FIDIS - Future of Identity in the Information Society

FIDIS logo

Establishing standards and best practices, with applications in public architecture, related research, and law and ICT applications

The vision of the Network of Excellence FIDIS (Future of Identity in the Information Society) is that Europe will develop a deeper understanding of how appropriate identities and identity management can pave the way to a fairer European information society.

It aims to integrate European research with regard to:

  • Technologies to support identity and identification
  • Interoperability of identity and identification concepts
  • ID-theft, privacy, and security
  • Profiling and forensic implications

Expected results of FIDIS will be:

  • Integrated approaches to research
  • Legal, socio-economic, usability, and application requirements
  • Public architecture and specifications

We are one of the key industry advisors of this network of excellence.

FIDIS receives research funding from the EU 6th Framework Program
