Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations: building the Dutch digital identity wallet

The EU’s European Digital Identity (EDI) initiative aims to give every EU citizen access to a secure digital identity wallet within the next few years. On behalf of ICTU, we are working on a Dutch prototype for the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (BZK) that can serve as a European example.

Influence on development

With its own digital wallet, the Netherlands seeks to positively influence the development of the European wallet. This is primarily to ensure that the digital tool meets strict privacy and security requirements.

Design & development

Privacy as a priority

The wallet allows citizens to demonstrate, for example, that they have a driver's license, are over eighteen, or have a diploma. The principle is that citizens share a minimal amount of data when demonstrating this. This allows you to prove that you are over eighteen without revealing your date of birth. By applying privacy and security by design, we’re immediately raising the bar at the European level.

Conclusion

Value-driven digitalization

This project contributes to the Ministry of BZK’s Value-Driven Digitalization agenda. Which ensures that digital transformation happens responsibly, protecting citizens’ rights and guaranteeing that everyone can participate.

Maintaining an aircraft engine with AI

Did you know that a single aircraft engine contains around 4,800 precision bolts? Each of these bolts requires regular maintenance to ensure flight safety. KLM Engineering & Maintenance is responsible for this process. In collaboration with DZB Leiden, the bolts are washed, inspected, and resorted. But how do you sort 4,800 bolts quickly, accurately, and efficiently? That’s where Dawn Technology came in.
