Different national certification schemes for EUDI Wallets may lead to contradictory assessments, confusing users and diminishing trust in the ecosystem, so a European certification scheme could be (ideally) considered to mandate the issuance of qualified electronic attestation of attributes for certified EUDI Wallets, avoiding situations where attributes can’t be issued to a certified wallet solution by PID/(Q)EAA Issuers, facilitating cross-border scenarios of combined presentations*.
When it is considered not feasible that all providers of certified wallets handle multiple PIDs from multiple countries in a single wallet instance, this addressed in the corresponding use case / domain - specific rulebooks so that they provide enough details about holder binding, making it possible to e.g. store IT bachelor's degree, FR master's degree, and NL doctoral degree in a single wallet instance.
Example of cross-border Use Case: a citizen with a bachelor's degree from Italy, a master's degree from France, and a doctoral degree from the Netherlands applies for a job in Germany that requires the combined presentation of all degrees along with the corresponding PID. Until a European CSA certification scheme is established, we suggest that, at least at the sectorial level, the option to mandate the issuance of QEAAs to all certified EUDI Wallets should be considered or to have this addressed in the corresponding use case / domain - specific rulebooks with sufficient details about holder binding.
