Q&A SESSION TITOLO DIAPOSITIVA SOTTOTITOLO
Q&A Session Can a citizen of a Member State be identified by a QTSP accredited in a different Member State in accordance with the identification methods listed in the CPS and receive a qualified certificate? Can he use this certificate in his/her Member State with full legal validity of the signed documents Yes, this is possible. If a citizen is identified in accordance to the procedures listed in the CPS of the QTSP, and these procedures are recognized valid ones in the accreditation process bytitolo the national DIAPOSITIVA supervisory body, the citizen can receive a qualified certificate and, as provided in thesottotitolo eidas Regulation, this certificate is recognized as a qualified certificate anywhere in Europe. In this regard, Article 24 provides that QTSP shall verify the identity of the natural or legal person to whom the qualified certificate is issued in accordance to the national law applicable in the Member State where the QTSP is accredited and from where it may offer qualified services to clients everywhere in Europe. Andrea Servida Head of Unit egovernment and Trust at DG CONNECT, European Commission
Q&A Session How and where can a user of a digitally signed document, for example a Fiscal Authority, verify if a Trust Service Provider is certified to provide trust services? The information that a Trust Service Provider is a QTSP is already stated in a valid certificate. In addition, to verify if this is trustworthy information, the authoritative sources to be used are the Trusted Lists (article 17) where the Qualified Trust Service Providers are listed under the responsibility of the national supervisory body granting the status of QTSP. TITOLO DIAPOSITIVA SOTTOTITOLO Andrea Servida Head of Unit egovernment and Trust at DG CONNECT, European Commission
Q&A Session Does a public authority of a Member State, for example a Fiscal or Administrative Authority, need an explicit consent from the local Supervisory Body to accept a qualified certificate issued by another Member State QTSP? The answer is no. If a public authority is accepting at national level advanced electronic signatures, under the eidas Regulation it is obliged (Article 27) to accept electronic signature of the same or higher security level (i.e. up to qualified signatures), disregarding TITOLO DIAPOSITIVA SOTTOTITOLO whether such signatures are generated based on certificates or signature creation services provided in another Member State. This is particularly true for qualified electronic signatures. The Supervisory Body in the receiving Member States plays no role in this regard. Andrea Servida Head of Unit egovernment and Trust at DG CONNECT, European Commission
Q&A Session Can any Member State Supervisory Body or Parliament issue a law, a guideline or any other measure which may affect a different Member State QTSP only because the latter is issuing a qualified certificate in a cross-border situation? No, eidas Regulation defines the legal framework for qualified trust services and qualified trust service providers. At the national level no legal act or administrative measure can be enacted or adopted to change the scope and validity of the provisions in eidas Regulation. TITOLO DIAPOSITIVA SOTTOTITOLO If that will be the case, there will be incompatibility between the European primary law (i.e. eidas Regulation) and, as provided under the Treaties, the national law will be invalid. Andrea Servida Head of Unit egovernment and Trust at DG CONNECT, European Commission
Q&A Session Does eidas Regulation forbid remote identification to issue qualified trust services? Can a local Conformity Assessment Body or Supervisory Body approve it? eidas Regulation doesn t forbid remote identification. Qualified trust service providers can identify a person to whom they issue a certificate using a remote identification methods (for instance based on eid means that meets the requirements of Article 8) as long as such methods and the related procedures are recognized at national level and complies with the TITOLO DIAPOSITIVA SOTTOTITOLO eidas Regulation, i.e. they provide equivalent assurance (confirmed by a conformity assessment body) in terms of reliability to physical presence. Andrea Servida Head of Unit egovernment and Trust at DG CONNECT, European Commission
Q&A Session A QTSP can identify a citizen to issue a qualified certificate with a notified or prenotified eid with a level of assurance substantial, or just the level high is allowed? In accordance with article 24 of the Regulation, when issuing a qualified certificate, a qualified trust service provider shall verify, by appropriate means and in accordance with national law, the identity of the person to whom the qualified certificate is issued. To this end, Art 24.1(b) sets out that electronic identification mean notified under eidas can be TITOLO DIAPOSITIVA SOTTOTITOLO used for remote verification provided that they meet the requirements set out in Article 8 with regard to the substantial or high level. Andrea Servida Head of Unit egovernment and Trust at DG CONNECT, European Commission
