Research on User Experience for Digital Identity Wallets

Digital identity wallets are central components for Decentralised and Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) approaches. They are the interface for users to manage their identities and gain access to services. Hence, the usability and user experience of these wallets is pivotal for the adoption of those popular and privacy friendly identity management concepts. As research on the user experience of wallets is still in its infancy, this paper aims to provide a first overview of recent research – published and from completed and ongoing research projects. Findings are summarized and recommendations for developers are derived.
