European Council. December 6, 2022
The Council adopted its common position (‘general approach’) on the proposed legislation regarding the framework for a European digital identity (eID). The revised regulation aims to ensure universal access for people and businesses to secure and trustworthy electronic identification and authentication by means of a personal digital wallet on a mobile phone.
The proposed new framework amends the 2014 regulation on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market (eIDAS regulation), which laid the foundations for safely accessing public services and carrying out transactions online and across borders in the EU.

One-quarter of the global populace is going to be spending at least an hour a day in the metaverse by 2026, according to tech consulting firm Gartner, for shopping, gaming, education and more. But at some point, people are going to have to demonstrate that it’s really them behind the avatar.

A 14-min read with an overview of the digital identity landscape by Andrew Singer of Cointelegraph.

A crowd of major corporations doing business in the United States is encouraging state governments to enact six policies considered by industry insiders vital to establishing a national secure digital ID regime.
The Better Identity Coalition, 27 companies based in the U.S. – among them AT&T, Equifax, Yubico and Mastercard – and elsewhere — Onfido and Idemia – either want to stop worrying about ID fraud or want to profit from preventing it.
This is the coalition’s second ambitious outing. In 2018, the year it formed, the group issued a related blueprint for the federal government, where progress has been negligible. There is hope that more can be accomplished working with state legislatures.
