Description of Activities
This standardisation project will boost the creation of a certification system for biometric solutions to be used in different scenarios. One of the first scenarios to be addressed is the remote identification of citizens using videoconference tools, i.e., using facial recognition with the users’ own personal devices (either computers or mobile devices).
Impact on SMEs (2nd Open Call)
When the European Identity Wallet will be defined, all service providers will have to adapt their services to use that wallet. Most service providers are either SMEs or use solutions developed by SMEs, so the definition of that identity wallet will have a major impact on the activities of those SMEs, increasing their workload, and therefore, their benefits.
Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
When the European Identity Wallet will be defined, all service providers will have to adapt their services to use that wallet. Most of services providers are either SMEs or use solutions developed by SMEs, so the definition of that identity wallet will have a major impact on the activities of those SMEs, increasing their workload, and therefore, their benefits.
Impact on SMEs (5th Open Call)
Many final solution integrators are SMEs, and they are the ones having to convince the final customer with the benefits of using their products. This is typically a challenge of these SMEs, compared to multinational enterprises. This certification scheme will allow SMEs to provide convincing certification, to all different customers, through a single evaluation, closing the gap with big enterprises, and improving their market ratio.
Impact on SMEs (8th Open Call)
When the European Identity Wallet will be defined, all service providers will have to adapt their services to use that wallet. Most of services providers are either SMEs or use solutions developed by SMEs, so the definition of that identity wallet will have a major impact on the activities of those SMEs, increasing their workload, and therefore, their benefits.
Impact on society (2nd Open Call)
European citizens need an interoperable secure means to authenticate themselves all over Europe, when carrying out electronic transactions.
Impact on society (5th Open Call)
This standard boosts the creation of a certification system for biometric solutions to be used in different scenarios. One of the first scenarios to be addressed is the remote identification of citizens using videoconference tools, i.e., using facial recognition with the users’ digital devices. But other scenarios will be added during this proposal, such as the use of face recognition in the future EUDI Wallet.
Impact on society (8th Open Call)
This activity paves the path to the technical definition and implementation of the EUDIW and the services related. It is important to note that by reaching interoperable EUDIWs, the following sectors will benefit:
Service providers and Administrations will find their work easier in identifying the citizen using the service, without acquiring more information that the one really needed. Therefore, the accomplishment of GDPR policies will be easier.
Manufacturers and integrators will have to go only through one set of specifications, not creating products that may not be accepted by the context of eIDAS2.
Citizens will see their identity secured, and privacy enhanced by only disclosing the relevant information to the services being used.
