About the Digital Identity Under eIDAS Course
The eIDAS regulation, which introduces a new, EU-wide legal framework for electronic identification (eID) and trust services, has great potential for individuals, businesses, and Member States.
The implementation of national eID schemes by Member States offers the possibility of an EU-wide framework for eID. These schemes enable citizens accessing public services to use their eID. This is potentially applicable to public services provided by any Member State for all EU citizens.
This framework provides consistency and conformity within the EU Member States in relation to trust services while enabling and motivating the legally predictable application of such services by businesses. The regulation offers the conditions for recognizing simple, advanced and qualified trust services. Also, eIDAS offers the supervisory measures and standards of trust services.
Additionally, there is a lot of opportunity for private firms to use eIDschemes in the future.
This training programme is designed to examine the eIDAS regulation and explore the different types of electronic signatures. The course motivates participants to appreciate the impact of eIDAS on individuals, businesses and EU Member States.
