Aptitude is inviting independent experts to join its Technology Accelerator Board (TAB) as ad-hoc members and help address the challenges of implementing the EU Digital Identity Wallet in practice. While the EU’s common architecture and reference framework supports interoperability, implementation across many independent organisations is complex: governments must issue certified wallets and credentials, businesses must accept them and users must be able to understand and control what they share.
The TAB brings independent expertise from industry and academia into the project. It aims to facilitate independent scrutiny of Aptitude outputs, identify potential solutions to EUDI Wallet implementation challenges and grow the credibility of the Aptitude Large Scale Pilot.
Ad-hoc TAB members provide feedback on the project’s rulebooks, specifications, use cases and implementation approaches, and propose potential solutions to the challenges that arise during implementation.
The call is open to organisations and experts with no affiliation to the Aptitude consortium, in particular:
- Digital wallet and trusted credential providers, offering feedback on architecture, interoperability, usability and credential integration;
- Trust services and cybersecurity providers, offering feedback on security, trustworthiness and robustness;
- Technology providers, integrators and orchestrators, offering feedback on practical deployment, technical feasibility and adoption scenarios.
Ideal candidates have demonstrable technical expertise in a relevant domain, existing products, services or R&D activities, an interest in emerging technologies, standards and interoperability and availability to take part in technical discussions and feedback sessions, as well as the potential to integrate, adopt or benefit from the developments of Aptitude.
Interested organisations and experts are invited to describe a challenge facing the eIDAS and EUDI Wallet ecosystem and explain how they could help address it, by completing the proposal form.
Note: Please submit one form per challenge. Proposals are reviewed by the TAB lead and approved by the TAB, after which feedback sessions are scheduled.
