Passkeys have proven themselves to be the most effective phishing-resistant authentication method at scale globally - but their potential now extends much further. What happens when this same model is applied to securing the future of digital identity wallets?
As part of the revision of the EU common identity framework regulation, also known as eIDAS 2.0, EU Member States will all soon implement a new common structure for electronic credentials based on digital identity wallets. This includes the development of a European Digital Identity (EUDI) wallet.
In this session, we will present the current state of digital identity wallets, what the future development looks like, and how passkeys (FIDO / WebAuthn) as open authentication standard for built-in and external devices will be used to secure digital identities moving forward. We’ll highlight how these complement each other and look in the real-world by showcasing different ongoing large-scale EU pilots. Additionally, we will share how enterprises and governments can use passkeys to build strong trust in wallet deployments without compromising user experience.
