About Partisia

Building the infrastructure for digital identity

Partisia builds the infrastructure for digital trust. We help organizations verify what matters, such as age, identity or access rights, without collecting or storing the personal data behind it. Founded in Aarhus in 2008, and built on more than three decades of cryptographic research at Aarhus University.

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.

Through decentralized identity, verifiable credentials, and privacy-enhancing technologies, organizations move from collecting and storing personal data to verifying only what they need.

Partisia was founded by pioneers in confidential computing, a breakthrough that lets computation and verification happen directly on encrypted data. Spun out of Aarhus University, our team has spent more than three decades turning advanced cryptographic research into real-world systems used by governments, financial institutions, and enterprises.

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.

Our story

From a research breakthrough to digital identity infrastructure

  1. 1990s

    Research roots

    Multiparty computation moves from theory toward practice at Aarhus University, where Partisia's founders were among its pioneers.

  2. Partisia is founded

    Partisia Applications ApS is founded in Aarhus, Denmark, to bring privacy-preserving verification to real-world organizations.

  3. eIDAS 2.0 becomes law

    eIDAS 2.0 enters into force, setting the stage for EU Digital Identity Wallets. Partisia builds for the new framework.

  4. Partnership with Vitani

    A strategic partnership with Vitani extends trusted identity into physical access control.

    The wallet era goes live

    Denmark launches AltID, the first national wallet on the EUDI track. The rollout Partisia builds for has started.
