Eight independent, source-linked briefings for people making digital-identity decisions in Ireland.
Irish digital identity: what is live and what is next
Ireland is testing a Government Digital Wallet while organisations prepare for an EU framework whose production details are still developing.
How to buy identity verification without starting with a demo
Begin with the service decision, evidence and failure consequences before comparing suppliers.
Age assurance is not one technology
Declaration, inference, estimation, verification and reusable proof solve different problems and create different risks.
Privacy questions before an identity pilot
A useful DPIA describes the configured data flow, roles, failure and alternatives—not a generic provider diagram.
EUDI protocols: read the version, profile and scope
OpenID4VCI and OpenID4VP describe issuance and presentation, while profiles, formats and trust choices determine real interoperability.
Deepfake-resistant onboarding needs layers
Liveness is one control in a process that also needs evidence, injection protection, device/session controls, review and recovery security.
Accessible identity is part of assurance
A method that excludes legitimate users is not operationally effective, even if its happy path is secure.
From identity pilot to production evidence
A pilot is useful only when it tests representative users, fraud, privacy, accessibility, operations and stop conditions.
