Scaling Trust: a new era for effortless, secure Digital Transactions

Discover how Europe is redefining trust, identity, and security in the digital economy — and why the future belongs to pan-European QTSPs

As digital transactions grow and regulations evolve, organizations need trust services that are secure, compliant and scalable across borders.

In this whitepaper, Max Pellegrini, CEO of Namirial, outlines the challenges and opportunities ahead for the EU: the need for more efficient and secure digital services, an increasingly complex regulatory landscape giving rise to a new “scan economy,” and the urgent need to safeguard data sovereignty.

The era of fragmentation is over. Trust has a new name — and it speaks European.

What you will learn

The e-book analyzes the context and the crucial role of QTSPs (Qualified Trust Service Provider) in Europe’s digital society, addressing topics such as the so-called “Brussels Effect,” the revolution brought by the eIDAS 2 Regulation with the EUDI Wallet and the scan economy, as well as data sovereignty and the emerging security risks of quantum computing and generative AI

Inside the whitepaper, you’ll find a clear and actionable analysis of Europe’s digital trust landscape, including:

  • The role of QTSPs as the pillars of Europe’s digital society, enabling secure, compliant, cross-border digital services.
  • The Brussels Effect and how EU regulations like eIDAS 2 shape global digital trust models.
  • The Scan Economy: how the EUDI Wallet will transform onboarding, authentication, and data exchange at scale.
  • Data sovereignty as a strategic imperative, protecting European data from foreign jurisdictions such as the U.S. Cloud Act.
  • Emerging threats and opportunities: quantum computing, generative AI, cybersecurity, and the convergence of identity and payments.
  • Why Europe needs a Pan-European QTSP to ensure resilience, innovation, and digital autonomy.

Why this whitepaper matters

Europe is at a turning point. With eIDAS 2.0 and the EUDI Wallet redefining how citizens and companies interact online, organizations must prepare for a future where:

  • Identity is reusable and mobile
  • Trust is embedded into every transaction
  • Compliance is harmonized across the EU
  • Security, sovereignty, and interoperability are non-negotiable

This whitepaper provides the context and the vision needed to understand — and thrive in — this new landscape.

“Tomorrow’s digital Europe needs scale, resilience and innovation”.
