MyAcademicID Blueprint Architecture

The blueprint contains the technical specifications of the Single European eID Scheme for Higher Education, including the connections between eduGAIN and eIDAS, the structure of the European Student Identifier and the functioning of the Service Provider Proxy.

MyAcademicID was funded by the Connecting Europe Facility programme in 2019-2020 in the context of the European Student Card initiative and delivered on the core promise to enable students to authenticate for their studies abroad using their home student account thanks to eduGAIN, connect their academic identities with their identities as natural persons thanks to the bridge with eIDAS national nodes and enable the once-only principle by introducing the European Student Identifier.
