How to implement or operate an eIDAS-Node
Overview
This section is intended to provide eIDAS-Node implementers and operators with a view on the high-level process of setting up and maintaining an eIDAS-Node. It will also give an indication of which, where and how DIGITAL eID services are available to support the process.

The general steps are as follows:
Assess
Study the eIDAS eID Profile technical specifications to ensure that you have the correct understanding of what is required to build an eIDAS-compliant Node.
Build
Implement a Node that can either request (via an eIDAS-Node Connector) or provide (via an eIDAS-Node Proxy Service) cross-border authentication.
Test
Ensure that the implementation is compliant with the technical specifications.
Operate
Deploy and run the eIDAS-Node, and connect new Service and Identity Providers on an ongoing basis.
While this section provides an overview, if you are involved in the implementation or operation of a Node, make sure to join the eIDAS eID Implementation community for more information, resources and the opportunity to collaborate with your peers in other countries.
