Call for Papers
12th Open Identity Summit 2025
May 22nd – May 23rd , 2025, Munich, Germany
https://www.unibw.de/oid
================================================================
Submission deadline: January 31st , 2025
================================================================
The aim of the Open Identity Summit 2025 is to link practical experiences and requirements with academic
innovations. The focus areas will be Research and Applications in the areas of Identity Management
Trust Services, Open Source, Internet of Things, Digital Wallets, Privacy, AI, and Cloud Computing.
Open standards and interfaces, as well as open-source technologies, play a central role in the current identity
and access management (IAM) landscape as well as in emerging future scenarios in electronic identification
and trust services for electronic transactions. Reliable identity management is an essential building block for
many applications and services, such as innovative payment services, digital manufacturing, and other
innovative applications in the areas of e-health, e-government, distributed ledgers, cloud computing, data
management for artificial intelligence, and the internet of things.
While there are already plenty of successful applications in which those techniques are applied to safeguard
authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality, there are still many closely related areas, which demand further
research. These include technical solutions that provide higher levels of transparency, intervenability, and
accountability. Moreover, the security and privacy properties of technologies are of paramount importance.
We invite stakeholders and technical experts from public administration, industry, science and academia to
propose contributions to the program of the workshop. Submissions should be short papers (max. 8 pages)
introducing novel ideas or industry experiences or full papers (max. 12 pages not including references) in
English. The program committee will review submitted papers in a double-blind process. Accepted papers
will be presented at the workshop and are planned to be published in the GI-Edition “Lecture Notes in
Informatics” (LNI) and listed in Scopus.
