eIDAS Regulation (Electronic IDentification, Authentication and trust Services)

The eIDAS Regulation is a European rule that creates a standard for recognizing electronic identification, signatures, and trust services across EU countries. It ensures that digital IDs and signatures are secure, reliable, and accepted everywhere in the EU, making online transactions and digital legal processes safe and trustworthy. Essentially, eIDAS acts as a unified framework that facilitates secure digital interactions between individuals, businesses, and governments, promoting seamless cross-border electronic services and reducing the need for multiple different protocols.
