The EU Commission adopted rules for the core functionalities and certification of the European Digital Identity (eID) Wallets under the European Digital Identity Framework. Four implementing regulations set out uniform standards, specifications, and procedures for the technical functionalities of the wallets, such as data formats required for the cross-border use of digital documents and measures to ensure the reliability and security of the wallets.
European Digital Identity Wallets will offer private users and businesses a universal, trustworthy and secure way to identify themselves when accessing public and private services across borders.
