"Centralized models can be divided into two. The Scandinavian and The Continental Identity models. In the Scandinavian model private companies (financial and telecom firms) provide a centralized digital identity service to interact with the government (TUPAS in Finland or BankID in Sweden etc). In the Continental model, Governments provide digital identity services to companies allowing interaction with their citizens."
"In centralized identity systems, a single entity acts as an identity provider that authenticates users to relying parties and transfers their attributes. These systems are often designed to streamline service delivery, enable data aggregation and provide a single view of users across multiple relying parties."
