eIDAS-Node version 1.0
This page collects the resources for the eIDAS-Node version 1.0, released in November 2015.
Description
Following the publication of the technical specifications 1.0 for the eIDAS interoperability framework, the DIGITAL eID team is pleased to announce the release of a sample implementation of these technical specifications.
In January, the Cooperation Network of Member States, set up by the Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/296, has adopted the opinion n.1/2016 where it states that this version of the technical specifications "is workable and corresponds to the needs to provide further details on technical requirements set out by the Commission implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1501 on the interoperability framework".
Member States may implement this version directly, or use it as a sample when testing other implementations of the technical specifications.
Release 1.0 of the eIDAS sample implementation for Member States is an all-in-one package for the Java platform including binary distributions for Glassfish, JBoss, Tomcat, WebLogic, WebSphere and the source code (Maven project).
The next and subsequent releases will be timed in accordance with the release schedule as part of the operational management of the eID building block.
With each re-release, the DIGITAL eID Team is striving to improve a users' DIGITAL eID experience. In a future release, DIGITAL Digital therefore intends to provide a major architectural improvement involving the Specific module. The Specific module is inherited from the STORK PEPS Pilot 1 application and provides a sample implementation of a Member State Specific module to customise the communication between the Identity Provider and the eIDAS Node Proxy Service. These improvements will provide abstraction and a correct placeholder for Member States specific implementation, remove dependencies and further extend the scope of the Specific module. More details on these improvements can be found in the release notes (see below).
