Granular access & audit trails for digital-government interactionsPublic SectorGrant every human, device, or AI agent precisely the permissions it needs—verifiable, revocable, and auditable across borders.
Why This MattersPublic-sector platforms are fast-tracking digital services—from customs portals to welfare payments—while tightening security and transparency mandates (eIDAS 2.0, EU AI Act, WTO TFA). When APIs still rely on static tokens or bilateral PKI links, a single mis-scoped credential can leak citizen data or stall critical workflows.Empeiria supplies the missing trust layer: portable, cryptographically signed credentials that travel with each request, giving agencies real-time control and an immutable audit trail.

Drivers for change

Legacy API keys offer blanket access and no native revocation hooks.
Cross-border exchanges need proofs that every party can validate independently.
New regulations demand fine-grained, evidence-backed permissions for AI-driven processes.

Manual certificate roll-overs create downtime and operational risk.

The Fix in 30 Seconds
number
Decentralised Identifier (DID)Each civil-service app, kiosk, sensor, or AI agent gets a unique, tamper-proof ID anchored on the Empe Blockchain or your national trust anchor.
number
Delegation CredentialA verifiable credential encodes scope (dataset / service), limits (frequency, value, geography), and expiry.
number
Continuous VerificationEvery call passes through the Verifier microservice; revoked or out-of-policy credentials are blocked in < 100 ms.

Flagship Use Case – Cross-Border Customs Clearance
Scenario

An AI-powered broker files import declarations on behalf of SMEs but must never modify tariff rates.

Grant

Officer Lea issues a credential: `{ "action": "submit_declaration", "max_value": "50 000 EUR/shipment", "expires": "2025-12-31" }`.

Act

The broker agent attaches the credential to each electronic declaration.

Verify

Both national customs systems validate the signature and policy independently.

Revoke

If irregularities appear, Lea revokes the credential; further filings are rejected instantly.

Outcome

Faster trade flows, no compromise on compliance.

Additional Use Cases

Inter-Agency Data Exchange

Health and social-care systems share records under scoped credentials that expire after the case closes.

Inspector Proof-of-Authority

Mobile inspectors present a DID-backed credential onsite; citizens can verify authenticity without contacting HQ.

Digital Social-Benefit Disbursement

A credential limits a payment bot to approved beneficiaries and daily caps, preventing fraud.

Smart-City Device Authentication

Edge sensors identify themselves with DIDs before posting data, enabling tamper-proof provenance.

Citizen Digital ID Access to Services

Citizens present a single eIDAS‑aligned credential to access tax, health, and social‑benefit portals; loss of the device triggers instant revocation, blocking misuse.

Reputation for Procure-Tech Bots

AI tender evaluators carry a credential summarising past accuracy and bias audits, accelerating trust adoption.

Technical
  • • DevelopersREST & SDKs (Node, Python, Go) deliver a verified request in under 30 minutes.
  • • Security TeamsOne-click revocation and chain-anchored proofs replace brittle certificate chains.
  • • ArchitectsRuns alongside OAuth or legacy smart-card PKI; no rip-and-replace required.
  • • PerformanceSub-100 ms verification adds negligible latency to citizen workflows.
Get Started

1. Register a service or agent wallet in the dashboard to obtain its DID.

2. Issue a Delegation Credential defining dataset, limits, and expiry.

3. Call the sample Public-Sector API and watch live verification in the console.

FAQ
Quuestion
Is this compliant with eIDAS 2.0 and the EU Digital Identity Wallet?
Answer
Yes. Empeiria credentials follow W3C VC & DID Core and can be presented via OpenID4VP, aligning with forthcoming wallet specifications.
Quuestion
Can we run this on-premises or in a sovereign cloud?
Answer
Absolutely. The Issuer and Verifier microservices are containerised and can anchor proofs to your own L1 or to the Empe Blockchain with stable-fee economics.
Quuestion
How does this interact with existing smart-cards or eID tokens?
Answer
Use your national PKI to authenticate the issuer; Empeiria handles credential creation and revocation on top, enabling gradual migration without disrupting citizens.
Quuestion
What if an agent breaches policy?
Answer
Revoke its credential. Enforcement propagates network-wide in seconds, blocking further requests.
Quuestion
Do developers need to master cryptography?
Answer
No. The SDK exposes simple JSON APIs; all crypto is handled under the hood.
Quuestion
What is the verification latency?
Answer
Typically < 100 ms, including on-chain status and policy checks.
