35 years of research. One mission.
From the first commercial privacy-preserving computation to the identity platform enterprises use today.
Our Mission
Current identity systems store what they should verify.
Every scanned passport and copied ID creates a central database of personal data. That database will be targeted, and when it is breached, you are liable.
Partisia builds verification products that give people full control over their digital identity. Identity should be portable and user-owned, private by default.
We build the identity infrastructure for eIDAS 2.0. Enterprises use it to verify, issue, and manage digital credentials ahead of the EU mandate. When additional privacy is needed, Multi-Party Computation keeps data encrypted even during processing.

Vision
Digital credentials should be verifiable everywhere without users giving up their personal data. Privacy is a guarantee built into the protocol.
Strategy
Build identity infrastructure that meets eIDAS 2.0 and the strictest compliance requirements. Deliver through two paths: ready-to-use products (VisitorPass, AgeVerify) and the Partisia Platform for custom deployments.
Our Journey
From academic research to commercial deployment.
Proof of Concept
Ivan Damgård publishes foundational research on secure computation at Aarhus University.
First Commercial Deployment
The world's first commercial privacy-preserving computation goes live: a Danish sugar beet auction run entirely on encrypted data.
Sepior Founded
The team spins out Sepior, a key management company later acquired by Blockdaemon.
Norwegian Spectrum Auction
Partisia designs and operates the privacy-preserving auction for Norway's 1800 MHz spectrum allocation. NOK 878 million in spectrum rights traded across 83 bidding rounds.
Partisia Identity
Partisia shifts to Decentralized Identity. Launches VisitorPass and AgeVerify on the Partisia Platform.
Enterprise Partnerships
Partnerships with TOPPAN Edge (digital student ID) and Trust Stamp (biometric identity). Mastercard Lighthouse FINITIV Denmark Country Winner.
Serving Enterprises
Based in Aarhus, Denmark. Trusted by Bosch, TOPPAN Edge, Rigshospitalet, and Trust Stamp across hospitality, healthcare, government, and finance.
Cryptographic provenance
35+ years of peer-reviewed research from Aarhus University — the institution behind foundational contributions to modern cryptography.
1989 – Present
Research
Peer-reviewed MPC research from Aarhus University. Protocols used across the security industry.
2008 – Present
Commercial MPC
15+ years of commercial MPC deployments, including the Danish sugar beet auction (the first large-scale MPC application).
2023 – Present
