The aim of eIDAS (electronic IDentification, Authentication and trust Services) is to spur digital growth within the EU. By creating standards to be eIDAS compliant for eIDAS electronic signatures, eIDAS advanced electronic signature, qualified digital certificates, electronic seals, time-stamps and other proof for authentication mechanisms, eIDAS enable electronic transactions with the same legal standing as transactions performed on paper.
eIDAS and Trust Service Providers The eIDAS regulation has created an internal market area for trust services within Europe. Trust service providers (TSPs) are the companies or organization, that provides third-party trust services in the form of certificate issuance, signatures and authentication. The eIDAS regulation specifies the requirements that any public TSP operating within the EU must meet. This ensures the entire EU is operating using the same set of standards for certificate trustworthiness. eIDAS also introduces the concept of qualification for TSPs, where all TSPs across the EU must adhere to some basic requirements which are audited periodically at least every 24 months.
