Identity & Single Sign on Solutions

Electronic Identification, Authentication and Assurance Services (eIDAS eID). These services aim at the mutual recognition of national electronic identification (eID) systems (including smart cards, mobile and electronic logins), allowing citizens of one European country to use their eID to securely access electronic services provided in other European Member States.

The mutual recognition of eID data across Europe is mandated by the eIDAS Regulation. The Regulation specifies that all electronic public services requiring electronic identification assurance (corresponding to the “essential” or “high” level) must be able to accept eID data provided by other European Member States.

The National Electronic Identity System (NETAIS) operates on the basis of the European Commission’s eIDAS eID infrastructure, which allows authentication using the eIDAS protocol.
