The Switzerland-based startup, Procivis, a leading provider of digital identity solutions, has been selected by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for the Silicon Valley Innovation Program (SVIP). As part of this program, which focuses on privacy, security and interoperability among different digital identity protocols, formats, and credential systems, Procivis will further develop its pioneering Provicis One solution for the DHS.

Procivis will work together with other selected companies on the privacy, security and interoperability of digital credentials and protocols required from DHS. The award to Procivis underscores the DHS's confidence in Procivis, with its experts and its innovative software solution, Procivis One, for secure, decentralized digital identities.

Procivis One is a modular end-to-end solution for digital identities and credentials that meets all technical specifications for the Swiss E-ID ecosystem, the European eIDAS 2.0 regulation, DHS requirements, and many other requirements. Due to its modular and flexible architecture, additional requirements can be quickly integrated.

Procivis One was developed from scratch by a team of experts, with a focus on flexibility, privacy, security, and scalability. Procivis One can be installed and operated independently by our customers. As a result, our customers have full control, privacy, and sovereignty. It also allows for seamless integration into existing e-ID systems and mobile apps.

As part of the SVIP, Procivis Co-CEO Andreas Freitag demonstrated Procivis One during the Demo Week from May 21-22, 2024.

Features of Procivis One:

• Operation & Control: Procivis One can be installed and operated anywhere. Control lies entirely with the operator.
   
• Deployment-Ready: This new solution meets all the requirements for productive use in authorities and companies, including support and further development.
   
• Flexible: The Procivis One architecture includes various protocols, is expandable, and meets national and international requirements, such as the draft of the Swiss E-ID law, the updated eIDAS 2.0 regulation, and the requirements of the DHS.
   
• Performant: The Procivis solution is suitable for millions of users and millions of E-IDs and other verifiable, digital credentials and information. 

• End-to-end: Procivis One includes all the modules necessary for an e-ID or other systems, including issuance, management (wallet) and verification of digital credentials. And it can also be used modularly.
