One verified identity for every public service.
Give citizens a single passwordless credential — a web passport — to access services, sign documents, and prove who they are, with privacy and auditability built in.
Inclusion, privacy, and trust at national scale.
One credential, every service
Tax, health, benefits, voting portals — one verified web passport instead of dozens of logins.
Privacy by selective disclosure
Citizens prove only what's needed — "over 18", "resident" — without exposing full records.
No password to phish
Phishing-resistant by design — a major reduction in citizen-account fraud and helpdesk load.
Standards-based, sovereign-friendly, and inclusive by default.
Public-sector FAQ
The issuing authority. Paswad stores public keys and minimal attributes; documents are verified then handled per your retention rules, in-country.
Hardware security keys and assisted in-person enrollment provide an inclusive, offline-capable fallback.
Yes — the web passport can be bound to an existing national identifier as the verified anchor, with passkeys layered on top.
e-Citizen identity, answered
How public-sector teams think about the web passport, citizen privacy, inclusion, and digital signing.
What is a web passport for national e-citizen identity?
A web passport is a single verified digital credential that lets a citizen prove who they are and access every public service — tax, health, benefits — without a separate login each time. Identity is verified once and anchored to a phishing-resistant passkey, so there is no password to steal and no central honeypot of reusable secrets.
How does Paswad protect citizen privacy?
Paswad uses selective disclosure: a citizen can prove a single fact — "over 18" or "a resident" — without exposing their full record. The issuing authority controls the data and can host it in-country for residency requirements. Built on open FIDO2 and WebAuthn standards, the design avoids vendor lock-in and keeps minimal attributes on file. More in our security overview.
How does Paswad include citizens without a smartphone?
Inclusion is a first-class design goal. Citizens can enroll and authenticate with a low-cost hardware security key instead of a phone, and assisted in-person enrollment provides an offline-capable path at service counters. Because the system is standards-based, it works across devices and assistive technologies rather than locking citizens into one app or platform.
Can citizens digitally sign government documents?
Yes. A single passkey touch produces a cryptographic signature bound to the exact document and the citizen's verified identity, creating a tamper-evident, auditable record for filings, consents, and applications. Paswad is the identity and signing layer only — it never holds citizen funds or runs the underlying service systems.
