How Tamga works
eIDAS 2.0 and the EUDI Wallet
Tamga follows the same standards as Europe’s digital identity framework. To see where Tamga stands, it helps to know how that framework works.
eIDAS 2.0 — the framework
eIDAS (electronic IDentification, Authentication and trust Services) is the European Union’s regulation on electronic identity and trust services. eIDAS 2.0 requires every member state to offer its citizens and businesses a digital identity wallet, and defines how institutions issue and verify credentials in it.
The EUDI Wallet
The European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet) is the wallet in which a person carries their identity, diplomas, driving licence and other credentials on their own phone and presents them selectively. “EUDI Wallet” is a legal title: it belongs to wallets that an EU member state provides or recognises and that are certified under EU rules.
Trust lists — how a wallet knows who is real
The European Commission publishes a list of trusted lists (LOTL). It points to each member state’s trusted list, signed by that state. The national lists name who may issue person identity data (PID providers), which wallet providers are approved, and who registers the organisations that ask for data. A wallet or verifier trusts one key — the LOTL’s — and learns everything else from the signed lists. Details: trust lists.
Where Tamga stands
- EU-compatible base. Tamga credentials (SD-JWT VC, ISO mdoc), protocols (OpenID4VCI / OpenID4VP, HAIP) and signed trust lists follow these standards.
- Tamga Network — a federation for the Turkic world. Like the Commission’s LOTL, Tamga’s list of lists points to each state’s trust list. Today Tamga publishes Türkiye’s list provisionally, on behalf of the state.
- Tamga Wallet — an EU-compatible wallet. Outside the EU no wallet can carry the “EUDI Wallet” title; Tamga Wallet speaks the same standards and will show it with interoperability tests.
Every role in the EU model and who holds it in Tamga today: roles and terms.
