Despite the rivalry between big tech wallets and the EU’s offering, Samsung is a big provider complying with the German government’s EU wallet pilot scheme.

With published reports on the digital ID wallet, Giorgia Paola Dragoni provided the esteemed academic perspective on how the public and private market players across continents are aligning and converging their credentials. 

In this interview, we cover the eIDAS regulation and 130 observatory research projects demonstrating public and private interest to achieve this alignment. 

Watch in full our riveting dialogue on the global scope of projects for digital wallets, from eIDAS pushing for development of the public sector, to the private sector developing its own solutions and looking for a “point of meeting”.

Giorgia Paola Dragoni says the big challenge for the public sector with far more investment in citizens’ interests is to adopt an effective business model that will incentivise big tech/private companies to get them to “invest in digital ID solutions”. 

 

What did we ask Giorgia?

 

  • What strategies are big tech companies adopting in the market of certified digital identities. What are some notable examples of partnerships with institutional bodies to integrate ID documents into wallets? 
  • Have businesses integrated their services into the wallet to meet the vision for a multi-purpose solution? 
  • Are wallet providers, issuers and verifiers aligned now and will they be when the actual wallets are built? 
  • What are some challenges of public-private collaboration for the wallet?
