🚀 IAM Coding Day 2025 has landed at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)! Over the next 24 hours, 14 students will partner with iC Consult engineers to push the limits of Enterprise #IAM. 💡This year, the focus is on #DecentralizedIdentities (DID) in a Microsoft Entra environment, with two hands-on challenges set the pace: 1. Fine-grained report access for external partners - powered by Verifiable Credentials and policy-driven authorization. 2. RentalBot for on-demand company cars - issuing wallet-ready credentials that unlock vehicles with a tap. Why is this future-proof? Decentralized, standards-based credentials remove silos, enable Zero Trust collaboration, and pave the way for truly #passwordless user journeys - inside and across enterprises. We can’t wait to see the prototypes that emerge! #IAMExcellence #IAMCodingDay #KIT #Identity
