As it will not be feasible in practice to certify the secure elements of all smartphones in the market as Qualified Signature Creation Device (QSCD), one needs to look at remote signature solutions along the lines of ETSI TS 119 432 and the specification developed within the Cloud Signature Consortium (CSC) . The Architecture and Reference Framework (ARF) makes it clear that the EUDIW will support Verifiable Credentials (VCs) for the purpose of strong identification and authentication and the only missing step to enable QES in the EUDIW seems to be the integration of Verifiable Credentials and Verifiable Presentations according to W3C with the remote signature protocol of the CSC-API. The present paper shows how to integrate the two worlds to enable QES in the EUDIW using emerging standards, such as Selective Disclosure JSON Web Tokens (SD-JWT) and OpenID for Verifiable Presentations (OID4VP).enLedger TechnologiesBlockchainPermissioned LedgerEthereumQualified Electronic Signatures with the EU Digital Identity WalletText/Conference Paper10.18420/OID2024_131617-5468
