Switzerland’s First Production Use of Verifiable Credentials
Aug 31, 2024
In September 2024, the City of Zug launched Switzerland’s first production use case for verifiable credentials, powered by Procivis One technology. The project used an adoption-friendly setup by extending the existing eGovernment App with an embedded identity wallet. This enabled user-friendly, secure verifiable credential use cases in a widely used app with over 10,000 users, avoiding additional adoption hurdles. Built on open standards like W3C Verifiable Credentials, the solution ensures interoperability, compliance with evolving regulations, and provides a scalable, future-proof foundation for digital public services. Procivis One is globally interoperable, enabling secure digital credentialing across jurisdictions, government frameworks, and private sector. As a result, the solution benefits Swiss public administration while extending to international stakeholders like the EU in cross-border identity management for authorities and private companies.
