Abstract

Identity wallets are an emerging interface for the new systems based on self-sovereignty identity. However, implementing it poses several challenges, including complexity, security, and conformance to industry standards. This project aims to evaluate wallet initiatives and provide customizable open-source mobile wallets for simple use cases. In addition, the Brazilian market's characteristics will be taken into consideration. All results will be made open. (AU)
