> The EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) is set to become law; it will require the biggest tech companies in the world (Apple, Google and Facebook, and maybe a few others) to open up their instant messaging services (iMessage, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, and maybe a few others) so that smaller messaging services can plug into them. These smaller services might be run by startups, nonprofits, co-ops, or even individual tinkerers.

* [eSSIF-Lab Principles](https://essif-lab.github.io/framework/docs/essifLab-principles) 2022-10-06
> [Trust](https://essif-lab.github.io/framework/docs/terms/trust) is not something that is given, but something that [parties](https://essif-lab.github.io/framework/docs/terms/party) (un)consciously assess, and decide about, and changes over time. Since parties are autonomous, their trust is highly subjective. As a consequence, the idea of having 'trusted registries', 'trusted issuers' that do not take this subjectivity into account basically act as [(centralized) authorities](https://essif-lab.github.io/framework/docs/terms/authority), denying that parties are autonomous. While we acknowledge that such ideas (have a right to) exist, we do not follow them.

> The objectives of the eSSIF-Lab project itself include:
> - empower European and other citizens by providing them with new means that help them to electronically negotiate and conduct transactions. These new means will make electronic transactions fast and safe both in the Internet and in physical life, and eliminate logins.
> - empower European and other organizations and governments by providing new means to speed up, secure and automate transactions with citizens, customers, suppliers and partners, resulting in tens of billions of euros savings annually on administrative costs in Europe.
> - **ensure these new means support organizations and citizens to exercise their rights and fulfil their duties under the GDPR.**
> - stimulate these new means foster inclusiveness.
> - stimulate the pervasive use of new business ecosystem paradigms with thousands of new jobs, many new job categories and new business opportunities for existing and new European companies.

> The SSI mandate service is a generic and holistic approach to provide and request mandates. Mandates are SSI credentials signed by the dependent that can be requested by either the dependent or authorized representative. These credentials can be used to prove to a verifier that the authorized representative is authorized to act for specific actions on behalf of the dependent.

> The concept of SSI was designed with the citizen and privacy in mind. However, existing implementations lack user-friendliness (e.g. showing hash codes to users), creating potential barriers in users’ adoption. OnboardSSI focuses on providing a secure and user-friendly wallet solution creating an easier way for citizens to manage their identity.

> An initial contribution to the ongoing meta-level debate about the development of the e-ID ecosystem in Switzerland.
> The transition to an ecosystem of digital credentials, initiated by the federal government’s directional decision, is a generational project that requires input from – and collaboration between – government, the private sector, academia, and civil society. This document is intended to serve as an initial contribution to the ongoing meta-level debate about the development of the e-ID ecosystem in Switzerland. As this field continues to evolve, the document can be understood as an early expert perspective that reflects the views from private sector organisations and academic institutions and will be further refined in future versions.

How to demonstrate value of a constantly developing technology before all open issues are clarified? These uncertainties seemingly dominated the recent participation conference organized by the federal project team as the start of a series of similar events to accompany in the most transparent way the development and legislation of the newly proposed E-ID-Ecosystem for Switzerland.

> After rejection of the e-ID Act in March 2021, the Swiss Federal government is working at full speed on a new proposal. The first results were published in a [discussion paper](https://www.bj.admin.ch/dam/bj/en/data/staat/gesetzgebung/staatliche-e-id/diskussionspapier-zielbild-e-id.pdf.download.pdf/diskussionspapier-zielbild-e-id.pdf) is one of three possible solutions proposed for the implementation of the future e-ID.

> From the moment Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) was identified as a possible solution for the new Swiss E-ID, this new technology has moved into the spotlight – even more so following the Decision of the Federal Council of December 17, 2021. It becomes increasingly clear that SSI goes far beyond issuing a digital identity card. It unlocks its full potential in the context of an ecosystem of digital credentials. The federal government has confirmed this in its Discussion paper on the target vision for an e-ID and illustrated the potential by means of three levels of ambition

It will demonstrate the possibility of combining two verifiable credentials (basic ID and certificate of residence) and using them in a digitalized process. In this process, the wallet serves as a kind of «integration tongs» and enables data minimization, since only relevant data from the two verifiable credentials is disclosed.

The identity created in this way then enables secure and easy access to various electronic government services without additional logins and passwords. In addition, the eID + app allows documents to be stored securely on the mobile phone so that they are always at hand.

> In addition to additional government services, eID + is also to be used as an electronic identification medium in the private sector.

> The UK faces a number of digital ID challenges beyond consumer adoption that could slow projects down, particularly when it comes to government-backed programmes. IT and business consulting firm Netcompany was one of a number of firms involved in the NHS Covid Pass scheme, which highlighted the complexity that sits behind any government system in the UK.

> “The UK struggles more than some other European countries because we don’t have a unique digital identifier, and that does make it very difficult when you’re trying to deliver something new,” says Richard Davies, UK managing partner at Netcompany, which is also working on the EU digital ID scheme. "You’re effectively having to stitch together or at least navigate what’s under the covers."

> The government is committed to realising the benefits of digital identity, without creating ID cards. Earlier this year we published a draft of the [UK digital identity and attributes trust framework](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-uk-digital-identity-and-attributes-trust-framework). This document sets out what rules and standards are needed to protect people’s sensitive identity data when used digitally. We will put in place the necessary framework and tools so that digital identity products enhance privacy, transparency, confidence and inclusion, and that users are able to control their data, in line with the principles published in the [2019 Call for Evidence response](https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/digital-identity/outcome/digital-identity-call-for-evidence-response). We are also developing and piloting a new ‘One Login for Government’ system that will make it easier for everyone to access government services, with users only having to provide data to prove their identity once, and protecting privacy throughout.

> Identity service providers can be authorised by a user to share the verified digital identity with relying parties. The relying party can then use this to give them access to the service or create an account. Other identity service providers might choose to create an account associated with a user’s identity. The user can then use and reuse this account to do different things with different relying parties. For example:
> - identity verification services (which offers a point in time verification, and the user may or may not have an account)
> - reusable digital identity services with an account and authentication (federated, self sovereign identity (SSI), wallet), and
> - reusable authentication services with an account and authentication (federated, SSI, wallet).

To this end, we have  been encouraged by the proactive approach of DCMS in creating forums where the 5 certification bodies can discuss ideas and feedback on the program in action.
