Digital identification is the focus of two reports by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity: an analysis of self-sovereign identity and a study of major face presentation attacks.

The technologies falling under the name of self-sovereign identity consist in giving identity holders greater control over their identity.

The main advantage of the SSI technology is that it gives the user greater control over how its identity is represented to third parties relying on the identity information.

The European Digital Identity is intended to be available to all EU citizens, residents and businesses in order to identify themselves or provide confirmation of personal information.

Citizens will be able to prove their identity and share electronic documents from their European Digital Identity wallets with the click of an icon on their phone.

The new European Digital Identity Wallets will allow all Europeans to access online services without having to resort to private identification methods or share unnecessary personal data.
