Developments of Identification and Trust Services in Public Administration through eIDAS
Keywords:
eIDAS, Public Administration, Identification and Trust ServicesAbstract
From July 1, 2016, the EU eSignatures Directive (1999/93/EC), was replaced by Regulation (EU) No. 910/2014 on electronic identification and trust services called the eIDAS regulation. eIDAS is the result of the European Union’s Digital Agenda aimed to drive digital growth in the Union. As an EU regulation, the eIDAS is directly applicable law in all twenty-eight EU member states and in the European Economic Area. eIDAS wants to ensure that secure electronic identification and authentication is possible for cross-border online services offered by member states and electronic signatures will have the same legal weight as their physical counterparts. The eIDAS regulation was adopted to facilitate seamless digital transactions for individuals, businesses, and public administrations across countries within the European Union in two areas: electronic identification services and trust services. The new regulation expected to foster a climate of trust when it comes to online and digital transactions in the EU.
