The so called Digidow Project aims to provide a decentralized solution for digital identity management. A key feature is to provide a service for authentication along with the identication of individual persons based on biometric features. In the center of this idea a so called personal agent should provide this decentralized functionality for each individual user. The sensitive nature of the data this agent handles requires a special level of security standards on both the implementation and surrounding system. This master thesis evaluates the programming language Rust as potential platform choice for the personal agent. We discuss the features Rust has been chosen for and which additional frameworks where selected and used to create the prototype we used for the evaluation. Furthermore, we dive into details about our prototype and present the implemented concepts. Moreover, we test our implementation and discuss our achievements, like isolated access to the hard drive, the developed concept behind the architecture and how incoming data is veried. Finally, we are going to discuss how future work can build on the introduced and existing concepts.
