Partisia Credential APIs

What it does

Partisia Credential APIs form a Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PET) credential layer for issuing and verifying digital identity claims without exposing the personal data behind them. Its distinctive mechanism combines multi-party computation (MPC) and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) so a verifier learns only the fact being checked, such as whether a person is over 18 or resident in a given country, while names, dates of birth, and documents stay encrypted and are never decrypted by Partisia.

How it works

The platform follows the eIDAS 2.0 issuer, holder, and verifier model and exposes three primitives: credential issuance signed by the organisation, a library of zero-knowledge verification flows, and optional wallet integration. Developers work through issuer, holder, and verifier SDKs for TypeScript, Java, Go, and Python, where issuing and verifying a credential each take a single SDK call. Credentials follow the EU Architecture and Reference Framework and the SD-JWT-VC standard, with adapters for the EU Digital Identity Wallet and national eIDs such as MitID. Two productised flows, VisitorPass and AgeVerify, are built on the same primitives.

Credentials and traction

Partisia Credential APIs are built for GDPR data minimisation and NIS2, and the credentials they issue are compatible with the EU Architecture and Reference Framework and the SD-JWT-VC credential standard for interoperability with European Digital Identity Wallets. Its cryptography lineage traces to work recognised by the IACR and the 2015 RSA Award for Excellence in the Field of Mathematics won by co-founder Ivan Damgård, an IACR Fellow.
