Discussion topics

Introduction

The Architecture and Reference Framework (ARF) is currently in development. To finalise it, the Commission, in collaboration with the European Digital Identity Cooperation Group (EDICG), has identified 24 open items,referred to as topics, that must be addressed and discussed by the end of 2025. The ARF roadmap project outlines these topics and provides a structured timeline for their resolution.

Objective

The Architecture and Reference Framework (ARF) defines high-level requirements for the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet, serving as the foundation for developing the technical specifications, standards, and procedures referenced by the European Commission in the implementing acts of the European Digital Identity Regulation. These elements ensure a consistent and standardised implementation of the EUDI Wallet ecosystem.

Process

The process of defining high-level requirements consists of five steps:

  1. A discussion paper on the topic is published on GitHub and on this page.
  2. The discussion paper includes several questions, each with a dedicated response thread in the GitHub discussion area.
  3. The discussion remains open for three weeks, and while responses to all the comments may not be provided, all input will be carefully considered.
  4. Approximately seven weeks after the discussion paper is published, the Commission will release an updated ARF version on GitHub, incorporating revisions to the topic.
  5. The published ARF version remains open for further comments on GitHub.

The topics are subject to change, and the order of the topics may be adjusted based on the feedback received during the discussions. The progress of the discussions can be tracked on the ARF Roadmap.

Topics

Topics are organised into three iterations, each focusing on a specific set of subjects to be included in a major document release. Below is the list of topics with links to their corresponding discussion papers. The requirements from each discussion paper will be consolidated and integrated into the major release at the end of each iteration, ensuring a structured and iterative development process for the ARF.
