ETSI/CEN workshop on EU Digital Framework centring on the EU Identity Wallet

Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 amending Regulation (EU) 910/2014 on electronic identities, authentication and signatures (eIDAS 2) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union this spring 2024. This amendment established an ambitious European Digital Identity Framework including EU Digital Identity Wallets (EUDIW) which provides a means of identification across Europe. This will bring about a major transformation of security of the European digital infrastructure facilitating cross border transactions and supporting seamless access to financial, governmental and commercial services across Europe with a high level of accountability.

The EUDIW now are now being implemented and tested by EU nations ready to go live by end of 2026. Also, use of the EUDIW is already being trialled for a range of large-scale pilot applications for governmental services businesses, banking, vehicle registration and travel.

CEN and ETSI have been working together with the EC in 2025 to provide an initial set of standards and specifications for implementations of the EUDIW. These standards are now being refined and extended to ensure a high level of security, with interoperability between all national EUDIW implementations and their usage by the EU digital infrastructure. The workshop will present the set of existing standards for the EUDIW and ongoing work in refining and extending these standards.

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 CEN and ETSI standards underpinning the EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDIW) will have a major impact on the European market which solution providers need to be aware of to keep up with changing environment. The workshop will provide the opportunity understand the standardisation being applied to the EUDIW and interact with the leading experts working on this standardisation.
