Abstract

The transition from traditional identities to digital ones and the adoption of a regulation to better manage their operation is an important step towards the digital age. Originally, IDs were physical documents used to verify a person's identity. With the progress of technology and the need for secure electronic transactions, the European Union introduced in 2014 the eIDAS Regulation. eIDAS (Electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services) established a single legal framework for electronic identification and trust services. In 2024, eIDAS 2.0 entered into force, aiming to address the gaps of its previous version, new market needs and further improve the security and experience of citizens and businesses. The new regulation also introduced the concept of the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet), which allows the storage and management of credentials and attributes along with other features such as the use of digital signatures, while providing security, privacy and interoperability. The subject of this diploma thesis is the eIDAS Regulation, and particularly the European Digital Identity Wallet. The purpose of this thesis is twofold. Readers are provided with a comprehensive and detailed presentation of key elements of the two versions of the regulation on electronic identities and trust services. Additionally, the digital wallet is presented in depth, emphasizing on its architecture, functionalities as well as the open issues examined regarding the practical implementation of this ecosystem. In Chapter 1 the eIDAS regulation (910/2014) is analyzed, as well as the network for electronic identification. Also, the statistics from the adoption of the regulation and its evaluation are presented. Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive description of the revised eIDAS 2.0 Regulation (2024/1183) with emphasis on the changes and the expected benefits, while Chapter 3 explains in detail the concept of the digital wallet. The elements of the ecosystem’s architecture as well as the various interactions between entities are presented. Finally, in Chapter 4, the main concerns and open issues regarding the digital wallet that have been identified so far are described, as well as the conclusions of this thesis.
