European Digital Identity and SSI single A digital identity available to all Europeans, enabling access to digital services across the EU and control over which information is shared with third parties By using the European Digital Identity, the user only has to select the necessary documents that are stored locally on his digital wallet to reply to the bank’s request. Then, verifiable digital documents are created and sent securely for verification to the bank, who can then continue with the application process. /government/europe/ https://decentralized-id.com/government/europe/

  • @EIC2022 Centralized & Decentralized Identity converging 2022-05-18 Martin Kuppinger

    For me, the most relevant new topic and trend was to finally see the convergence of decentralized identities (DID) and traditional approaches on IAM starting. DID, also referred to as SSI (Self Sovereign Identity) or verifiable credentials, is a concept where the user has a wallet that holds proofs of identities and attributes.

  • State of SSI in Europe and Necessity for Network-of-Networks (convened by Sovrin) 2021-05-06 Andre Kudra
    1. Hyperledger Indy and Aries technology stack
    2. ‘Network of networks’ which has been a key concept at the Sovrin Foundation
    3. The topic is meant to be a conversation as an outline based on material information which can be shared publicly
    4. EBSI is one of the funded projects from the EU
    5. ESSIF is one of the projects in this portfolio - have issued a request for proposal for consulting (not in the network of networks topic but other areas)
    6. Findy (Finland) - yet to go live. Has public and private partners.
    7. Projects underway at Spain and other member nations in EU
    8. Substantial funding behind Indy based technology stack deployments are being seen
    9. Germany has 3 major streams active in the identity space
  • [literature] Legal Identity, Development and Democracy in Northern Europe 2022-06-01 Jaap van der Straaten :: SSRN

    In circles of identity management scholars and practitioners, the general consensus is that the region of northern Europe provides a good practice example [...] Out of the eighteen countries included in northern Europe in this paper, one has no national ID; another denies it has, and seven countries only have a voluntary ID. The extent of national ID coverage is hardly known. Also in the European Union, only six in ten countries have a mandatory ID. It does not matter.

  • End-To-End Encryption is Too Important to Be Proprietary 2022-05-02 Cory Doctorow

    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.

  • The European Digital Identity Regulation 2023-04-08

    The Regulation amends Regulation (EU) 910/2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market (‘the eIDAS Regulation’). This amendment is required, as digitalisation of all functions of society has increased dramatically. The provision of both public and private services is increasingly becoming digital after the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • The European Declaration on Digital Rights puts people in the firing line of the digital transformation 2022-03-06 Jaap-Henk Hoepman

    By focusing on the risk to individual citizens, the Declaration complete ignores the systemic risks introduced by the digital transformation (and in general the reliance on so called programmable infrastructures, as expressed by Seda Gürses and Martha Poon among others).

  • Commission puts forward declaration on digital rights and principles for everyone in the EU 2022-01-26 EU Commission

    The draft declaration covers key rights and principles for the digital transformation, such as placing people and their rights at its centre, supporting solidarity and inclusion, ensuring the freedom of choice online, fostering participation in the digital public space, increasing safety, security and empowerment of individuals, and promoting the sustainability of the digital future.

    These rights and principles should accompany people in the EU in their everyday life: affordable and high-speed digital connectivity everywhere and for everybody, well-equipped classrooms and digitally skilled teachers, seamless access to public services, a safe digital environment for children, disconnecting after working hours, obtaining easy-to-understand information on the environmental impact of our digital products, controlling how their personal data are used and with whom they are shared.

  • Global state of SSI and how to build on it: EU report 2022-01-24

    The European Union’s cybersecurity agency has been busy typing up its research. The latest report is an overview of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) technologies, standards, providers and regulation from around the world with a view to their relevance applicability to the EU project for digital identity for individuals and businesses.

    • Digital Identity: Leveraging the SSI Concept to Build Trust

      It critically assesses the current literature and reports on the current technological landscape of SSI and existing eID solutions, as well as the standards, communities, and pilot projects that are presently developing in support of these solutions. This study takes a wide view of decentralised electronic identity, considers possible architectural elements and mechanisms of governance, and identifies security risks and opportunities presented by SSI in view of cross-border interoperability, mutual recognition, and technology neutrality as required by eIDAS.

