EU-US Digital Identity Mapping Exercise Report Now Open for Feedback…and Save the Date for a Webinar!
Following a successful round of government-to-government technical exchanges earlier this calendar year, in March 2023, the European Commission and the US 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 US approaches to digital identity.
Released today, 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 EC and the US 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 US, or in cross-border contexts; and others with equities related to the topic of digital identity. Feedback is requested by 5:59 AM CET on March 1, 2024 / 11:59 PM EST on February 29, 2024 and can be submitted via dig-comments@nist.gov and more information can be found on our website.
