eIDAS 2.0 and Keycloak: Enabling Verifiable Credentials in Practice

 

The introduction of eIDAS 2.0 marks a significant shift in how digital identity is handled across the European Union. 

Modern identity platforms like Keycloak are beginning to align with this vision through emerging standards such as OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance (OID4VCI).

Seamless adoption

The combination of eIDAS 2.0 and Keycloak enables:

  • Reduced reliance on centralized identity checks
  • Privacy-first data sharing (selective disclosure)
  • Cross-border digital services
  • Reuse of existing IAM investments

Organizations already using Keycloak can incrementally adopt verifiable credentials instead of replacing their identity stack.
