Dear Reader,

Welcome to the inaugural issue of TRUST MAGAZINE – Eviden’s Digital ID Insights, your trusted source for the latest developments in cybersecurity, authentication, and identity management. In an era where digital transformation is reshaping the way we work, live, and interact, the security of our identities has never been more critical.

This issue delves into key discussions surrounding digital identity and security, providing valuable insights from industry experts.

In “The Middleware Puzzle: Why eID Cards Need Extra Security Layers”, we explore the essential role of smart card middleware in enabling secure and interoperable identity solutions. Governments worldwide are integrating physical and digital credentials, making middleware a crucial bridge between security and accessibility.

Authentication is evolving rapidly, as highlighted in “Ditch the Hassle, Keep the Security: The Future of Authentication is Here.” Virtual Smart Cards (VSCs) are revolutionizing credential management by eliminating physical tokens while enhancing security and user convenience.

The Quantum Agility Conundrum

Picture this: A quantum computer hums to life in some high-tech lab, and within moments, decades of encryption techniques — the ones we trust to protect sensitive information like bank transfers and eID systems — become useless. It’s not a sci-fi scenario; it’s the...

Quantum computers are coming — Are you ready or playing catch-up?

Quantum computers are rapidly moving toward a level where they could break today’s standard cryptographic systems — like RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and ECC — that currently protect everything from web browsing to corporate email. While quantum machines aren’t yet powerful...

Strong partnerships drive innovation in digital identity, and our collaboration with Mühlbauer is a testament to this. As a global leader in secure technology and eID system integration, Mühlbauer plays a key role in shaping the future of electronic identity. At...

The Identity Double-Cross: Self-Sovereignty vs. eID

Envision a world where you are the master of your own identity. You decide who sees your name, age, or even your shopping history. That is the promise of self-sovereign identity (SSI)—you control your personal data, while others have no authority over it. This concept...

The Middleware Puzzle: Why eID Cards Need Extra Security Layers

National identity projects increasingly combine physical chip-based eID cards with digital credentials. By pairing both forms of ID, governments can expand citizen services and improve accessibility. One growing trend in identity management is integrating multiple...
