Behind the scenes of IRMA

Speaker: Pim Vullers

Abstract

IRMA (I Reveal My Attributes, https://www.irmacard.org/) is a research and development project focusing on attribute-based credentials and their use in practice. This project includes a pilot in which the users obtain a smart card which they can use to prove attributes about themselves.

In this talk I'll give a brief overview of what IRMA is, but the main focus will be on the technological components that enabled us to build this technology (and allows others to build applications and services on top of IRMA).

Biography

After completing the Computer Security master track of the Kerckhoffs Institute, Pim worked at the Radboud University in Nijmegen as a PhD student in the digital security group. His research on efficient implementations of attribute-based credentials on smart cards laid the foundation for the IRMA project.
