Bachelor/Master Thesis

Privacy Study of the Swiss e-ID

This thesis studies the design of the upcoming Swiss Digital identity e-ID under the lens of privacy. The goal is to evaluate its technological architecture and draw conclusion with respect to the privacy of citizens. The framework for analysis will draw on the recent research literature in privacy, data minimization, and privacy-enhancing technologies; particularly relevant is the material covered in the course “Privacy and Data Security”, but the analysis will go beyond that.

The study may consider alternative designs, extensions, or fixes if the results are not satisfactory.
