Anonyome Labs will co-present a paper with Australia’s Queensland University of Technology (QUT) at the 8th Symposium on Distributed Ledger Technology in Brisbane, Australia from November 28–29, 2024.
The paper, by Dr Paul Ashley, Ellen Schofield and George Mulhearn from Anonyome Labs, and Dr Gowri Ramachandran from QUT, considers how new European standards for the EU Digital Identity Wallet mandate support for a hardware security module (HSM) which can perform important cryptographic operations for very strong security and privacy protection for a user.
The paper outlines how an existing digital identity wallet can be enhanced to leverage an HSM, examining both inbuilt and external implementations, and presents a compatible matrix by analyzing the existing credential standards and different HSM cryptographic capabilities.

The paper concludes that supporting the EU DI Wallet technical Architecture and Reference Framework (ARF)—common standards and technical specifications and common guidelines and best practices for a Digital Identity Framework—is feasible and practical for mobile digital identity wallet applications, but tradeoffs will occur in algorithmic compatibility, user experience, and performance.
We will publish the full paper after the symposium.
Anonyome Labs is a sponsor of the 8th Symposium on Distributed Ledger Technology. See the symposium program for more information.
Distributed ledger technology is an emerging technology, which provides the way to store and manage information in a distributed fashion. It enables the creation of decentralized crypto-currencies, smart contracts, eGovernance, supply chain management, eVoting and so on, over a network of computer systems without any human intervention.
Unprecedented reliability and security over other cryptographic schemes has expanded the application domains of blockchain including financial services, real estate, stock exchange, identity management, supply chain, and Internet of Things.
The symposium is a forum for researchers, business leaders and policy makers in this area to carefully analyze current systems or propose new solutions creating a scientific background for a solid development of innovative distributed ledger technology applications.
