APTITUDE (Advanced Project for Trusted Identity Technologies and Unified Digital Ecosystem) builds on the insights of the previous LSPs NOBID, DC4EU, POTENTIAL and EWC, marking a key step toward aligning the European Union with the ambitions of the Digital Decade.
The project aims to simplify, secure, and accelerate citizens' everyday lives by enabling a single digital identity for multiple applications. Through real-life pilot use cases (Digital Travel Credentials, Ticketing & Check-in, Mobile Vehicle Registration Certificate, and Payments & Banking) the project will test the European Digital Identity Framework in key areas such as travel, transportation and financial services. Citizens will be able to travel and check in using digital credentials instead of physical documents, make secure electronic and physical payments with strong authentication, and access services such as banking, vehicle registration, and transportation seamlessly, all while maintaining full control over their personal data.
A central pillar of the project is ensuring that the Digital Identity Wallet remains human-centric, secure, interoperable, and fully compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), giving citizens full control over their personal data while ensuring the highest privacy and security standards.
