Welcome to the latest edition of the CEF Building Blocks Bulletin.

The Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) eDelivery building block has reached a decisive landmark, as the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) approves its secure message exchange protocol, AS4, as an international standard. Another landmark was reached in the area of trust and authentication services, as the eSignature team ran a successful pilot demonstrating how to implement Qualified Web Authentication Certificates, or QWACs. QWACs provide trusted information about the identity of the persons or legal entity behind a website, so users can browse with confidence. 

In this edition, we look at how Digdir, the Norwegian Digitalisation Agency, has started using CEF Big Data Test Infrastructure. BDTI is the third CEF Building Block implemented by Digdir and helps various organisations in the value chain optimise public procurement.

In addition, recordings and presentations are now available for both the Digital Innovation Hubs webinar and the 2020-2 CEF Telecom Virtual Info Day.
