Confidentiality in Corporate Digital Identity

The episode examines the urgent transformation of corporate digital identity and confidentiality in light of Europe’s move toward eIDAS 2.0 legal person wallets. The discussion challenges traditional, document-based company verification models, exposing their inability to guarantee truth, reveal beneficial ownership, or prevent large-scale failures. Key themes include the use of cryptographic verification and selective disclosure to enable cross-border trust without unnecessary data exposure, the balance between corporate confidentiality and transparency, and the potential of reusable, decentralised trust mechanisms to replace today’s fragile, paper-driven systems with a more resilient digital foundation.
