Partisia Platform
Privacy-preserving credential issuance and verification using multi-party computation and zero-knowledge proofs to prove facts like age or residency without exposing personal data.
Partisia Platform Overview
Partisia Platform is 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.
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.
Partisia was spun out of Aarhus University by cryptographers including Professor Ivan Damgard, an IACR Fellow and 2015 RSA Award recipient whose work underpins modern MPC and zero-knowledge systems. The Partisia Platform project is funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator under Horizon Europe, and the platform is built for GDPR data minimisation, NIS2, and eIDAS 2.0 alignment. It targets regulated organisations across retail, gaming, streaming, finance, healthcare, and the public sector.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesProves a statement is true without revealing the underlying data, so one party can convince another of a fact while disclosing nothing else.
Enables joint computation over distributed private inputs without any party revealing their data to others, using garbled circuits, secret sharing, or oblivious RAM protocols.
Issues globally unique identifiers that resolve without a central registration authority, giving subjects control of their own identifiers.
Issues tamper-evident digital credentials whose authorship and integrity can be cryptographically verified by any relying party.
Verifies credentials a holder presents, confirming authorship and integrity through cryptographic proof rather than a call back to the issuer.
Lets a holder reveal only the specific attributes a verifier needs, instead of sharing the entire credential.
Provides a holder-controlled wallet that stores verifiable credentials and protects access to them.
