FZI Shows Ways to Trustworthy Interactions
Results from research projects and the “Secure Digital Identities” showcase program published
Research Focus: Digital Democracy and Participation, Safety, Security and Law
FZI scientist Prof. Dr. Jan Sürmeli, together with Prof. Jürgen Anke and Michael Kubach, has published the anthology titled “Digitale Identitäten und Nachweise: Lösungsansätze für vertrauenswürdige Interaktionen zwischen Menschen, Unternehmen und Verwaltung” (Digital identities and proofs: solutions for trustworthy interactions between people, companies, and administrations). It summarizes the results of four research projects and the accompanying research of the showcase program on secure digital identities.
The contributions of the FZI scientists demonstrate the significant impact of independent research on the practical implementation of digital sovereignty in public administration and businesses.

About SDIKA
The SDIKA (Secure Digital Identities Karlsruhe) project aims to establish comprehensive, cross-application identities within open ecosystems. Technical, semantic, and economic interoperability will promote solutions that guarantee high functionality, security, and sovereignty. SDIKA takes a three-pronged approach: developing the location-independent “SDI-X system,” demonstrating and evaluating it in the Karlsruhe showcase, and establishing a supraregional ecosystem.
