and actionable roadmaps.

CONSORTIUM
A team of 16 entities from 9 different countries will use Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain to improve online identification processes.

CASE STUDIES
IMPULSE brings together a set of representative and innovative processes as case studies in 5 countries.

If you are wondering about the technology behind it, read on.
- What does the standardisation landscape for identity management in public services looks like?The consideration of relevant existing standards for the development of the projects’ solutions and the transfer of the projects’ results into standardisation by contributing to ongoing standardisation activities or by developing new standards offers a big opportunity for R&I projects such as IMPULSE. This post informs about the analysed standardisation landscape.
