5. Current eID status in Europe
Digital Single Market : eGovernment, Electronic Identification and Trusted Services.
European Commission has regulated electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions (eIDAS, EC/910/2014) and Privacy (GDPR).
Beginning of 2017: in Europe 31 States were issuing eID-Cards. This is the highest number in one continent. More than 200 Million eIDs are in the field.
Europe has more than 19 years knowledge on eID in the public sector, with Finland starting CY1999.
Year 2020: More than 250 million eID-cards will be held by citizens and around 30 million e-Residence Permits by 3rd country nationals and EU citizens.
European Commission and Member States spent more than €100 Million for technical interoperability along eID, eHealth, eSignature and eServices.

10. Other initiatives beyond eIDAS
Industry driven:
Smart Phones w/ NFC, BLE, PKI-SIM, iSIM, eSIM etc.
GSMA Mobile Connect.
(Secure) QR Code.
FIDO-token.
Government driven:
e.g. France Connect.
Bank driven:
e.g. Bank-ID.
What will be the future evolution of electronic identification, authentication and signatures? What will be the driving force or forces for Digital Identity?

11. Eurosmart thinking
Trusted Digital Identity and Privacy are Fundamental Rights for all European Citizens and Service Providers.
The future will create several Digital Identity companion concepts with different form factors and device supports, but the “Root of the Digital Identity” will remain the official electronic document issued by European Member States, as it is today with the Know Your Customer (KYC) regulation.

12. Future requirements of Digital Identity
Freedom to travel physically and in web and cloud.
Voluntary access and possibility to access to means providing security and warranties to the individuals acting as citizens, users, consumers and to service providers.
Personal Data and Privacy protection by default.
ICAO-standard moves more and more into ID1-Cards.
EC fosters electronic Residence Permits for EU citizens.
Pseudonymous authentication and signature shall be an option open to all.

13. Conclusion
The “Root of Digital Identity” is and will be provided by Member States and the eIDAS, and “Know Your Customer” Regulations are confirming this strategic aspect.
The Root of Digital Identity may be coming from various eID documents: National eID, eDriving License or ePassport, depending on the Member States’ business processes.
Europe has a strong Digital Identity strategy as per the Digital Single Market Strategy, and has to promote European values for the wealth of European citizens, Member States and the economy.
The smart security industry is supporting this strategy by promoting the European Values in more than 130 countries.
