Aldenburg — a university town trying digital ID

This is a fictional European city you can click through. People keep credentials in a phone wallet. Offices hand them out. Shops and services ask for only what they need — your age at a concert, a diploma at a job interview, or the city you live in for municipal services.

What you are looking at

A working demo, not a government ID

Aldenburg ID shows how eIDAS 2.0-style credentials could feel in daily life. It is not a certified EUDI wallet and not a real national identity scheme.

You share facts, not your whole life

Pulse Arena can learn “over 18: yes” without seeing your name or birthday. That is selective disclosure — the point of the demo.

Each hostname is a real product in town

Registry, arena, university, city portal, and Helix are separate services with their own desks. Start with a PID in the wallet, then hop between them.

Words we use

Wallet
The phone app that stores credentials. Nothing lives in a cloud account.
PID
Your digital ID from the Civil Registry: name, city, nationality, and whether you are over 18.

An office that puts a credential in your wallet — registry, university, or Helix HR.
Verifier
A place that asks for one or two facts, not the whole credential — a door, a box office, a portal.