  • Joining forces towards European digital credentials 2021-11-30 European Commission

    The European BlockchainPartnership is a group of 29 countries and the EC. We help public administrations accelerate the creation of trustworthy cross border digital services.9Having this opportunity in mind, the EBSI (European BlockchainServices Infrastructure) has been developed.

    Our vision is to accelerate the creation of cross-border services and put blockchainat the service of public administrations for the purpose of verifying information, making the services trustworthy.

    EBSI is the first EU-wide blockchaininfrastructure, driven by the public sector, in full respect of European values and regulations. EBSI is supported by 29 countries (All EU Member States, Norway and Lichtenstein) and the EC forming the European BlockchainPartnership (EBP).

  • TechCrunch Europe wants to go its own way on digital identity 2021-06-03

    Alongside today’s regulatory proposal they’ve put out a recommendation, inviting member states to “establish a common toolbox by September 2022 and to start the necessary preparatory work immediately” — with a goal of publishing the agreed toolbox in October 2022 and starting pilot projects (based on the agreed technical framework) sometime thereafter.

    “This toolbox should include the technical architecture, standards and guidelines for best practices,” the commission adds, eliding the large cans of worms being firmly cracked open.

  • Digital Identity for all Europeans 2021-06

The European Digital Identity will be available to EU citizens, residents, and businesses who want to identify themselves or provide confirmation of certain personal information. It can be used for both online and offline public and private services across the EU.

Every EU citizen and resident in the Union will be able to use a personal digital wallet.

  • A trusted and secure European e-ID - Regulation 2021-05-28

    By offering a European Digital Identity framework based on the revision of the current one, at least 80% of citizens should be able to use a digital ID solution to access key public services by 2030. [...] The legal instrument aims to provide, for cross-border use: – access to highly secure and trustworthy electronic identity solutions, – that public and private services can rely on trusted and secure digital identity solutions, – that natural and legal persons are empowered to use digital identity solutions, – that these solutions are linked to a variety of attributes and allow for the targeted sharing of identity data limited to the needs of the specific service requested, – acceptance of qualified trust services in the EU and equal conditions for their provision.

  • Overview of Member States' eID strategies 2021-04-07

    With this in mind, the following report provides an overview of the national approaches to electronic identification, describing how the 27 Member States are rolling out eID solutions to ensure that digital services can be securely accessed both at national and at European level. The report focusses on the approaches towards eID outlined in national strategy documents, together with other supporting documentation and web resources, with the aim of offering a thorough understanding of the eID state of play across Europe. This understanding of national strategies can feed into discussions on future EU-level action on eID.

  • The growth factors of self-sovereign identity solutions in Europe 2020-10 Adrian Doerk

    This thesis introduces the concept of self-sovereign identity and analysis the factors required to achieve adoption of the concept. It describes the basic components of a self-sovereign identity system and provides the reader with an overview of important conceptual theories to understand the differences to traditional identity systems and the unique approach taken instead. It then dives into the status quo of the discussions around business, technology, legal and governance aspects. It further examines the central factors for the user and describes a know your costumer use-case as well as the current efforts and challenges for higher education certificates for learners. Furthermore, it depicts the diffusion factors of the innovation. While the legal aspects are mainly concerned with regulations from the European Union, the findings in this thesis can be applied globally.

  • Deployment of a Blockchain-Based Self-Sovereign Identity - Delft 2019-06-07

    This solution for making identities Self-Sovereign, builds on a generic provable claim model for which attestations of truth from third parties need to be collected. The claim model is then shown to be both blockchain structure and proof method agnostic. Four different implementations in support of these two claim model properties are shown to offer sub-second performance for claim creation and claim verification. Through the properties of Self-Sovereign Identity, legally valid status and acceptable performance, our solution is considered to be fit for adoption by the general public
