ETSI / CEN Workshop on EU Digital Identity Framework Standards

A revision to regulation 910/2014 on electronic identities, authentication and signatures (eIDAS) is expected to be published in the Official Journal of the European Union in spring 2024. This revision establishes an ambitious European Digital Identity Framework with digital identity wallets and a number of new trust services. This will bring about a major transformation of security of the European digital infrastructure facilitating cross border transactions, supporting seamless access to financial, governmental and commercial services across Europe with a high level of accountability.

ETSI and CEN are working together to develop a number of standards to support this new regulatory framework building on the latest globally recognised standards for website authentication, open identities and mobile based wallets. The workshop will present the latest status of these standards and is aimed to include demonstrations from large scale pilots applying the EU Digital Identity Wallet.

The Workshop is conducted by ETSI ESI Technical Committee and CEN/TC 224.

 Who should join?

The workshop will be of direct interest to all those concerned with ensuring a secure digital infrastructure across Europe including regulators, providers of mobile identity solutions, manufacturers of secure elements / smart devices, trust service providers, application and secure solution providers.

Why attending?

The standards CEN and ETSI underpinning this new European Digital Identity Framework will have a major impact on the European market which solution providers need to be aware of to keep up with changing environment. Also, the workshop, and the following open consultation on draft standards, provides the opportunity to influence the direction taken in CEN and ETSI standards supporting the European Digital Identity Framework.
