eIDAS Assurance Levels

eIDAS (electronic IDentification, Authentication and trust Services) is a European regulation that establishes standards for digital identities and trust services. It defines three assurance levels for electronic identification: 1. **Low**: Basic identity verification; suitable for non-sensitive transactions. 2. **Substantial**: More rigorous checks, requiring a stronger verification of identity; appropriate for moderate-risk transactions. 3. **High**: The most secure level, requiring stringent identity verification and additional safeguards; ideal for critical transactions like banking or signing legal documents. These levels help ensure that online identities are trusted and secure, catering to various security needs.
