Data - and lately especially verified data - has for many years been a top priority in national and EU priorities.

Why? Because too many still think that the wallets will be used only or mainly to identify citizens. When they in fact will serve life events not only for citizens - but also for organizations and things - with all sorts of verified data - building the identity - all the way to a digital twin (if so chosen). The state issued identification credent...

- no one will be interested in that online bank (early 1980s > half a million customers were using it in Finland when Internet came) - one-time passwords are far too difficult to use (served well until replaced mostly by face) - the identification service does not belong to banks (it has been heard from the times of Venice).

If you have a hammer, everything around may look like a nail - they say. With the hammer-advent of Self-sovereign Identity, DIDs, decentralised data, Trust over IP, Findy.fi, Open Wallet Foundation, eIDAS2 and especially the work on organisation wallets in EWC this is for sure looking like being the case. Any number of use cases have been listed....
