Backgound:

The eIDAS Regulation enables the use of electronic identification and trust services by citizens, businesses and public administrations, to access online services or manage electronic transactions. It establishes a stable legal framework across Europe for five types of trust services, namely electronic signatures, electronic seals, electronic time stamps, electronic registered delivery services and website authentication certificates.

ENISA has contributed since 2013 to supporting the EC on the implementation of the eIDAS Regulation by providing security recommendations for a correct implementation of trust services, mapping technical and regulatory requirements, promoting the deployment of qualified trust services in Europe, raising awareness for relying parties and end users on to secure their electronic transactions using trust services, etc.

Specifically, the Agency has produced studies in the areas of:

• Minimum security measures and good security practices for trust services providers
• Common audit schemes for trust services providers in Member States
• Analysis of standards related to TSPs and mapping them to the requirements of the eIDAS Regulation
• Recommendations for the introduction on the market of qualified website authentication certificates
• Mechanisms for reporting security breaches by the trust service providers to the competent bodies

Trust Services Forum 2015

In 2015, ENISA conducted, in collaboration with the European Commission eIDAS Task Force, the first edition of the Trust Services Forum. The objective of the workshop was to provide a space to exchange ideas for the stakeholder communities in the qualified trust service market. Following the success of this event and the feedback received from participants, the Trust Services Forum was established as a periodic event, providing an annual occasion to discuss for the communities closely related to the eIDAS Regulation, namely, Trust Service Providers, Conformity Assessment Bodies and Supervisory Authorities.
