Europe is building a new digital identity model in which interoperable wallets, trust services and compliance by design become central elements of the digital ecosystem. In this context, the wallet is no longer just an authentication tool, but a true trust infrastructure capable of integrating identity, governance and legal validity within enterprise digital processes.
Why is digital identity reshaping trust and governance?
Digital transformation has made IT ecosystems increasingly distributed, connected and complex. Hybrid cloud environments, SaaS platforms, AI systems and cross-border services require identity models that are reliable, interoperable and verifiable.
At the same time, European regulations such as eIDAS 2.0, NIS2, GDPR and DORA are redefining the role of digital identity, turning it into an architectural requirement rather than a purely technological feature.
In this scenario, digital wallets become the control point through which authentication, electronic signatures, attestations and selective data sharing can be managed while ensuring compliance, traceability and governance. This paper explores how Aruba combines digital wallets, qualified trust services and european cloud infrastructure into a unified Digital Integrity model.
