Cryptographers' Feedback on the EU Digital Identity’s ARF #200
This is the EU Digital Identity Wallet, eiDAS 2.0.
Unfortunately, we believe that some of the currently suggested design aspects of the EUDI and its credential mechanism fall short of the privacy requirements that were explicitly defined after extensive debate in the Digital Identity regulation. The main reason for this shortcoming in the current proposal is that it relies on cryptographic methods that were never designed for such requirements. We do not see a way to fix the proposed solution to meet all the privacy features as required by the regulation; we believe that a larger redesign is in order.
