We keep saying “wallet,” but is that metaphor helping anyone? This week’s post takes a closer look at what #digitalwallets really are and why the term might be holding us back. Curious what we should call them instead? I’ve got questions. You might have answers.

#VerifiableCredentials
Kill the Wallet? Rethinking the Metaphors Behind Digital Identity
Much like "the cloud" or "the superhighway", the metaphor of a "wallet" has become convenient shorthand for a tangle of technical, policy, and usability decisions. As we keep building out digital identity ecosystems with verifiable credentials, identity wallets, and cross-jurisdictional trust models, I ask: is the metaphor still helping us?

Recurring objection to my EUDI Wallet analysis: "Semantics come from rulebooks, not JSON-LD. @context is unnecessary."

The premise is correct. The conclusion doesn't follow.

I'm in Berlin and excited for the start of #EIC2025. Today I'm practicing my talk for Wednesday on #VerifiableCredentials and #Biometrics. I hope to see you there! Anyone willing to join me for a morning run?

My talk is accepted at the Kuppinger Cole European Identity and Cloud Conference (EIC 2025).

www.kuppingercole.com/sessions/584...

Let me know if you'll be in Berlin in May. I would love to meet up and discuss #DigitalIdentity and #Biometrics.
A screen shot from the web site for the European Identity and Cloud Conference (EIC) 2025, showing a session titled "Biometrics and Verifiable Credentials: Balancing Security and Privacy" on Wednesday, May 07, 2025 12:05—12:25. The abstract says: "Biometric providers are facing new challenges as regulations governing biometric data become stricter and organizations try to extend their biometric enabled business processes across ecosystems of partners. Verifiable credentials are an effective way to move data between organizations, but relying parties often require assurances that the presenter of the credential is the same person who received it. Biometrics solve this problem, but identity practitioners should be cautious that the way they integrate biometrics does not undermine the privacy and flexibility offered by credentials. In this presentation, we share best practices for integrating biometrics and verifiable credentials to meet real world problems." The presenter is: Richard Esplin Head of Product Dock Labs AG The start of the bio says: "Richard Esplin is a seasoned product leader specializing in digital identity, open source software, and enterprise solutions. Currently serving as Head of Product at Dock, he leads product..." The URL is: https://www.kuppingercole.com/sessions/5844/1
