EU Cybersecurity Certification Scheme for European Digital Identity Wallets

The European Commission has tasked ENISA with developing a cybersecurity certification scheme specifically for European Digital Identity Wallets as part of the EU Cybersecurity Certification Framework. This scheme will define security and conformity-assessment requirements for EUDI Wallet implementations. For wallet vendors and trust-service providers, this represents a key regulatory lever: certification will likely become mandatory or strongly incentivized for market access, and the scheme's technical criteria may require development effort, third-party audits, and ongoing compliance. The scheme sits alongside the European Digital Identity Regulation (eIDAS 2) and will influence wallet design, issuance practices, and relying-party integration.
