eIDAS 2 / EU Digital Identity Wallet

Regulation European Union · 2024

eIDAS 2 amends the original eIDAS Regulation to create the European Digital Identity Wallet — a member-state-issued wallet every EU citizen and resident must be offered, and which large online platforms and regulated sectors must accept for authentication. Unlike most of this catalog it does not restrict an interface or merely require one: it specifies a protocol stack, which makes it the most concretely machine-readable obligation in EU law.

Each links to that industry as a scored cohort — so the question "how ready is this sector for the regime that governs it?" becomes one you can actually look at.
