Legal Person Identity First: The EBW as the Cornerstone of Europe’s Digital Sovereignty A Strategic Interpretation of Merz’s EuroStack and Why the European Business Wallet (EBW) Is the Decisive Component

Europe's Digital Sovereignty is an illusion without a unified Legal Person Identity layer.

The European Business Wallet (#EBW) is the must-win cornerstone to anchor the #EuroStack—or Big Tech wins control.

The #EUBW is a make-or-break moment for Europe’s digital economy.

If we get it right → straight-through compliance, Industry 4.0 trust, secure data spaces, trusted AI.

If we get it wrong → another decade of fragmentation.

🌍 Digital Identity Trust Diplomacy

China builds control through the Digital Silk Road.
US Big Tech rules by platform dominance.
Europe still has one card to play: trust.

eIDAS 2.0 | EUBW → a law-anchored identity layer for global trade, AI & Industry 4.0.

Whoever defines trust, defines the rules.

Most of the business manages I talk to say: Quantum Threat? This is tech talk. We have plenty of time.

This attitude is super irresponsible.

As threat actors are already conducting systematic HNDL operations since years, their time has already come.

TIME is on the side of our adversaries.

We also did a Harvest Now Decrypt Later (HNDL) analysis about what Nation State Actors and Organised Cyber Criminals are doing. It is just super terrifying.

Countdown to Quantum Threat: Upgrade Your Digital Identity With A PQC-ready European Business… Post-Quantum Cryptography for Supply Chain, Industry 4.0, Data Spaces and Critical Infrastructure: Risks, Readiness, and Roadmaps

There is a Taliban Proverb:

You have the [outdated] watches, we have the time.

Means Taliban have the endurance to outlast the US troops. What they did.

Wrt to the quantum threat this proverb is even much more to the point.

Cyber Storm Rising — Designing for the Warzone Building Digital Sovereignty & Resilience Before AI and Cyber Warfare Strike — Why embracing true decentralization, zero-trust security…

🚩 “Cyberwar isn’t hypothetical—it’s here.” Our critical systems face daily threats. Building resilience isn’t optional—it’s imperative. Read my call-to-action on designing infrastructure for the cyber warzone:
🔗 medium.com/@cstoecker/c...

📢 Claudia Plattner from Germany’s BSI says: Digital sovereignty is crucial—not just desirable. Building resilient, sovereign digital infrastructure is economically smart and strategically necessary.

🛡️ From hybrid warfare tactics to looming quantum threats, cybersecurity denial mirrors climate pragmatism: short-term gains lead to catastrophic losses. We must shift our mindset—urgently.

⚠️ Centralized digital infrastructure isn’t just risky—it’s dangerous. A single breach can cost billions. Decentralization and “Never Trust, Always Verify” principles aren’t idealistic—they’re survival strategies.

🌐 We’re already in a cyber war. AI-driven attacks, state-sponsored sabotage, and centralized vulnerabilities threaten our digital world. Why must we urgently build resilient systems now? My new article explores why:
