Articles - De eIDAS-verordening heeft een juridisch kader geïntroduceerd dat de betrouwbaarheid en acceptatie van elektronische transacties binnen de EU moet vergroten. Hiervoor wordt een gelijk speelveld beoogd waarin burgers en bedrijven binnen de EU met hun eigen nationale elektronische ID zich ook digitaal kunnen identificeren bij openbare instanties uit andere lidstaten. Daartoe worden uniforme eisen gesteld aan de betrouwbaarheidsniveaus van deze elektronische ID’s.
