Making digital identification fully automatic and EUDI-ready

The EUDI wallet was developed to meet high standards of security, data protection and trustworthiness. The technical specifications follow the principles of “security by design” and “privacy by design”, so that security and data protection aspects are already taken into account during development. The EUDI wallet uses certified security mechanisms and protected areas of modern smartphones to protect sensitive data and cryptographic keys. Users retain control over their identity data and decide for themselves what information is shared with authorities, companies or other organizations. In addition, the EUDI wallet supports data-saving procedures in which only the information that is actually required is disclosed. The aim is to make digital identities safe to use while protecting the privacy of users in the best possible way.

No. The use of the EUDI wallet is voluntary for citizens. No one will be obliged to use an EUDI wallet or to provide digital evidence exclusively via the wallet.

The situation is different for certain companies and service providers. As part of eIDAS 2.0, selected regulated services will be obliged to accept the EUDI wallet as a means of identification and verification in future. This applies in particular to use cases with high identity, authentication or trust requirements. For users, this means that the use of the EUDI Wallet will remain voluntary, while the number of services for which the EUDI Wallet can be used as a recognized and Europe-wide interoperable solution will increase.

With sproof Ident, a white label solution for digital identification and trust processes is already available today. We would be happy to support your organization in analyzing existing processes, evaluating EUDI wallet potential and developing a future-proof EUDI strategy.

No. The EUDI Wallet will not replace existing national eID systems such as the ID Austria or the online ID function of the German ID card. Instead, it builds on these trusted identity solutions and adds new functions to them. The EUDI Wallet serves as a standardized interface for the use of digital identities and proofs of identity within the European Union. This means that national eIDs can be used more easily and across borders in future. For users, this means that existing digital identities remain relevant, while the EUDI Wallet enables access to additional proofs of identity, digital documents and pan-European use cases. It therefore expands the possibilities of existing eID systems instead of replacing them.

The EUDI wallet is being introduced gradually in the member states of the European Union. The legal basis was created with eIDAS 2.0, while the technical specifications and national implementations are currently being further developed.

It is currently expected that the first EUDI wallet solutions will be available from the end of 2026. However, the widespread introduction and use in all EU member states will take place gradually and will depend on the respective national implementation plans.

Companies and public authorities should already be looking at the requirements and use cases of the EUDI wallet today in order to prepare for the upcoming changes in the area of digital identities at an early stage.

With sproof Ident, a white label solution for digital identification and trust processes is already available today. We are happy to support companies in analyzing existing processes, evaluating EUDI wallet potential and developing a future-proof EUDI strategy.

The EUDI Wallet offers users in Germany a secure way to manage digital identity data and proofs of identity on their smartphone and to pass them on as required. It is designed to simplify the handling of digital identities and at the same time strengthen control over personal data. One of the advantages of the EUDI Wallet is the ability to use digital proofs of identity in a data-saving manner. In future, for example, certain information – such as age or authorization – can be verified without disclosing further personal data. Another advantage of the EUDI wallet is its Europe-wide orientation. Digital identities and proof of identity should not only be able to be used in Germany, but also across borders within the European Union. In this way, the EUDI wallet supports an interoperable digital identity for citizens, companies and public institutions in Europe. In addition, the EUDI Wallet is intended to bundle various digital proofs of identity in a single application and enable the secure, user-friendly use of digital services.

The EUDI Wallet offers Austrian users a secure and user-friendly way to manage digital identity data and proof of identity on their smartphone. It makes it possible to share information with authorities, companies or other organizations in a targeted and data-saving manner. The advantages of the EUDI Wallet include the digital use of ID cards and proofs, greater control over personal data and the ability to prove certain attributes – such as age – without disclosing any other personal information. A particular advantage of the EUDI Wallet is its Europe-wide orientation. In future, it should be possible to use digital evidence not only in Austria, but also across borders in other EU member states. In this way, the EUDI Wallet supports a uniform digital identity within Europe.

Yes. sproof Ident is already prepared for the integration of the upcoming EUDI wallet and supports companies in making existing identification processes future-proof. The platform combines current identification processes with the requirements of the European EUDI ecosystem. This means that companies can already use national eID solutions such as the ID Austria or the online ID function of the German ID card and at the same time prepare for the introduction of the EUDI wallet.

A key advantage of sproof Ident is that different identity sources and identification procedures can be integrated via a central platform. This facilitates the gradual transition to the EUDI wallet without having to rebuild existing processes.

Yes, the EUDI Wallet is designed to provide users with a transparent overview of their authorizations and data sharing. The aim is to ensure that control over their own identity data is traceable and simple at all times. To this end, every EUDI wallet must provide functions with which active connections to authorities, companies or other services can be viewed. Users can track which organizations have been granted access to which data and for what purpose it has been released. It should also be possible to manage authorizations and connections directly in the EUDI wallet. If data sharing is no longer desired, access can be revoked or existing connections can be terminated. In this way, the EUDI wallet supports a central principle of digital identity: users retain control over their data and decide for themselves when and with whom information is shared.

The EUDI wallet is designed in such a way that data protection is not based on trust alone, but is secured by technical mechanisms. The aim is to ensure that users only share the information that is actually required for a specific use case.

Modern cryptographic methods such as zero-knowledge proofs are used for this purpose. For example, it is possible to prove that a person is over the age of 18 without disclosing their actual date of birth. The service only receives the required proof, but not the underlying personal data.

In many use cases, the original data remains in the EUDI wallet on the user’s device. The requesting platform only has technical access to the information that has been expressly released.

As a result, the EUDI wallet not only offers organizational data protection measures, but also technical guarantees that make excessive data collection and profiling more difficult.
