e-Identity: A Step Forward to European Digital Citizenship

This research focuses on the innovations and fields to explore in concordance with a common approach to e-governance in the European Union regarding ID card, Mobile IDs, e-Residency card, and Smart IDs. These elements will create a deeper concept of common identity among European citizens and a stronger link between the citizens and the organization of Europe. These tools together will contribute to dissemination and implementation of the concept of common e-identity among the European Union citizens, as their current status will be upgraded with the inclusions of these technological novelties on their common rights.
