Services that underpin electronic transactions
Trust services support the authenticity, integrity, timing and delivery of electronic transactions. They contribute to the confidence users and relying parties can place in the systems around signatures, seals and digital credentials.
The eIDAS framework covers a range of trust services, including certificates for electronic signatures and seals, electronic time stamps, website authentication certificates and electronic registered delivery services. The precise regulatory and standards position depends on the service and jurisdiction.
The assurance context matters
Policy
The rules, participants, commitments and operating model need to be explicit.
Standards
Relevant ETSI and other standards can provide recognised technical and assurance requirements.
Architecture
Services, credentials, applications and validation processes must work together as a coherent system.
Advice across the service lifecycle
TrustAssert has experience with trust services, public key infrastructure (PKI), associated standards and eIDAS. Support can focus on understanding a service, developing one, adopting an external service or reviewing how the pieces fit together.
