TRADE AND TECHNOLOGY COUNCIL (TTC) 

EU-U.S. TTC WG1 Digital Identity Mapping Exercise Report now open for feedback and webinar Save the Date
 

Dear Mark,

Following a successful round of government-to-government technical exchanges earlier this calendar year, in March 2023, the European Commission and the U.S. Government, operating under the auspices of the US-EU Trade and Technology Council (TTC), publicly committed to undertake a transatlantic mapping exercise with the objective of finding commonalities between the EU and U.S. approaches to digital identity. 

Released on December 22, the jointly authored EU-US TTC Digital Identity Mapping Exercise Report, provides the preliminary results of an initial mapping centered on the definitions, assurance levels, and references to international standards included across Revision 3 of the NIST Digital Identity Guidelines (Special Publication 800-63, Revision 3) and European Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market. 

The next phase of this project will include collecting feedback and selecting potential use cases for transatlantic cooperation that highlight the need for and value of enabling the cross-border use of digital identities. The European Commission and the U.S. are actively seeking comments from communities with subject matter expertise in digital identity, privacy, human-centered design, and cybersecurity; organisations that have designed or implemented digital identity systems within the EU, the U.S., or in cross-border contexts; and others with equities related to the topic of digital identity. 

Call for Comments

Feedback on the report, as well as use cases and areas of potential U.S.-EU cooperation on digital identity, is requested 5:59 AM CET on March 1, 2024 / 11:59 PM EST on February 29, 2024 and can be submitted via CNECT-H4@ec.europa.eu or dig-comments@nist.gov.
