WP5 — EU-Wallet based Smartphone Applications, Cloud computing, communication Environment Development (Lead: IDENTY)
Goals & Objectives
- Develop user-friendly, GDPR-compliant mobile applications for border crossing and verification.
- Ensure secure data communication and integration with backend systems for real-time functionality.
- Build cloud infrastructure supporting secure, privacy-focused data storage and processing.
Tasks
- Task 5.1: Mobile, extended EUDI wallet-based border crossing application for passengers using smartphone sensors, passenger consent confirmation (IDENTY (L), THALES, THALCZ, FHG, XLAB, AIT; M4-18) The mobile application serves as the user interface for accessing and interacting with the system, providing a seamless and secure experience for users. Security features are critical, including end-to-end encryption for data transmission, secure storage of biometric templates, and compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR. The application should also offer a user-friendly interface with accessibility options and support for multi-language capabilities. Integration with backend services and APIs ensures real-time synchronization, updates, and system interoperability, enhancing the app’s functionality and responsiveness.
- Task 5.2: Mobile EES-compatible passenger verification application for border guards (for all travel modalities) (IDENTY (L), THALCZ, FHG, XLAB; M4-12) The mobile application for border patrol captures and verifies passenger faces in real time, providing immediate feedback to officers. It uses advanced facial recognition algorithms and encrypted communication to ensure accuracy, speed, and data security. Key features include offline functionality, user-friendly design, and compliance with privacy regulations. The app integrates multiple biometric sources (face, fingerprint, document verification) for comprehensive identity verification, streamlining decision-making with actionable insights and alerts. Continuous optimization ensures high performance, while GDPR-compliant measures maintain privacy and accountability, enabling secure and efficient border operations.
- Task 5.3: Secure cloud data management and computing within extended EUDI wallet framework, to NUI (national node) and ESS (euLISA node) emulation (XLAB (L), AIT, IDENTY; M4-18) Secure cloud data management and computing within a digital wallet framework involves creating and management of a robust infrastructure that ensures the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive user information as per ESS Technical Guide requirements. Importantly, this cloud is local to specific BP, only communicating with the wallet, sensors and providing the data to NUI/ESS. Use of encryption for data at rest and in transit and access controls to prevent unauthorized access and potential data wipe of equipment is required. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and secure APIs further protect data interactions between the digital wallet and cloud systems. The performance will be closely monitored to adhere to required KPIs.
- Task 5.4: Interface to EES, Search lists, etc. emulation/mock-up with sample data from OnMoveID partners (IDENTY (L), UL, THALES, THALCZ, XLAB, IDEMIA; M4-18) Interface emulation and mock-ups, along with sample data from OnMoveID partners, play a crucial role in early-stage testing and validation of the system’s functionality. By creating a simulated environment that emulates the user interface and interaction flows, development teams can test how the system will perform without requiring the full deployment of hardware or final software versions. Sample data provided by OnMoveID partners allows for realistic testing scenarios, enabling the evaluation of data processing, integration, and security protocols within the system. This approach allows for quick verification of usability issues, performance bottlenecks, and compatibility challenges, providing valuable feedback for refining the interface and ensuring that it meets both technical requirements and user expectations. The mock-up and emulated interfaces offer a low-risk, high-reward setup for iterative testing, facilitating seamless collaboration among partners and accelerating development.
- Task 5.5: Secure and privacy preserving local data communication and remote cloud communication (XLAB (L), THALCZ, AIT, IDENTY; M4-24) A digital wallet-based system for secure and privacy-preserving data communication enables users to share minimal necessary information while maintaining strong privacy protections. This approach uses advanced cryptographic techniques, such as zero-knowledge proofs and selective disclosure, allowing users to authenticate or verify identity attributes without exposing full data profiles. Sparse data transmission minimizes exposure by only sharing essential information based on context, significantly reducing the risk of data leakage. The digital wallet stores data securely, utilizing encryption both at rest and in transit, while implementing user consent protocols to ensure control over shared information. Privacy-preserving measures align with regulatory standards like GDPR, emphasizing data minimization and user autonomy. This secure communication framework offers an efficient, privacy-focused alternative for data exchange, safeguarding user information while meeting authentication and verification needs effectively.
- Task 5.6: EUDI Wallet evaluation methodology (CLR (L), XLAB, IDENTY; M18-24) This task corresponds to the realisation of an evaluation methodology specific to the EUDI wallet. This will consider the existing evaluation methodologies and existing standards related to the theme.
