Goals for the wallet subtask in relation to
...
the GN5-2 Tech Annex
...
- Complementary to technical developments in the services and incubator tasks in this WP, in the area of eIDAS 2.0 and EUDI wallets, T6 will:
- Explore the research and education use cases for the wallet.
- Facilitate information exchange around the wallet developments in the GÉANT community.
- Foster collaboration towards global interoperability for the R&E use cases.
- Support participation in relevant forums, standardisation bodies, industry working groups, etc., fostering liaison and bringing in the position of the GÉANT community
Topics worked on in this subtask and their eventual evolution:
The wallet subtask will help achieve the above goals by exploring the eight below topics
- 1
- Current state of the Digital Identity Wallets -> 5 Credentials and wallets community effort
- 2 Digital identity wallet terminology -> Ontological view of wallets and credentials in R&E
This topic will explore the current state of the digital identity wallet both from a national and NREN perspective in EU and globally.
Subtopics:- Digital identity wallet terminology
This topic will try to give an overview of the terminology used in the digital identity wallet context based on regulations, technical specifications and standards. 3 - The role of identity federations in the wallet eco-system -> Cross boundary use of identities and the underlying trust infrastructures
This topic will explore the role of identity federations in the wallet eco-system from an NREN perspective and among other things see if there are synergies with the trust infrastructure we are running for our existing identity federations. 4 - Interoperability for Identity Wallets and Credentials -> Seed for a global R&E interoperability lab
- Impact analysis and storytelling
Phases in the subtask
- Information gathering and initial outreach - roughly 2025
- Community building and use case understanding - roughly 2026
- Help facilitate interoperability for the wallet and credential eco-system in R&E - roughly 2027
Output of the subtask
- Information from all topics worked on
- Survey results over time (atleast two)
- Impact analysis (story) - preferably both from a technical (CTO) and business (CEO) perspective
- Mini stories (under 5 minute) explaining different parts of this complex eco-system
- Guides for others (services and organizations) to utilize and be interoperable with the new emerging eco-system

This topic will explore how we can achieve interoperability of wallets and credentials within the research and education sector sector as-well as outside our sector.- Credentials and wallets community effort
This topic will explore the possibility to create an NREN community where we can help each others when it comes to questions and concerns in regards to the wallets and credentials we potentially want to support. - Ontological view of wallets and credentials in R&E
This topic will explore the interconnectedness and relations between the concepts and categories in the wallet and credential domain for the research and education sector. - R&E use cases for wallets and credentials
This topic will list and explore different use cases being investigate and implemented within the research and education sector. - Global R&E interoperability lab
This topic will explore what would be needed and possible help facilitate setting up the foundation of a global research and education interoperability lab.
