eTalk: OLYMPUS Project: An identity management framework that ensures secure and privacy-friendly virtual identity management interactions for citizens accessing services in Europe

OLYMPUS H2020 project addresses the challenges associated with the use of privacy-preserving identity management solutions by establishing an interoperable European identity management framework based on novel cryptographic approaches applied to currently deployed identity management technologies. In particular, OLYMPUS employs distributed cryptographic techniques to split up the role of the online IDP over multiple authorities, so that no single authority can impersonate or track its users. By not requiring users to store any long-lived credentials, the OLYMPUS framework will not rely on any protected hardware or software environments on user devices and will be able to offer a much better-streamlined user experience.


OLYMPUS addresses the security problems of virtual identities by linking citizens’ physical identities to their digital identities, but in such a way that new digital identities can be derived to preserve citizens’ privacy when accessing different online and offline services.


Two use cases to demonstrate the privacy-preserving advantages of the solution will be presented one focused on mobile Driver Licence (mDL)  and other related to Credit identity and credit reporting scenario.
 

Main goals of this speech:

  • Identity framework supporting solid links between citizens’ physical and digital identities


  • Solution based on distributed cryptography to split up the role of the IDP over multiple authorities

  • Interoperability with existing identity management frameworks (IdM) such as SAML, Identity Mixer, or OpenID Connect
