EUDI
The European Digital Identity (EUDI) framework lets people across the EU hold and present official credentials from a wallet on their own device, using open standards that any issuer or verifier can implement.
The shape of it
Every member state must offer its citizens a wallet, and both public bodies and large private services must accept it. What the wallet holds is credentials: signed statements issued by whoever is authoritative for them.
| The holder decides | What is disclosed, to whom, each time |
| The verifier checks a signature | Not a database, and not the issuer |
| The issuer is not told | Where or when the credential is used |
That last property is the point of the design. A verifier confirms a claim without the issuer learning anything about the transaction.
Where to go next
Roles for who does what, Digital credentials for what is actually exchanged, and Protocols for how.
