prCEN/TS 18098 Guidelines for the onboarding of user personal identification data within European Digital Identity Wallets #322
Description
Formal name
prCEN/TS 18098 Guidelines for the onboarding of user personal identification data within European Digital Identity Wallets
Overview
This document defines and describes the concept of on-boarding of person identification data (PID) within a Wallet. The scope of this document includes cases where a natural person is the User in control of a Wallet. This includes a natural person who is in control of their own information, as well as natural persons who control information to represent another natural person or a legal person. This document considers a single set of PID attributes linked to a single Wallet Unit. This does not exclude the issuance of multiple PIDs representing the same set of PID attributes, e.g. batch issuance.
It also provides the general workflow, the roles and responsibilities at stake, and links the on-boarding with the Level of Assurance concept underpinning eIDAS;
