The European Union Goes Decentralized - Standards and Technical Architecture Behind eIDAS V2
May 12, 2023

The European Union’s regulation on Digital Identity, eIDAS, is currently being overhauled to adopt decentralized identity principles. The goal is to provide all citizens and residents across the EU with highly secure and privacy preserving digital wallets that can be used to manage various digital credentials, from eIDs to diplomas to payment instruments. Decentralized identity principles aim at giving freedom of choice and control to the end-user. Ensuring security and interoperability, however, will be challenging — especially in the enormous scale in terms of users and use cases the EU is aiming at. The choices made in eIDAS will have a huge impact on digital identity in the EU and beyond.

The so-called “Architecture and Reference Framework” (ARF) defines the technical underpinnings of eIDAS v2. Many experts from the member states and the Commission have been working on this framework over the last year, trying to select the best combination of technologies and standards out of the enormous number available in the market today. This talk will introduce the ARF and explain what architectural patterns and technical standards are adopted and how the challenges mentioned above are addressed in order to leverage on the vision of the eIDAS v2 regulation.

Nat Sakimura - OpenID in the Digital ID Landscape: a Perspective from the Past to the Future
May 28, 2019

Digital identity has been under a constant evolution for the last 30 years. It started from a simple access control via user account within a system to a shared credential among the systems, then to the federated identity and bring-your-own-identity (BYOI). Modern usages are not only for access control but include such purposes like digital on-boarding (account opening), employee and customer relationship management. Among the many technologies out there, OpenID seems to have gained popularity in the market that you are probably using it without knowing it. This session explains the positioning of OpenID in the digital ID landscape and explores the future potential for both corporations and individuals for the coming years.

Cloud Signatures for the New eIDAS Wallet Ecosystem
May 11, 2023

To enhance interoperability between digital identity schemes and digital trust services across borders, the eIDAS regulation provides a legal framework for electronic signatures in the EU, defining how to use them to ensure their validity across Europe. eIDAS2 now includes plans for the creation of a European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDIW). Cloud signatures are expected to play a vital role across this new ecosystem by enabling natural and legal persons to electronically sign and seal documents and transactions with high-assurance remote digital signing certificates. Cloud signatures based on the Cloud Signature Consortium (CSC) Standard can help achieve cross-border interoperability via specifications and certification for the usage of Remote Electronic Signatures and Seals in this new pan-European digital identity ecosystem.

Join us to learn about the new CSC Standard general architectural framework in specific eIDAS context (Kim Nguyen, CSC Board Member, D-Trust) and for a technical deep-dive into the recently launched CSC Standard version 2.0 (Luigi Rizzo, Chair of the CSC Technical Committee, InfoCert).

Panel | Digital Identities and IoT - How to Leverage OIDC and OAuth 2.0 for the Best User Experience and Security! IAM Related Experiences From the Automob
Sep 15, 2021

A lot of innovation around physical products is created by connectivity, allowing them to become part of the consumer's larger digital ecosystem and the providing enterprise. Gartner says in its megatrends for the next decade: "Anything costing more than a few USD will be "intelligent and networked". Examples are electronic wall boxes to charge cars or remote-control for dishwashers, cars, etc.
Several compelling use cases require smart things to act not only for themselves but also on behalf of the end-user. OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 can be used to provide a user-friendly and secure user journey. Learn about the experiences with these standards when it is about IoT and how Identity & Access Management products help to reduce time-to-market, costs, and inconsistency between different touchpoints.

Key Takeaways: 

- What are the essential protocols to bring identity and IoT together
- What are the challenges, best practices, and pitfalls of IoT projects
- Arguments for buy or build

EU Wallet – eIDAS 2.0: The New European Identity Framework is a Gamechanger
May 10, 2023

The existing eIDAS governance framework for digital identity is fragmented for different regulated markets in different EU countries. Today identity provider solutions for finance, healthcare and other regulated markets follow central approaches for the management of identities and consent in high secure data center environments and using legacy standards (e.g. OIDC, central public key infrastructure).

eIDAS 2.0 creates a EU wide identity ecosystem with adapted new standards, new stakeholders and a focus on using mobile devices. The existing roadmap allows to anticipate three to five years (or more) transition. For banking, insurance, healthcare or the public sector it is time to adopt these standards in their digital transformation strategy.

Based on the Gematik requirements for a federated identity provider with central OIDC compliant resource and authorization server Comuny shifted relevant identity provider functions (data storage + token generation) on the mobile device.

The speakers will describe challenges and solutions for this regulated market. They also discuss the chance to combine existing central OIDC flows with mobile decentral, wallet based principles as a bridge into the new eIDAS 2.0 governance framework. The audience will get a clear understanding about requirements, opportunities and practice details to create the transition into eIDAS 2.0 identity ecosystem.

The Decentralized Identity Journey has Begun in Financial Services
May 11, 2023

Learn how Raiffeisen Bank International heads toward decentralized identity to empower their customers across Europe and set the gold standard for privacy protection.

The increased mobility of users and their demand for personalized, unified omnichannel access experiences has stretched federated IAM beyond its limits. Meanwhile, the need for organizations to collaborate more to compete, and build communities of trust and value for those same users affordably and securely, cannot be met by existing federated IAM solutions. Learn how Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) will embrace the new paradigm of decentralized identity to improve existing experiences and create the opportunity for new, valuable user experiences and increased levels of engagement and collaboration withbusiness partners across multiple jurisdictions, without the need to replace their infrastructure. Simultaneously, understand why starting their journey now, enables RBI to future-proof their ecosystem to rapidly support the EU Digital Wallet and official digital credentials that will become available. Get a glimpse into the solution architecture being deployed at RBI and an understanding of the benefits and how they can be communicated to executive leadership and business partners. Yes, decentralized identity may be great for web3 someday; however, learn from RBI how it can also solve today’sproblems in a practical way and work in harmony with existing IAM systems enhancing existing federationplatforms.
