IDINA

The idea aims to develop a Non-Authoritative Digital Identity platform that can be implemented and widely used in countries that do not have central state identification systems for all their citizens.

It is therefore intended to develop mechanisms that allow representatives of credible institutions such as schools, health institutions or local authorities, to attest the birth place and experience of citizens on the basis of various events such as vaccination and entry into education. This platform may subsequently integrate or even take the role of authoritative registration.
