Digital identity is increasingly important in our times. With our digital identity we can vote electronically, communicate safely and privately, pay taxes, sign documents...

We will explain what are the most important techniques currently and give an idea of its bases and current standards and protocols, so that a professional will knows the scientific basis of these techniques.
