Procivis explains EAA, QEAA and PuB-EAA issuance on Procivis One

Electronic attestations of attributes in eIDAS 2.0 ↗

What happened

Why it matters to Signicat

• Procivis positions a single issuer stack across EAA, QEAA and PuB-EAA, a direct overlap with Signicat's Wallet Hub and trust orchestration offering.
• Self-reported ETSI Plugtests participation is a credible interoperability signal but the 869 verification count is vendor-reported and uncorroborated.

• The sandbox supports projects within the LSP Aptitude consortium, one of the EU's Large-Scale Pilots.

Why it matters to Signicat

• Government EUDI sandbox award to a direct wallet competitor in a Nordic-adjacent-to-Baltic market; overlaps Signicat's Wallet Hub and EUDI positioning. Lithuania is outside Signicat's listed core markets.

Procivis reports that Procivis One Core issued 20 credentials per second using 287MB of RAM and 0.61 of a virtual CPU on a small standard Azure instance.

Procivis One: High-Performance Digital ID Core, 10× Faster Than Others ↗

What happened

• Procivis states that the performance test ran issuer and holder components on the same core instance, a non-standard deployment configuration.
• Procivis states that the next best tested frameworks showed credential issuance response times 10 times slower under the same setup and load.

Why it matters to Signicat

• The benchmark is vendor-run and the competitor comparison names no framework, so it is not verifiable against Signicat's stack.
• Procivis is positioning Rust-based issuer/holder performance as a differentiator in EUDI-style credential issuance, which overlaps Signicat's Wallet Hub scope.

Why it matters to Signicat

• Open-source Procivis One lowers entry cost for government and developer wallet and issuance builds, a direct alternative to licensed wallet platforms.
• Procivis positions the release against vendor lock-in and hidden costs of open-source-first models, a framing that targets commercial vendors' pricing.

Procivis states it implemented the Linked Validity Verifiable Credential (LVVC) revocation method in its Procivis One solution.

Privacy-Preserving and Scalable Revocation for Decentralized Identities | Procivis ↗

What happened

• Under the LVVC design, an LVVC is issued alongside each Verifiable Credential and contains a cryptographic link to the credential, the issuance date and the status.
• Procivis states its wallet requests LVVC updates in the background on a regular basis.

Why it matters to Signicat

• Procivis is a direct competitor in decentralized credential infrastructure; LVVC is a revocation approach for Verifiable Credentials relevant to Signicat's reusable identity and wallet work.
• The article is vendor-authored and makes unverified claims of scalability and privacy ('millions of updates are no problem'); no independent benchmark is cited.

Why it matters to Signicat

• Procivis positions post-quantum signing of verifiable credentials as a current product capability, a claim Signicat's trust and signing lines do not currently match in this source.
• The article is a vendor thought-leadership piece with no customer names, deployment details, or independent validation; the NIST claim is unverified here.
