Project Design
We help you adopt digital identities in your business processes — from mapping identity flows and credential architectures to designing pilot programs that test wallet-based interactions in practice.
Digital Identity Advisory

Digital Identities that Empower People
Regen Studio provides independent digital identity advisory, such as eIDAS 2.0 strategy for private and public institutions, use case design, standardization and prototyping demonstrators.
Digital identity is the foundation of trust in a connected world. From signing contracts to proving qualifications, from crossing borders to accessing public services — how we identify ourselves online shapes how much control we have over our own lives. Getting identity right means building systems where people, not platforms, hold the keys to their data.
The EU's eIDAS 2.0 regulation (EU 2024/1183) is turning this vision into reality. By , every EU member state must offer citizens a European Digital Identity Wallet — enabling cross-border identification, selective disclosure of personal attributes, and qualified electronic signatures, all under the user's control. It is the most ambitious digital identity framework in the world.
Regen Studio acts as an independent advisor in the digital identity space. We designed the EDI Wallet demo showcasing eIDAS 2.0 concepts in practice, led the Trusted DPP position paper for FIDES and the Dutch Blockchain Coalition connecting digital identity to product passports, and write about Self-Sovereign Identity and privacy-by-design.

How We Help
Digital identity is a cross-cutting challenge — touching technology, regulation, organisational design, and ecosystem strategy. We offer focused advisory services to help you navigate it.
Regulatory Analysis
We help you derive what the regulatory framework means for you — translating eIDAS 2.0, GDPR, and sector-specific rules into concrete obligations, timelines, and design constraints for your context.
Vision & Strategy
We help you determine what digital identity can mean for your organisation — defining strategic opportunities, assessing readiness, and building a roadmap that connects identity to your broader goals.
Standardisation & Interoperability
We help you choose technical standards that establish interconnections with a broad ecosystem — navigating W3C, EBSI, OpenID, and ISO frameworks to ensure your identity architecture is future-proof and interoperable.
Key Concepts
Digital identity is a fast-evolving field shaped by regulation, technology, and a growing demand for privacy. Here are the building blocks we work with.
eIDAS 2.0
The revised European regulation (EU 2024/1183) for electronic identification and trust services. It mandates that all EU member states offer citizens a European Digital Identity Wallet by 2026, creating a common framework for cross-border digital identity.
European Digital Identity Wallets
Secure mobile applications issued under eIDAS 2.0 that allow citizens to store identity credentials, present them selectively, and sign documents electronically — all under their own control, across borders and sectors.
Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)
An identity model where individuals own and control their digital credentials without depending on a central authority. SSI forms the philosophical basis for user-centric identity. Critics note that eIDAS 2.0 stops short of true SSI — wallets are issued by member states, not self-created, and trust still flows through government-approved schemes. The principles of selective disclosure and user control are present, but full decentralization is not.
Verifiable Credentials
Tamper-proof, cryptographically signed digital statements — such as diplomas, licenses, or proofs of age — that a holder stores in a wallet and presents to verifiers, who can check authenticity without contacting the issuer.
Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)
Globally unique identifiers that are created, owned, and controlled by the subject — not by a central registry. DIDs enable verifiable, decentralized digital identity and are a key component of the SSI stack.
Privacy-by-Design
A design approach where privacy protections are built into systems from the start, not bolted on after. In digital identity, this means selective disclosure, data minimization, and ensuring users share only what is strictly necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Digital Identity?
A digital identity is the collection of attributes, credentials, and identifiers that represent a person, organisation, or thing in the digital world. It is how you prove who you are online — whether logging into a service, signing a document, or verifying your age.
Unlike traditional identity systems that rely on centralized databases controlled by governments or companies, modern digital identity frameworks — such as those emerging under Self-Sovereign Identity and eIDAS 2.0 — give individuals direct control over their own data through digital wallets and verifiable credentials.
What is eIDAS 2.0?
eIDAS 2.0 (Regulation EU 2024/1183) is the revised European framework for electronic identification and trust services. It updates the original 2014 eIDAS regulation with a much broader scope and a new centerpiece: the European Digital Identity Wallet.
Under eIDAS 2.0, all EU member states must offer citizens a wallet by 2026 that enables cross-border identity verification, selective disclosure of personal attributes (proving you're over 18 without revealing your date of birth), and qualified electronic signatures — all under the user's control. Large online platforms will be required to accept these wallets for authentication.
What is Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)?
Self-Sovereign Identity is a model where individuals own and control their digital identity without depending on a central authority. Instead of a platform or government holding your data and deciding what to share, you hold cryptographically signed credentials in your own wallet and choose when and with whom to share them.
SSI relies on technologies like Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials to enable trust without centralization. It underpins many of the principles embedded in eIDAS 2.0 and is the philosophical foundation for the European Digital Identity Wallet. Read more in our deep dive on SSI and privacy-by-design.
How does Regen Studio help with Digital Identity?
We are an independent advisory firm — we don't build identity platforms or sell wallet software. We help organisations understand, strategize, and design around digital identity challenges.
Concretely, we designed the EDI Wallet demo to make eIDAS 2.0 concepts tangible, led the Trusted DPP position paper for FIDES and the Dutch Blockchain Coalition connecting digital identity to product passports, and write extensively about SSI, verifiable credentials, and privacy-by-design. We work with governments, industry coalitions, and technology teams navigating the shift toward user-centric identity.
What are Verifiable Credentials?
Verifiable Credentials are tamper-proof, cryptographically signed digital statements issued by a trusted party. They can represent anything from a university diploma to a proof of address to a professional license. The holder stores them in a digital wallet and can present them to verifiers — who can check their authenticity instantly without contacting the issuer.
This is a core building block of both eIDAS 2.0 and Self-Sovereign Identity. Combined with selective disclosure, verifiable credentials allow you to prove specific claims (e.g., "I am over 18") without revealing the underlying data (your full date of birth). Try it yourself in our EDI Wallet demo.
