Bo Harald Chairman/Founding member, board member at Trust Infra for Real Time Economy Prgrm & MyData,
Our task - especially in banking - is now to take the ready parts of EU legislation and wallets into use – make the Trust Infrastructure real. WHY? Because we need to make life easier – cut the rising stress levels - for citizens at work and at home, make enterprises more successful, make EU more secure and transparent and cut CO-emissions in a...

It is well known that consumption of energy is growing too fast with today’s digital trends. The growth took off already with music, pictures, PDFs and videos. Then we got the YouTube video production explosion, Bitcoins and AI. An interesting Economist article notes that Americans now spend more time on watching YouTube than any other source of c...

Some of my readers have probably wondered how this Harald always manages to go on and on about various digital services. The main reason is that my mission starting in the mid70s at Union Bank of Finland (now Nordea Bank) has been to participate in building digital infrastructures that benefit society-at-large and to promote the actual taking-into-...

I have a long experience of driving (some say nagging about...) implementing digital standards based competition driving infrastructures. It started in the early 80s with payments in e-banking, followed by all other traditional banking services, then in the 90s with interconnecting customers with e-id- e-signing, e-invoicing and e-salary services....

The Trust Infrastructure's Identity wallets (many already EUDI-interoperable) are the only practicable, secure and economical way to bring the sets of verified data (credentials) needed for servicing life events - but also to build the digital twins of organisations, people (with their 100% control), things (product passports important credentials...

Home- and SME-business e-banking was introduced in Finland in the early 80s. It became a success first because of bill payments and as employees were allowed to use workplace computers for personal banking (modems for home PCs were not that common first). Share trading and other bank services were added soon after. Interconnecting customers with e...

The European Union has now almost completed a massive legislation effort to promote the data driven economy. There should be no doubt that this common Trust Infrastructure is much needed in all countries and a new opportunity to take a decisive step towards a much more on a daily level concrete Single Market. It is no secret that Europe needs t...

The European Union has - as most of us know - made a massiv effort for the Trust infrastructure needed for the data driven economy. Small wonder when it has been understood how enormous the benefits will be for productivity, security, services to citizens and enterprises, privacy, ethical AI and the Single Market. But - now as we should realise ...

Trust over IP started off to put users in charge of their data but much also because it was estimated that cyber crime annual damages was exceeding 6 trillion USD. With SSI and wallets for all verified data for all parties the risks and damages can be minimized. Much work is going on also in EU to improve cyber security - now especially in the fac...

Data - and lately especially verified data - has for many years been a top priority in national and EU priorities. What the EU Trust Infrastructure's already de-facto EUDI-interoperable wallets mean in terms of benefits for all parties (with small investments) should be properly evaluated in all member state digital strategies - and then lead to c...
