eIDAS (Electronic Identification and Trust Services)

eIDAS, or the Electronic Identification and Trust Services Regulation, is a European Union framework that ensures secure electronic transactions across member states. It establishes standards for electronic identification, making it easier for individuals and businesses to access online services, such as banking or government applications, with confidence. eIDAS also outlines provisions for trust services, like electronic signatures and seals, ensuring their legal validity across Europe. This regulation enhances digital trust, fostering smoother cross-border interactions in the digital economy while protecting users’ privacy and security.
