It is in a developmental stage.....a secure mobile app being developed under the European Union's updated eIDAS 2.0 regulation.
It's designed to serve as a digital ID and personal wallet for EU citizens, residents, and businesses, allowing them to prove their identity online, store and share verified digital documents, and sign transactions across member states in a privacy-focused way.
It would keep control of personal data, rather than relying on third-party platforms that might track or monetize it.
You'd have the 'cookie', and it'd access some secure cloud.
Full rollout? The talk is first half of 2027.
Problems? First, it was introduced as a concept as being 'voluntary'. A lot of talk in the past 3 months in Germany....it'd be more than voluntary.
Second issue....some now suggest it has to force users to use real-names....for social media.
Third issue....who else has access, besides you?
Fourth issue....the odds that the Russians and Chinese are already trying to get access to the cloud?
Fifth issue....forcing all visitors/guests/tourists into the EU to participate as well?
By early 2027....I expect this to be a highly politicized issue in Germany.
