Description
National identity schemes are often incompatible across borders, complicating access to essential services when moving internationally. IT systems struggle with verifying identities using localized attributes, causing inefficiencies, manual workarounds, and loss of student access. This is particularly problematic in education, where long-term access to academic records is necessary. Efforts within global identity federations and the EU aim to enhance interoperability using academic identities and ePassports. Addressing these challenges is essential for institutions managing cross-border identity assurance and secure access, as exemplified by the Swedish Student Information System, Ladok.
