Identity management and authentication
What is a “digital identity”?
In our daily lives we constantly verify whether a particular person is who he/she claims to be. This verification is done by checking identity documents.
In the electronic world, every real person is “given” a digital identity. This is the person's representation in electronic systems. Whenever identity verification, also known as authentication, is required, it is represented by the digital identity.
The Digital Identity at TU Darmstadt
At TU Darmstadt, the central digital identity for all persons is generated by the Identity Management System (IDM) of HRZ and is called TU-ID.
For this purpose, data from source systems (e.g. human resources management or the student administration system) is taken from a natural person and the TU-ID is generated directly. Employees who are not registered via the human resources management or the student administration system can be entered manually and given a TU-ID. This enables every member and member of the TU to receive a TU-ID.
