Abstract
This paper presents a literature review that has the main goal to examine what are the factors that are affecting eID public acceptance. We are specifically interested in the perspectives of end-users and the matter of their attitudes towards eID. Our search yielded a rather narrow but concrete range of sources. Among the main themes of interest presented in the literature, we identify factors that are further synthesized in twelve categories. Moreover, we interpret the factors in their original context which allows for understanding which of the factors are mentioned as either drivers, barriers, or both. Based on the analysis of scientific narratives, we point to disparities detected in the existing knowledge of influential factors of eID public acceptance and outline areas that require further research.
