A handful cryptographers were asked for feedback on the architecture of the European Identity Wallet (the Architecture Reference Framwork (ARF), currently at version 1.4.0). We seized the opportunity to write a short report to urge Europe to reconsider the design, and to base it on the use of anonymous (aka attribute-based) credentials.
Anonymous credentials were designed specifically to achieve authentication and identification that are both secure and privacy-preserving. As a result, they fully meet the requirements put forth in the eiDAS 2.0 regulation. (The current design does not.) Moreover, they are by now a mature technology. In particular we recommend to use the BBS family of anonymous credentials, which are efficient and mathematically proven secure.
Leaked internal documents have exposed the activities of a Russian state-backed legal defence foundation that European intelligence agencies and analysts say is in fact a Kremlin influence operation active in 48 countries across Europe and around the world.
Internal documents from the Fund for Support and Protection of the Rights of Compatriots Living Abroad (Pravfond) indicate that the foundation finances propaganda websites targeted at Europeans, helped pay for the legal defence of the convicted arms trafficker Viktor Bout and the assassin Vadim Krasikov, and has employed a number of former intelligence officers as the directors of its operations in European countries.
Russian military intelligence, the G.R.U., is behind arson attacks aimed at undermining support for Ukraine’s war effort, security officials say.

La Commission se félicite de l'accord politique auquel le Parlement européen et le Conseil sont parvenus la nuit dernière concernant le règlement sur la cybersolidarité, proposé par la Commission en avril 2023.
Le règlement sur la cybersolidarité renforcera la solidarité au niveau de l'UE afin de mieux détecter les menaces et incidents de cybersécurité, de mieux s'y préparer et de mieux y réagir. Cet accord intervient à un moment crucial pour la cybersécurité de l'UE, étant donné que le paysage des cybermenaces dans l'UE continue d'être affecté par les événements géopolitiques.
