Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. Following the adoption of a regulation to establish the European Digital Identity Framework, the European Commission has requested ENISA to provide support for the certification of European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallets, including the development of a candidate European cybersecurity certification scheme in accordance with the Cybersecurity Act.
\nThe\u00a0public consultation\u00a0aims to validate the principles and general organisation of the proposed scheme, and to gather feedback on the proposed elements of the draft candidate scheme and on its annexes. The deadline for providing responses is 30 April 2026.
\nUpcoming webinar
\nENISA will organise a\u00a0webinar to provide information about the EUDI Wallet draft candidate scheme and to answer questions on Wednesday 8 April, from 15:00 to 16:30 CEST.\u00a0
\nNational EUDI Wallet certification schemes
\nIn February 2026, ENISA signed a Contribution Agreement for 1.6 million EUR with the European Commission for two years to provide support for the development, roll-out and implementation of EU Digital Identity Wallet national certification schemes.\u00a0Funded by the Digital Europe Work Programme (DEP) 2025-2027, the Agreement sets out the following clusters of activities that ENISA shall support:<\/p>\n

Development of national certification schemes by Member States
\nIncreased knowledge, skills, and mutual trust for Member States and the certification ecosystem\u00a0
\nIncreased capacity and operational effectiveness for Member States and the certification ecosystem\u00a0
\nInitiated alignment and effective transition from national certification schemes to a European cybersecurity certification scheme<\/p>\n

Member States are to provide at least one certified EU Digital Identity Wallet by the end of 2026. ENISA will support the European Commission and the Member States to set out cybersecurity controls in the digital identification field allowing its timely uptake across the EU.
\nWhat is the EUDI Wallet?
\nThe use of digital wallets is a pivotal step towards a seamless and secure identification in both the physical and digital world. It ensures the security and protection of privacy of users and their personal data. The certification scheme will verify that each wallet meets high security requirements.
\nWallet implementations have, until 2026, rarely undergone any formal certification.\u00a0The development of certification schemes addresses the need for a coherent cybersecurity framework that facilitates compliance for manufactures, improves transparency and support the secure use of digital products and services.\u00a0
\nThe EU Digital Identity Wallets will also be discussed at the 2026 European Cybersecurity Certification Conference titled Building trust through Certification: \u201cSecurity Claims must be proven \u2013 not promised\u201d on 15 April 2026, in Cyprus.<\/p>\n
