MOSIP - OSS Platform for building National Identities
summary
An open source, modular architecture identity platform that provisions resident digital IDs, performs biometric enrollment and authentication, and supports eKYC; code and docs live at open-source on GitHub. Deployments underway in Morocco, Philippines (~110 million population) and Guinea (~15–18 million), with centers of excellence planned with World Bank and Carnegie Mellon. Built-in virtual ID/tokenization provides short‑lived, revocable identifiers to avoid exposing a fixed primary key. The stack emphasizes configurability for varied national needs and is already in active implementation.
