The EU’s Large-Scale Pilot for a digital identity wallet introduces a secure, interoperable architecture for PID (Personal Identification Data) and biometric second-factor authentication. Built on decentralized identity principles and verifiable credentials (VCs), this initiative will have profound implications for Identity and Access Management (IAM) across sectors. We’ll examine the wallet’s technical framework, its integration with existing IAM systems, and its role in employee credentialing. Real-world applications in travel, hospitality, payments, and enterprise environments will be explored.

In this session you will learn more about:

• Technical structure of EU wallet and decentralized identity layers
• Verifiable Credentials integration with enterprise IAM architectures
• Impact on trust frameworks, authentication flows, and access policies

• How will decentralized identity models (DID, VC) disrupt traditional IAM infrastructures? (Consider federated vs. self-sovereign identity approaches.)
• What architectural or security challenges might arise when integrating EU wallets with existing IAM systems?
• How can enterprises validate and trust externally issued credentials (e.g., employee VCs)? (Should we rely on centralized trust anchors or dynamic trust frameworks?)
• What role will zero trust and fine-grained access control play in a VC-based identity landscape?
• How should IAM governance evolve to accommodate cross-border identity portability and lifecycle management?