Q&A Session Can a bank or another subject different from a QTSP keep the private keys associated to the qualified certificates of their customers, in an HSM system installed on the bank s premises? Annex II of the Regulation sets out the requirements for qualified electronic signature creation devices, including HSM, that may be used to create qualified electronic signatures. Point 3 of the Annex states that the generation or management of electronic signature creation data on behalf of the signatory may only be done by a qualified trust service provider. TITOLO DIAPOSITIVA SOTTOTITOLO Andrea Servida Head of Unit egovernment and Trust at DG CONNECT, European Commission
Q&A Session Why do you think that the supervisory body in the UK has still not published the processes for CABs? Although I'm not sure that the question relates to one of the tasks of the supervisory bodies as set out in the eidas Regulation, it is definitely a question for the UK authority. Andrea Servida Head of Unit egovernment and Trust at DG CONNECT, European Commission TITOLO DIAPOSITIVA SOTTOTITOLO
Q&A Session Given the global audience and interest for non-eu nation states with strong links to the EU, is it possible for the Regulation that non-eu schemes are notified by an EU MS? What advice would you give? Member States remain free to decide which electronic means may be introduced or recognized at national level for the purpose of electronic identification for accessing on line public services. It is their sole sovereign decision. However, when it comes to cross border recognition of eid means the provisions under eidas Regulation apply, in particular the TITOLO DIAPOSITIVA SOTTOTITOLO eligibility criteria for notification as set in Article 7. Andrea Servida Head of Unit egovernment and Trust at DG CONNECT, European Commission
Q&A Session Spain normally accepts 5 different means of e-authentication: ID card, e-certificate, permanent password, temporary SMS password and STORK / eidas, using Cl@ve, a mandatory common service for authentication. You quickly mentioned that the different means of electronic ID acceptable for a transaction are defined by each member state. This means that probably not all authentication methods will work across borders. How does this work in terms of interoperability and how does it affect the eidas objective of seamless authentication? What consequences may this have for member states that will need to support a growing number of authentication methods? TITOLO DIAPOSITIVA SOTTOTITOLO Once again, Member States are free to decide which electronic means may be used at national level for the purpose of electronic identification for accessing on line public services. However, only eid schemes and associated means notified under eidas will be recognized (as of 29 September 2018) across borders in all Member States. Such notified eid schemes will be interoperable as, among others, they will comply with the criteria and requirements of the interoperability framework set in the eidas Regulation and related Implementing Act. Andrea Servida Head of Unit egovernment and Trust at DG CONNECT, European Commission
Q&A Session Which are the main differences between European landscape and the rest of the world in the area of digital trust? The main difference is simply that the US has settled upon a type of signature based on multiple authentication aspects, not based on the certificate, even if in some of the elements could seem bound to the European concept of advanced signature. US signature is based especially on knowledge-based authentication, and even biometrics is growing in TITOLO DIAPOSITIVA SOTTOTITOLO importance (voice printing, facial biometrics). This approach made possible a really rapid market progress, but is more focused on customer experience, and not much on trust. Craig Le Clair Vice President, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research
Q&A Session How do you see the future of QTSP market in Europe? Nowadays, there are more than 170 QTSP in Europe, most of them small-sized. This made sense before eidas, because each country had a specific regulation. I believe that the market will be consolidated and in the end, will have a small number of big players, providing innovation and better solutions to the market. TITOLO DIAPOSITIVA SOTTOTITOLO Carmine Auletta Chief Innovation Officer at InfoCert
Q&A Session How should discontinuity be handled in a multi-sided contract environment? For example: three companies want to sign a contract, each company needs two signatures to validly sign, so we need six signatures. The first two use qualified electronic signature, the next wants to sign by hand, and uploads the scanned document, the next signs electronically, the next by hand... How can be generated a single document with all electronic signatures (still able to validate electronically) and all manual signatures as well on it? The most TITOLO effective DIAPOSITIVA approach in a multi-sided contract environment is to decide whether the process has tosottotitolo be fully digital or analogic. It s not recommended to mix digital and wet signature, because the act of printing and scanning documents creates a discontinuity in the trust chain that can impact on its formal validity as well as create vulnerabilities. In complex cases like the one described, the best approach would be to design the entire signing process and validate it against legal, functional and organizational requirements.
