Open Digital Identity Solution

Digital Identities – for people and machines

Secure digital identities – trust in digital transactions and connected processes

Whether dealing with public authorities, banking, concluding contracts or M2M communication: more and more critical processes are taking place entirely in the digital realm. What they all have in common is that anyone acting digitally – be it a person, a system or an AI agent – must be verifiably identifiable.

adesso’s Open Digital Identity Solution (ODIS) addresses precisely this need. It combines services, technologies and standards into a comprehensive portfolio for the secure verification and management of digital identities – serving as the foundation for trustworthy, future-proof digital services.

As one of only three certified eID server providers in Germany, adesso combines in-depth technical know-how with industry expertise gained from over 500 projects. ODIS secures your digital business processes – today for people, and tomorrow for machines and AI agents too.

Why digital identities are indispensable today

The demands on identity management are growing rapidly. Companies face a threefold pressure:

  • Regulatory requirements: eIDAS 2.0, the Money Laundering Act (GwG), Section 21b of the German Identity Card Act (PAuswG) and the GDPR require verifiable, legally compliant identity verification.
  • Fraud and misuse: Without clear identification, payment defaults, data misuse and compliance risks increase significantly.
  • Agentic AI and M2M communication: AI agents are increasingly acting autonomously on behalf of companies – whether in customer service, supply chains or automated contract conclusion. They too must be identifiable and trustworthy. Digital identities thus become the foundation of secure, autonomous business processes.

Whether it’s AML-compliant identity verification, age verification for closed user groups or integration into an EUDI wallet infrastructure: ODIS offers the right solution for your industry and your use case.
