By 2024, all EU Member States have to make available a Digital Identity Wallet (DIW) to all citizens, residents and legal entities such as businesses. Once rolled out, DIW will enable Europeans to digitally interact with administrations and businesses across the EU in a state-of-the-art secure environment. The initiative will be based on existing national digital wallets and e-identity solutions, and will be interoperable across borders, allowing citizens to access services in other EU countries with ease.
eIDAS 2.0, the new proposal for a regulation governing the Digital Identity Wallet will revise some of the key challenges that held the initial version of the eIDAS regulation from becoming mainstream. Most importantly, instead of forcing a rigid, single ID throughout all member states, eIDAS 2.0 is enabling a framework of self-sovereign identity (SSI) implementations. In this track we will look into the current eIDAS 2.0 implementations and the use cases it is addressing.
