The evolution of digital identity is having an increasing impact on the payments sector, as it is no longer limited to functioning solely as an authentication tool, but is instead assuming the role of an infrastructural element capable of enabling new services and business models.
Professor Finocchiaro will address these issues at the event organised by the Italian Banking Association (ABI), which represents an important opportunity for discussion on the new European framework for digital identity, with particular focus on the role of the EUDI Wallet and the main implications of the eIDAS2 framework for the payments sector and the financial industry.

How can innovation, public order, and the protection of fundamental freedoms be balanced? While digital transformation offers innovative tools to strengthen prevention, enhance the effectiveness of public action, and improve security systems, it also makes the definition of rules, responsibilities, and limits in the exercise of power increasingly complex.
Professor Finocchiaro will address these issues at the conference “Governing Digital Security: Policies, Public Order, and Development”, organized by COISP as part of its 9th National Congress.

The ongoing digital transformation of legal and economic relations requires increasingly careful consideration of electronic identification mechanisms and the safeguards governing online transactions. In this context, the European regulatory framework, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 (eIDAS 2), aims to strengthen the digital identity system and expand the scope of trust services, in order to ensure greater security, reliability and interoperability within the internal market. Against this background, what are the key legal and operational implications of this evolving regulatory framework? And what challenges does its practical implementation pose for professionals, businesses and public administrations? These issues will be at the core of the conference “Digital Identity and Trust Services”, which will provide a valuable opportunity for in-depth discussion and will feature, among its speakers, Professor Finocchiaro together with other representatives from the academic, professional and institutional fields.
