  The European Union is on course to introduce a European Digital Identity that
will be available to all EU citizens and businesses. This will have a huge
impact on how citizens and businesses interact online. Big Tech companies
currently dictate how digital identities are used. As a result, they have
amassed vast amounts of private user data. Movements like Self-Sovereign
Identity aim to give users control over their online identity. TrustVault is
the first data wallet that gives users back control of their identity and all
their data. TrustVault allows users to store all their data on their
smartphones and control with whom they share it. The user has fine-grained
access control based on verifiable user attributes. EBSI connects TrustVault to
the European Self-Sovereign Identity Framework allowing users to use Verifiable
Credentials from public and private institutions in their access control
policies. The system is serverless and has no Trusted Third Parties. TrustVault
replaces the for-profit infrastructure of Big Tech with a public and
transparent platform for innovation.
