It sought to provide solutions for the digitisation and secure exchange of State-certified data, so that the State can issue a digital attestation in addition to physical and PDF documents. These digital attestations will present data in a structured format that can be automatically read and verified in real time without contacting the issuer. The call focused on a verifiable digital residency attestation for citizens, but the expectation is that the final concept will be extended to other documents.

Sicpa (Spain) and InCert GIE form the second Luxembourg collaboration, playing on Sicpa’s expertise as proven in its digital seal technology, Certus, which enables document issuers like government bodies to issue tamper-proof certificates and documents. InCert, focuses on national cyber security and cases requiring confidence, security, authenticity and traceability related to identity management and digital certificates.

The collaborations will compete alongside InfoCert SpA, an Italian digital trust service provider active in research and innovation, Procivis AG, a Swiss firm specialised in eGovernment as a service and Walt.id, an Austrian operator whose toolbox includes the digitisation of paper credentials and automation of data provision across a range of use cases.
