Friday 1 July 2016 11:10 CET | News

FutureTrust has announced that it is actively supporting the implementation of eIDAS Regulation which comes into effect across all 28 EU Member States today, replacing the eSignature Directive.

Under the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (Horizon 2020), FutureTrust aims to ease the utilisation of eID and trust services, paving the way for global interoperability of trustworthy and legally significant electronic services.

Prof. Dr. Jörg Schwenk, coordinator of the FutureTrust project, states that the eIDAS Regulation marks a major milestone for trust services and the progress towards a digital single market for Europe. He added that FutureTrust seeks to support eIDAS by demonstrating the positive business cases for the reliance on electronic signatures, sealing services, the long-term authenticity of data and documents and all with a focus on accountability, transparency, usability and security.

The Belgium-based independent think tank, EEMA, is charged with the dissemination of information relating to the FutureTrust project across EU Member States and building an open community of people interested in eIDAS related matters.
