The group will in particular contribute to:
- the assessment of secure and legally effective communication protocols and delivery channels;
- the design of core security features, including access control and authentication; and
- the development of common services supporting trust, discovery and interoperability, such as the European Digital Directory
The work will take into account the existing technical and operational baseline of the European Digital Identity ecosystem, while addressing the specific requirements of the European Business Wallet.
