The author reports attending GDC in Geneva, the ENISA Trust Services and eID Forum with CA-Day in Tallinn, and the ETSI-CEN workshop on EUDI Wallet standards.
Expert takes: Reflections from Europe’s leading identity conferences ↗
What happened
- The author states there will be no certified EUDI Wallet until well into 2027, at the earliest.
- The author states that many Member States will launch EUDI Wallets later than the deadline.
- The author states that mandatory relying party registration is not defined for most Member States.
Why it matters to Signicat
- The article's single-intermediary argument (one API masking Wallet differences) aligns with Signicat's Wallet Hub and eID brokering positioning, but the article does not name Signicat.
- The article's notes on tightened QTSP and IPSP requirements and external lab testing bottlenecks bear on Signicat's QTSP status and document verification work.
