* [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.

OnboardSSI focuses on providing a secure and user-friendly wallet solution creating an easier way for citizens to manage their identity.

> The transition to an ecosystem of digital credentials, initiated by the federal governments 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.

> 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

> 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 peoples 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 users 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).
