eIDAS Interactive Tool: Test eID and Trust Services in a Simulated Environment

Does your organisation want to test eID and trust service solutions before making an investment? Would you like to fully understand the business benefits for your organisation?

The eIDAS Interactive Tool allows businesses to test eID and trust services solutions in a simulated environment, providing information on the benefits of using such solutions through real life business applications in the financial services, online retail, transport and professional services sectors. The tool shows SMEs how eID and trust services can be incorporated into day to day operations to increase the efficiency and security of your business and to improve user experience.

The interactive tool is designed in such a way that the user can enter either via sector or by choosing the eID or trust service that they would like to test out. The user is then shown the different applications for the eID and trust services through example scenarios for different industries. The interactive tool also provides information on where the user can go to receive further information on how to implement these solutions, along with links to other useful resources from the eIDAS Toolkit for SMEs. These resources have been designed to help businesses in Europe understand the benefits of eID and trust services and include a quickstart guidebook, an eIDAS checklist , a video explaining eIDAS in under 3 minutes , eIDAS sector-specific information including infographics and a cutting-edge webinar programme.


The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) eID Building Block supports the Member States in the roll-out of the eIDAS Network (the technical infrastructure which connects national eID schemes). Service Providers (public administrations and private sector organisations) may then connect their services to this network, making these services accessible across borders and allowing them to enjoy the legal recognition brought by eIDAS.

The CEF eSignature Building Block supports the use of cross-border interoperable electronic signatures in Europe. This means, for example, that a Greek entrepreneur can sign a permit application in Helsinki and expect it to be recognized by public authorities in Dublin.

The CEF Building Blocks (CEF eArchiving, Context Broker, Big Data Test Infrastructure, eDelivery, eID, eInvoicing, eSignature and eTranslation) help teams across Europe deliver digital public services faster, comply with regulation and make the digital single market a reality.
