The Core of Secure Cross-Border Transactions & Digital Identity

To build trust in the online environment, the EU adopted in 2014 The Electronic Identification and Trust Services Regulation (eIDAS). Designed to enhance the security, efficiency, and consistency of electronic interactions, this regulation enables individuals, businesses, and public entities to engage confidently in digital transactions across EU member states.

While eIDAS Regulation has delivered numerous benefits, it has also faced certain challenges. With eIDAS 2.0, the EU aims to strengthen the security of digital transactions, improve interoperability, and promote cohesion across the EU market, addressing the needs of businesses and citizens.
