New call: European Digital Identity and Trust Ecosystem

Published on | 1 year ago

Programmes Deployment: Best use of technologies

The European Commission has published a new call under the Digital Europe programme (Special Objective 5: Deployment and best use of technologies): European Digital Identity and Trust Ecosystem (Standards and Sample Implementation).

The action aims to support the implementation of the European Digital Identity and Trust Ecosystem and manage the transition between the current and future frameworks supplementing or replacing the current digital service infrastructure (eID) by the EU Digital Identity Wallet framework. 

The call foresees support for two successive waves of large-scale pilots to test the deployment of the EU Digital Identity Wallet in priority use cases, including pilots using the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) to support the EU Digital Identity Wallet in cross border use cases, deploying the EU Digital Identity Wallet in national eID ecosystems by Member States. The second round of grants should help enhance technical specifications and implementation guidelines for the wallet and its eco-system and prepare its application in a new range of use cases, enabling it to support interaction with a wide range of public and private services and related attestations.

More information on the call, its objectives, scope and conditions of participation can be found on the Funding & Tenders Portal: DIGITAL-2024-BESTUSE-TECH-06-TRUST 

The call is planned to open for submission on 14 May 2024, deadline to submit proposals is 24 September 2024.

ROOT - Rolling Out OSNMA for the secure synchronization of Telecom networks

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022,  aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.

The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
