Implementing Acts
The The EUDI implementing acts provide the necessary technical specifications and standards intended to make the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI) a secure, interoperable, and, user-friendly tool. The establishment of the EUDIW implementing acts aims to ensure consistent, high-level security across all Member States, allowing citizens and businesses to easily and securely authenticate, sign documents, and share digital credentials across borders.
...
- Standardized Interoperability: They define common, technical standards (e.g., for wallets, trust services, and qualified electronic signatures/seals), enabling seamless cross-border use of the EUDI wallet across the EU.
- Enhanced Security and Privacy: Implementing acts define security requirements, including high-level certification, ensuring the EUDIWs are robust against threats, supports privacy-preserving functionalities (i. e. selective disclosure), and protects personal data.
- Uniform Implementation of the EUDIW and the EUDIW trust environment: They prevent fragmentation by setting uniform, binding rules for Member States on how to implement, certify, and operate the wallets and trust services.
- Simplified User Experience: By standardizing, the implementing acts aim to facilitate the creation of user-friendly interfaces for citizens to manage their identity and data. Users will be enabled to store, share, and sign documents (QES) directly from their EUDIWs. The EUDIWs will support selective disclosure (data minimization) as well.
- Support for Specific Sectors: The acts and related Large-Scale Pilots facilitate the development of use cases in education and research sectors among others.
