Recently, the European Commission under the eIDAS revision has considered as one possible policy option the creation of an EU digital ID scheme (EUid) for EU countries’ nationals, with the objective of providing all Europeans with widely usable and universally accepted trusted digital identities.
Digital identity management systems based on distributed ledger technologies (DLT) may play an important role in the implementation of a personal right to identity, with a strong view of self-determination and personal autonomy. These DLTs, and in particular blockchain, normally based on public-key cryptography, allow the creation of a registry managed in an absolutely decentralised way.
The EU Agency for cybersecurity (ENISA), helped by Delft Blockchain Lab, organises a workshop delving into the basic concepts, providing an overview of advantages and disadvantages of blockchain solutions, complemented by the current initiatives in the areas and some practical examples from real-life.
