DID - The future of digital identity is reusable

Reusable ID is coming. Here’s how to prepare and lead with privacy.

A forward-looking guide on how reusable digital identities, powered by decentralized infrastructure, can enable trusted transactions across sectors. The report covers key concepts behind eIDAS 2.0, decentralized identity (DID), and how to prepare for the future of consent-based access.

A shift in digital identity

Traditional identity verification has served its purpose - but as demands for security, speed, and privacy rise, it's becoming clear that the future lies in reusable, decentralized identity. For identity verification (IDV) and identity and access management (IAM) providers, the challenge is clear: adapt now, or fall behind. 

What’s driving the change

Governments across Europe are moving quickly to implement eIDAS 2.0. This regulation will make digital wallets and verified credentials a standard expectation across the EU. People are also paying more attention to their privacy. They're more aware of how their data is used, and they want more control over what they share. Companies trying to grow across markets - need faster, more secure ways to onboard users and reuse verified information. 

What reusable identity enables

A decentralized, reusable identity model changes what’s possible:
● Users control their verified attributes and decide when to share
● Businesses reduce friction and speed up verification
● Fraud risk is lowered through cryptographic verification
● Regulatory compliance becomes easier with verifiable logs and revocation capabilities 

eIDAS 2.0: the moment to move

Europe’s updated eIDAS regulation introduces the European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet). This sets a common technical and legal framework for how identity is issued, held, and used.

74% of consumers are more likely to trust companies that prioritize robust data privacy measures.
