Digital identity:
Basis for real data sovereignty

In an increasingly interconnected world, trust is becoming the hardest currency. Whether human, company or machine – in digital ecosystems, all participants must be identifiable before data can be securely exchanged.
This is exactly where digital identities come in. They are the prerequisite for data rooms based on the principles of Gaia-X to function at all. Sovereign, interoperable and secure.
As the Gaia-X Digital Clearing House (GXDCH), PFALZKOM is actively involved in the development of this new identity infrastructure. This is how we are creating a valid basis of trust in a digital world in which data sovereignty and transparency determine global dependencies.

Gaia-X in detail

Verification and trust in the data ecosystem

PFALZKOM is an accredited Gaia-X Digital Clearing House (GXDHC) and thus part of a Europe-wide network of decentralized trust nodes. We ensure that only authorized organizations, people and machines have access to Gaia-X data rooms.

In concrete terms, this means

  • Verification of organizations, persons and machines
  • Issuing and checking proof of identity
  • Checking the authorizations for data access
  • Implementation of trust rules on a technical and legal level

Digital identities in detail - with PFALZKOM

Digital identities consist of three core components that combine to form a forgery-proof, decentralized signature.

DID -
Decentralized Identifier

✔ Unique, decentralized and secure identifier for persons, organizations or devices - without any central authority.

VC -
Verifiable Credential

✔ Supporting Europe's digital sovereignty
✔ Positioning as a responsible company
✔ Sustainable data management

VP -
Verifiable Presentation

✔ Standardized interfaces and cloud-to-cloud communication
✔ Integration into existing IT infrastructures
✔ Access to cross-industry data ecosystems (SmartIndustry, Catena-X, Mobility Data Space)

The legal framework eIDAS 2.0

The revised eIDAS Regulation creates an EU-wide standardized basis for digital identities and trust services.
