Revolutionizing Switzerland’s e-ID: MPC Partisia Develops Privacy-Centric Digital Identity System for the Swiss Government
Following the rejection of the LSIE on March 7, 2021, due to concerns over private companies managing citizens’ data, the Swiss government is collaborating with MPC Partisia to develop a secure, state-run electronic identity (e-ID) system. This new solution prioritizes privacy, decentralized data storage, and minimal information collection.
MPC Partisia’s e-ID system is built on Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) principles, empowering citizens to control their data and share only what’s necessary—for instance, proving age without disclosing birthdates. Using advanced blockchain and Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technologies, it ensures trust, security, and compliance with privacy standards like the "right to be forgotten."
In addition to its work with the Swiss government, MPC Partisia is also collaborating with Danmarks Statistik, the Danish Health Authority, and partners like DataFair, Enversion, and Innovationsfonden on a groundbreaking project called OSCAR. This initiative leverages Partisia’s expertise to develop innovative, privacy-preserving systems for managing statistical and health data in Denmark.
This collaboration with the Swiss and Danish governments is just the beginning. As the demand for privacy-preserving technologies grows, MPC Partisia is poised for even more partnerships with various government sectors worldwide, expanding the reach of its secure, decentralized identity solutions.
Currently, privacy-focused blockchain solutions like those developed by Partisia are undervalued in the market. However, as demand for secure and private systems grows, these technologies are poised for significant recognition and value increases.
