Inside Germany’s EUDI Wallet Competition with Leif Johansson

This week on ID Talk, hosts Tony Bitzionis and Alex Perala are joined by Leif Johansson, Director of Technology for the Siros Foundation, for a deep dive into the EUDI wallet and the future of passkeys.

Johansson details his work on the "WW wallet," a passkey-powered solution that emerged as one of the winners of Germany's official digital identity wallet competition, notably beating entries from Google and Samsung. He discusses the wallet's origins, the critical need for identity solutions to cover 100% of "edge cases" rather than just the majority, and why he believes the industry must draw a sharp distinction between true digital identity and the fungible world of cryptocurrency.
