eIDAS is a great initiative but unfortunately I think it’s going to take a while before it becomes useful outside government. As you said, many countries don’t have well established e-IDs and that is what I’m trying to remedy. My main target is not government. Ht
Smart cards don’t work very well today where the average person uses most services through their phone. With the HSMs in modern phones, security in a e-ID app will get very close to that of a smart card though which is really exciting!
Moreover it requires a smart card for the highest level of authentication.
