Abstract

Interoperability in Identity and Identity Management Systems is a mounting concern for European policymakers, governments and administrators. Plans are being discussed, for example, with respect to European eIDs. However, interoperability seems to be too focused on technical aspects at a time when privacy concerns are emerging as a major stumbling block. How can Europe achieve a more balanced approach? This article discusses the results of the current FIDIS research in the area of interoperability.
