Verified Identity for Issuing Diplomas to Digital Wallets

Challenge

Alumni (former students) of a university should be able to receive a digital diploma. This diploma can be used for various purposes, such as:

  • Job applications

  • Availing discounts on further education and study materials

  • Free subscription to the university's magazine

  • Entry to alumni dinners


The digital diploma should be stored in a digital wallet controlled by the student. The university will issue these digital diplomas, and users must verify their identity using a DIGG-approved e-ID at trust level 3 during the issuance process.

The university wants to verify the identity (typically a personal identity number) by comparing it with the university's records to confirm whether the student has graduated. The issuance should be administratively simple, secure, and cost-effective.


Solution

The solution comprises several components:

  1. Issuance Software: Based on Entra ID.

  2. Digital Wallet: Any wallet supporting Verifiable Credentials, such as Microsoft Authenticator.

  3. Login: Provided by Fortified ID Integrity Web with DIGG-approved e-IDs at trust level 3 (e.g., BankID, Freja eID, Foreign eID).

  4. Verification: Fortified ID Integrity Web checks the university's records to confirm that the user is listed and has graduated.


The solution is cost-effective because:

  • Users are accustomed to using e-IDs privately.

  • Issuance of e-IDs is managed externally.

  • Easy integration of new, approved e-IDs.

  • Flexible verification of student graduation.

  • Minimal administrative burden on the organization.

  • Standardized integration.


Additional Information

The integration between Entra ID and Fortified ID Web follows a standardized flow based on OIDC (OpenID Connect).
