Introduction

eIDAS study on pilots for replication of multipliers 7

Why do we need Trust Services ?

• Fear
• Uncertainty
• Doubt

Why do we need Trust Services ?

• Fear of technology failure

• Uncertainty over security
• Doubt over commercial
governance

Why do we need eIDAS Trust Services ?

• There is no obligation for the Private Sector to

adopt eIDAS, but its use between counterparties
in any form of transaction reduces risk.

eIDAS study on pilots for replication of multipliers 10

Why are they so complicated?

• The European Union is made up of 27+ Member States, each with

their own priorities, political drivers and cultural background. This
extends to their views on privacy, data protection and the relationship
between Citizens and State.
• Each Member State has its own types of eIDs, citizenship registry
records, etc.
• Contrary to public perception, there are only a few issues where the
European Union can legislate directly for actions in Member States.
• eIDAS is a regulation which applies to all Member States but respects
each Member State’s preferences.

How do we improve adoption of eIDAS in private sector SMEs?

• It is appreciated that every industry has its own needs, and SMEs in
particular do not always have the resources to implement the
solutions.
• In reality eIDAS is split up into two sections: eID and Trusted Services.
• This second Webinar in the series is aimed at the general use of eIDAS
eID services and how they can benefit the SME.
• The next, and third Webinar will address the use of Trust Services in
detail.
