Result description
This Distributed Identity and Access Management Framework is an open-source, monorepo-based architecture tailored for circular supply chains. It replaces traditional centralized logins with a decentralized trust engine. Key technical pillars include:
● On-Chain Role Management: A smart contract-based RoleRegistry deployed on Alastria Blockchain network that acts as the single source of truth for user, developer, and admin permissions.
● Cryptographic Engine & W3C Compliance: A core library generating dynamic W3C VC v2 structures and EIP-712 schemas.
● Advanced Security: A dedicated Challenge Service (backed by Redis) that generates nonces to ensure robust replay protection during the verification flow.
Dual Authentication Agents: Supports seamless DApp frontend integration for human users (using Wagmi/RainbowKit) alongside headless Raspberry Pi agents for automated IoT/M2M authentication.
Addressing target audiences and expressing needs
- Grants and Subsidies
- Other blended financing
- Collaboration
We are looking for public funding bodies and industrial early adopters to pilot this distributed identity framework in real-world manufacturing environments. Specifically, we need support to standardize the schema registries across different industrial sectors and to integrate the IoT/Raspberry Pi edge agents into live factory floors for secure Machine-to-Machine (M2M) material tracking.

R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
The core architecture has been designed, developed, and validated at component level. It includes a smart contract-based RoleRegistry, a cryptographic engine producing W3C VC v2 credentials with EIP-712 schemas, and a Challenge Service for replay protection. The solution has been demonstrated, with next steps focusing on integration testing and IoT-ready authentication deployment.
The monorepo structure (separating apps/contracts, apps/issuer, apps/verifier, apps/web) and reliance on standard JSON-LD schemas allow it to be easily replicated across any industrial sector (e.g., textiles, automotive, electronics) requiring trusted data exchange.
By utilizing standardized, open-source libraries and leveraging Alastria’s established public-permissioned network, the system avoids the prohibitive gas fees of public mainnets while ensuring long-term technological relevance and European regulatory alignment.
