Section 19: Decentralised identity and the European regulatory landscape
- IDENTITY AND THE GDPR
An identity framework will need to work within such GDPR principles as data minimisation, purpose limitation and storage limitation. It will also have to deal with many of the rights that data subjects have under the GDPR, among them the well-known right to erasure (right to be forgotten), right of access and rights related to the automated processing of data. The GDPR also lays down clear responsibilities for data controllers and processors that will certainly need to be taken into account as well.
- EIDAS: A PAN-EUROPEAN NATIONAL IDENTITY STANDARD
Perhaps the most important regulation dealing with identity in the EU is eIDAS, an EU regulation and a set of standards for electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the European Single Market. This regulation will have a deep impact on the decentralised identity framework, above all as it pertains to government-issued/recognised identity credentials, and so is worth a closer look.

Privacy by Design
Privacy by Design means that privacy should be considered from the very beginning, when designing a product. Article 25 of the GDPR requires “data protection by design; data controllers must put technical and organisational measures such as pseudonymisation in place — to minimise personal data processing.”

Article 35 describes “a process which assists organizations in identifying and minimizing the privacy risks of new projects or policies” called a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA),

- Open Source PIA Software - cnil.fr
The PIA software aims to help data controllers build and demonstrate compliance to the GDPR. The tools is available in French and in English. It facilitates carrying out a data protection impact assessment, which will become mandatory for some processing operations as of 25 May 2018. This tool also intends to ease the use of the PIA guides published by the CNIL.

This template, published by the U.K. Information Commissioner's Office, offers an example recording the process and outcomes of a DPIA. It is meant as a complement to the ICO's DPIA guidance and the Criteria for an acceptable DPIA set out in European guidelines on DPIAs.
