Alastria ID , the basis of the initiative
This project is based on the Alastria digital identity model ( Alastria ID ). The company is the first multisector consortium , composed of 600 partners including large companies , SMEs , public authorities and academic institutions , which aims to establish a public permission-based Blockchain infrastructure , designed pursuant to Spanish and EU regulations .
Alastria ID has come about thanks to the cooperation of more than 100 members of this consortium , not only in terms of technical aspects and security , but also in legal terms , because Alastria brings leading digital technology lawyers into the design , to take account of all major regulatory aspects , particularly those concerning the General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR ).
