Series: The future of the EU is digital. How to start building it today.
Digital transactions, such as signing contracts and verifying identities as part of digital journeys or business processes, must now be fast, secure, and legally reliable.
Thanks to interoperable trust services, companies can enter into agreements and ensure they meet regulatory requirements in Europe with a level of security equivalent to that of their own country. This reduces administrative burdens and opens up seamless access to the European digital single market and beyond.
With the arrival of eIDAS 2.0, this dynamic is being reinforced. Reusable digital identities and mobile digital identity wallets offer greater efficiency, better protection against fraud, and increased convenience for users, while removing barriers to entry for businesses.
This paradigm shift, where digital identity is more than ever at the heart of integration, is a key lever for business expansion and the creation of a foundation of digital trust.
The impact of eIDAS 2.0 on remote verification
With the adoption of the eIDAS 2 regulation, identity verification is becoming more robust thanks to the integration of digital wallets such as those offered by Signaturit Group. Secure transactions with certified digital identities ensure rock-solid reliability. This development offers increased traceability and security for both users and businesses through processes such as passive liveness detection and biometric verification.
At the same time, the ETSI EN 119 461 standard, used for remote identity verification throughout Europe, requires that identification methods meet a level of assurance equivalent to that of in-person verification. This includes mechanisms such as liveness detection and multi-factor identity proof. However, while many companies focus on integrating physical identities, Signaturit Group, thanks to its digital portfolio, is able to offer a 100% digital solution that integrates an identity verification solution without the assistance of a human operator, unlike the PVID (Proof of Identity Verification) launched in March 2021.
This PVID solution is certified by ANSSI and combines artificial intelligence and human expertise to ensure secure and reliable digital identity verification. AI analyzes biometric data and identity documents, while human operators intervene to validate and guarantee the accuracy of the process, thus ensuring verification in accordance with the most stringent security standards.
These certified digital infrastructures also stimulate innovation in many sectors, including fintech, healthcare, energy, and public services, by enabling companies to offer advanced, secure, cross-border digital services.
In short, the digitization and certification of transactions under eIDAS is not just an innovation: it is the digital foundation of the future European economy.
Why does Signaturit Group’s digital wallet stand out?
The European digital wallet, provided for by eIDAS 2.0, is a key solution for reliable remote identification without human intervention. Signaturit Group has developed a digital identity platform that offers a solution compliant with European requirements, allowing its users to verify their identity securely, directly via a digital wallet.
