27 July 2022, 12:00 AM-13:00 PM

Avv. Laura Greco will be the speaker of the webinar “L’evoluzione normativa in materia di identificazione elettronica: la revisione di e-idas e il sistema di gestione deleghe”, organized by the Observatory Digital Identity, one of the Observatories on Digital Innovation of the Politecnico di Milano’s School of Management.
During the webinar, Avv. Greco will illustrate the evolution of the legal  framework on electronic identification, delving into the model law developed by the UNCITRAL Working Group on Electronic Commerce, the proposal for a Regulation amending Reg. e-IDAS and the Italian “sistema di gestione deleghe”. 

The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) adopted the “Model Law on the Use and Cross-border Recognition on Identity Management and Trust Services,” a model law developed by the Working Group IV – Electronic Commerce, chaired by Professor Giusella Finocchiaro since 2014.
The model law is the first text that addresses on an international level the issue of digital identity and is the fruit of the seeds that were sown more than ten years ago, as work on identity management and trust services has first been proposed in New York. Since then, it has become evident that this matter lies at the core of the digital economy and the model law may be used to facilitate interaction between existing and future regional models and schemes.
Since Professor Finocchiaro is the Chairwoman of the Working Group IV – Electronic Commerce, two other projects have already been adopted: the Notes on the Main Issues of Cloud Computing Contract and the Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records, endorsed by G7 and adopted in many countries, the European States included.
