Service: Decentralized identity platform

Responsible organisation: Generalitat de Catalunya (Regional Government)

The government of Catalonia is developing a decentralized identity platform aimed to give citizens control of their own data when interacting with online services.The IdentiCAT project qualifies and digitally empowers Catalan citizens so they may carry out activities with full assurance and security. The platform will be based on distributed ledger technology (DLT), with the Catalan government acting as the validator for the network. The government will not collect users' personal data as part of the scheme. IdentiCAT is developed to align with the 2014 EU's elDAS rules on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions. As such, IdentiCAT users will be able to access online services and carry out electronic transactions in any EU member state.
