IDAS 2.0 & the EU Digital Identity Wallet: Europe’s New Trust Layer for the Digital World

Digital identity is becoming a strategic cornerstone for secure online interactions across Europe. With eIDAS 2.0 (Electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services), the European Union is establishing a binding legal framework for secure, interoperable and EU-wide digital identities.

At the heart of this framework lies the EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet) – a mobile application that allows individuals and organisations to store, manage and selectively share official credentials such as ID cards, diplomas or age verifications.

Why eIDAS 2.0?

The rapid rise of digital fraud, from deepfakes to AI-generated KYC documents, is pushing traditional identity verification methods to their limits. Manual checks, browser-based uploads, and purely visual inspections are increasingly vulnerable and difficult to scale.

The EUDI Wallet addresses these challenges by offering:

• Highest security standards (e.g., qualified electronic signatures)
• Full user control over personal data
• Cross-border functionality throughout the EU
• Standardized interfaces for public and private service providers

Open Ecosystem for Businesses

Under eIDAS 2.0, public authorities and key industries (e.g. finance, telecommunications) will be required to accept the EUDI Wallet. At the same time, the EU promotes an open and interoperable infrastructure. Multiple certified middleware providers will facilitate secure access to wallet data – only with user consent. This means that you don’t need your own wallet – just a secure connection to the European identity ecosystem. MGT brings you into the EUDI ecosystem
