The President of the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), Claudia Plattner, presented a local prototype for an e-wallet based on the European Digital Identity Act (EUid) at the re:publica internet conference in Berlin on Tuesday. The app is currently called EUDI (European Digital Identity). After opening the application, it showed: “My ID is in there”, as Plattner explained. Names, birthdays, addresses and other personal data are also stored in the wallet.
The BSI boss presented the opening of a bank account as a usage scenario. To do this, she identifies herself with her online ID, enters her address and releases the required information after being prompted to do so and entering a six-digit PIN. The details of the transfer can be displayed to the user. And the account is created.
