Digital identity and electronic personal identification have become key elements of modern life, crucial for individuals and nations in achieving efficient operation and meeting the needs of citizens. At the forefront of efforts to improve the quality of life, digital identity is becoming a key characteristic of an individual, enabling secure participation in the digital environment. Simultaneously, it serves as a tool for optimizing public and private services, contributing to the more effective functioning of society.
Growing demands for security and easier access to digital services place digital identity at the heart of contemporary social and economic development. Adapting to technical and legislative frameworks becomes crucial, especially considering the increasing dependence on online services and the ubiquity of digital technologies in everyday life.
The purpose of this master's thesis is to comprehensively present and analyze the concepts of digital identity and electronic personal identification in the context of Slovenia and European Union countries. With an emphasis on understanding the benefits and challenges for citizens, businesses, and the state, the research also includes a comparative analysis of practices in other European countries. With the gathered insights, we aim to identify opportunities for improvements in the existing system in Slovenia and contribute to the development and optimization of digital identity and electronic personal identification.
By using various methods, including descriptive analysis of key concepts, examination of legislative frameworks, comparative method for comparing digital public services, and synthesis of acquired knowledge, I found that Slovenia slightly surpasses the EU average regarding the DESI index. However, concerning the implementation of digital identity and electronic ID card, Slovenia was not among the fastest in the EU.
