Our mission

Verify what matters, without exposing what doesn't

Individuals should stay in control of their personal data, while organizations still meet compliance requirements, establish trust, and keep the experience simple for the people they serve.

Organizations check only the fact they need, such as an age or a right to enter, instead of collecting and storing the document behind it.

Partisia was founded by pioneers of confidential computing, which lets computers work on data while it stays encrypted. Our team, spun out of Aarhus University, has spent more than three decades turning cryptographic research into systems that governments, banks and companies use.

Partisia is a co-author of the Architecture and Reference Framework, the technical specification the EU Digital Identity Wallet is built to, so the standard we build against is one we helped write.
