The Modular Open Source Identity Platform (MOSIP), in collaboration with Artha India Research Advisors, conducted a study to assess how effectively the platform supports countries in aligning their Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) with the recommendations of the UN Universal DPI Safeguards Framework, released in September 2024.

Both MOSIP and the DPI Safeguards Framework share a commitment to building safe, inclusive, and equitable DPI ecosystems. Our findings highlight strong convergence on foundational principles, including privacy protection, minimal data collection, and user control over personal information, underpinned by transparency, accountability, and active multi-stakeholder participation.

To translate these principles into practice, MOSIP integrates capabilities such as differential privacy and zero-knowledge encryption to reinforce data security, while advancing interoperability and decentralisation through its modular open-source architecture and contributions to global standards. A preliminary mapping exercise shows that, of the 43 recommendations across 9 principles of the Framework for technology providers, MOSIP’s platform, processes, and practices align with over 30. In addition, MOSIP has provided inputs drawn from its engineering and technology practices for consideration in strengthening the UN Universal DPI Safeguards Framework.
