NOTAS: | "Secure electronic interactions are the backbone of an economy fit for the digital age. However, the current European framework for digital identity solutions, provided by the eIDAS Regulation, has several shortcomings that have rendered it outdated. Most notably, the regulation has a strong focus on public authorities and works on a voluntary basis for Member States, which in practice means that a big percentage of the European population is not covered. In this new CERRE Tech, Media, Telecom issue paper, Research Fellow Christoph Busch scrutinises the changing regulatory framework for digital identity solutions in the platform economy. The issue paper identifies vital regulatory issues and makes policy recommendations for an innovative and competitive identity ecosystem that may benefit all players." |
