Description of Activities

The standards I am dealing with are the W3C Verifiable Credential Data Model (VCDM) 2.0 in conjunction with the W3C Verifiable Credential Data Integrity 1.0 specification for securing VCs. The contribution of this project will be a specification for a new W3C VC Data Integrity suite, i.e. a mechanism for securing Verifiable Credentials (VCs).

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)

There will also be various opportunities for SMEs to participate in a European digital identity ecosystem, for example by providing software and consulting services.

Impact on society (4th Open Call)

In the coming years, the eIDAS 2.0 regulation and associated EU Digital Identity Wallet will become available to all EU citizens and are expected to have a major impact on various parts of our (digital) societies.

Description of Activities

In the framework of this fellowship, I contribute to several different standardisation activities, including: addressing minor edits to IEEE 2089.1 and developing a Certification Scheme with IEEE, applying to IEEE CTSoc/ETSC to form a study group to develop a PAR on Parental Consent, participation in BSI IST/33/5 and ISO/IEC JTC1 SC27 WG5 re ISO 27566 Parts 1, 2 and 3, ETSI STF 681 Age Verification Expert Member.

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)

There is an urgent need which standards can be addressed in Europe. The ISO is working in parallel on 27566, to which I also contribute, but that is still at the working draft stage and is only a framework, not a best practice guide. Standards for AV and parental consent are also needed in North America, India, Australia. Indonesia, Oman and Canada, amongst others, due to new legislation.

Impact on society (4th Open Call)

Europe is legislating at pace to create legal demands for online age assurance (verification and estimation) but standards are falling behind. There is an urgent need which standards can be addressed in Europe.

Impact on SMEs (2nd Open Call)

Standards for Biometric System-on-Card (BSoC) and On-Card Comparison (OCC) solutions ensure compatibility with deployed interoperable biometric systems, enabling straightforward maintenance and upgrades, while avoiding vendor lock-in and proprietary limitations.

Impact on SMEs (5th Open Call)

Currently, global biometric authentication systems are widely deployed for diverse public and commercial services authorisation. Common form factor smart cards, incorporating biometric capture and comparison within the card, offer a secure, sterile, and user-friendly experience for cardholders. Standards for Biometric System-on-Card (BSoC) and On-Card Comparison (OCC) solutions ensure compatibility with deployed interoperable biometric systems, enabling straightforward maintenance and upgrades, while avoiding vendor lock-in and proprietary limitations.

Impact on society (2nd Open Call)

Smart cards enabled with biometric card holder verification capabilities on a card via either On-Card Comparison (OCC) or full Biometric System-on-Card (BSoC) technology each offer enhanced security, privacy, inclusivity, and public health benefits while reducing fraud and identity theft.

Impact on society (5th Open Call)

Multi-application smart cards are already widely deployed and used nowadays in eGovernment, ePayment, eHealth and other domains. Addition of biometric authentication enhances reliability (more secure than PIN), safety and convenience (hygienic, no need to touch PINpads or terminals sensor in case of BSoC especially while pandemic), reference card holder data security (no vulnerable and GDPR sensitive central database for biometrics is needed, card holder data cannot be read out from stolen / lost smart cards) and availability (users with no education in poor countries to obtain subsidy).

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 (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 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.

Description of Activities

The targeted ICT standards development activity aims to address the dynamic changes in the European Union's financial services landscape, driven by the Payment Services Directive (PSD3), Payment Services Regulation (PSR), and financial data access (FIDA). The objective is to adapt and enhance existing standards to align with the regulatory updates introduced by PSD3, PSR, and FIDA.

Impact on society (5th Open Call)

By stating that the priority is electronic identification and trust services, this work directly impacts both electronic identification and trust services. Specifically, the ETSI Standard 119 462 (Wallet Interfaces) influences identification and trust services in the following ways:
it establishes a standardised mechanism for identification from the wallet to trust service providers, it creates a standardised mechanism for trust service providers to issue attributes that are used for identification, it sets up a mechanism for collaboration with trust service providers in the process of creating electronic signatures.

Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)

My work has a direct impact on European SMEs and society. By contributing to standards like ISO/IEC 27560 and the EUDI Wallet Access Control in CEN TC224/WG20, I help create practical, privacy-focused frameworks that SMEs can adopt with minimal cost and complexity. These standards enable GDPR-compliant consent, transparency, and data minimization, reducing legal risk and building user trust.

Impact on society (6th Open Call)

In terms of broader European interests, my fellowship contributes to EU goals of digital sovereignty, user empowerment, and privacy leadership on the global stage. As the EUDI wallet is adopted across Europe, this framework will provide a scalable model for data protection and user-centric identity management that can be extended beyond digital wallets to other data-sharing contexts, enhancing Europe’s role as a privacy leader. With data privacy becoming a key competitive factor, this initiative not only strengthens the protection of EU citizens’ rights but also sets a high standard for digital identity solutions globally.

Impact on SMEs (2nd Open Call)

Standardised biometric data formats enable interoperability and exchanging system components like biometric capture devices, algorithms, storage systems. This is of relevance for SMEs who typically provide only a single component rather than an entire solution like industry leading large corporations – which sometimes may rely on proprietary data formats.

Impact on SMEs (5th Open Call)

The interoperability achieved with this standard helps particularly SMEs who typically provide only a single component to a BSoC while larger corporations could provide an entire solution which may be proprietary.

Impact on society (2nd Open Call)

Biometric user authentication is present in many applications, including not only smartphone usage but also banking, national ID, healthcare and border management. Citizens in Europe and beyond benefit from the use of open standards in civil and governmental applications allowing transparency, privacy and guaranteed level of service.
