Partisia Newsletter: May
How do we prove who we are in the digital world?
As our lives move online, so does the way we verify who we are. This edition focuses on digital identity and the technologies transforming how we establish trust digitally.
We share expert insights from the European Identity & Cloud Conference 2025, highlight our new partnership with Trust Stamp to make biometric digital IDs more secure and private, and a behind-the-scenes look at how universities can upgrade exam security with decentralized ID wallets.
Whether you’re building digital identity solutions or just trying to understand where the field is heading, we hope this issue gives you practical ideas and a glimpse into what’s next.
Enjoy the read. And if you’d like to continue the conversation, feel free to reach out as always.
European Identity and Cloud Conference 2025: 3 expert takeaways from Mark Medum Bundgaard
Hi everyone, Mark here. I’ve just returned from the European Identity and Cloud Conference 2025, and it’s clear that the digital identity space is evolving fast. Here are my top three takeaways from this year’s event:
1. Deepfakes are no longer a future threat, they’re a present danger.
AI-powered identity fraud is no longer a future threat, it’s a now problem. We’re entering an era where, even in live video calls, it’s harder than ever to know if the person you’re speaking to is actually who they say they are.
2. Trust can’t be an add-on, it needs infrastructure.
A clear theme across sessions: real digital trust must be built from the ground up. From finance and healthcare to public services, we need neutral, privacy-preserving infrastructure that supports trust by design. It’s no longer enough to patch privacy on after the fact.
3. Decentralized Identity is moving from concept to adoption.
2025 marks a turning point. Decentralized identity is being implemented in real-world systems. Banks, insurers, and even blue-collar sectors are rolling out solutions. With EU Digital Wallets expected in 2026, the window for preparation is closing fast. If you’re not building for this shift now, you’re already behind.
Bonus insight: Interoperability is the future of identity.
At our joint workshop with TOPPAN Edge, I had the pleasure of moderating a panel exploring the parallels between Japan and Denmark’s decentralized identity journeys. The big insight? Identity solutions must be both locally meaningful and globally interoperable. Without that dual focus, scaling securely and ethically will be impossible.
Thanks for tuning in. If you want to explore any of these topics further, feel free to reach out. Let’s keep the conversation going.

Partisia and Trust Stamp partner to make digital IDs safer and more private by securely linking them to unique biometrics
Biometric authentication is powerful, but what if you could link it to your digital ID without ever exposing the biometric data itself?
That’s exactly what Partisia and Trust Stamp are now making possible. By combining advanced Multi-Party Computation (MPC) with privacy-first biometrics, we’re introducing a game-changing approach to digital identity: one that’s secure, decentralized, and truly private by design.
