During this research, he contributed to several national and international research projects and activities, including:

Research projects

  • EU Large Scale Pilot STORK 2.0: EU Large Scale Pilots on eID federation
  • FP7-ICT FutureID that focus on a comprehensive, flexible, privacy-aware and ubiquitously usable identity management infrastructure for Europe.
  • CEF project Hosted Virtual Identity Provider for the Austrian eID System that focus on designing and developing of eIDAS compliant eID System for the Austrian government.
  • CEF project eID4U that focus on using eID in universities
  • CEF project SEMPER that enhance eIDAS with electronic mandates
