1. The Core – You-controlled data This is the data you receive into your wallet - making the MyData make-it-happen mission real: official credentials (ID, diploma, driver’s licence, tax number, company roles, etc.), verifiable credentials from other issuers you decide to trust (skills, power of attorneys, e-receipts, IBAN-credentials etc..) cred...

I asked Gemini: The consensus among experts suggests that while the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI) is built on the principles and core technologies of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), its structured and regulated framework is likely to make it more user-friendly and lead to greater adoption than a "pure" SSI implementation. Here

It means that there will not be a critical mass of credentials available for wallets. This means that wallets will seldom be used and the attention both by organisations and citizens will move elsewhere.

When we roll-out e-banking starting in 1982 at Union Bank of Finland I used to underline that innovation progresses when the next customer takes it in use – on the way to a critical mass of users.

Often - but not in all cases - starting with an identification credential. 🔹 Identification Identification is the act of proving who you or your company/employer are — typically at a specific point in time. It’s tran

It does not have to be an uphill struggle There’s a lot of scepticism around the claim that data flows – between organisation and citizen wallets – will make life and business dramatically easier.

It is now obvious that there is a need to advance much faster – and soon go deeper - than was previously thought in the EU Trust Infrastructure rollout.

It will soon be widely understood that it is a human right to get all the verifiable data you need in life and business events to your identity building wallet. Take for example the life event looking for the next job. There is a wide range of credentials you may need – issued by education providing organisations, qualifications of all sorts, incre...

Very good work by https://www.linkedin.com/company/go-eidas-ev/posts/?feedView=all. Emphasis mine and my comments at +++.Go-EIDAS invites you to expand further. “Within the recent launch of the Competitiveness Compass for the EU the European Commission announced its plan to augment the existing legislation around digital identity and t...

My points in Open Wallet Foundation work: 1. The mission is to get verifiable data to business and life events from all needed public and private sources without need for technical integrations and contracts between the parties. 2. For that we need interoperable general-purpose wallets/agents. OWF SIG task to map interoperability. 3....
