What is PD CEN/TR 419010 - eIDAS for electronic signature about?
The regulation on electronic identification and trusted e-Services (eIDAS regulation) clearly extends the current Electronic Signature Directive from electronic signature towards electronic identification and electronic authentication.
PD CEN/TR 419010 focuses on electronic signature context, and wider to electronic transactions in the internal market. There are many documents, standards, industrial initiatives and European projects on identification and authentication, but the scope in PD CEN/TR 419010 is limited to electronic signature context and wider to electronic transactions in the internal market.
PD CEN/TR 419010 covers the needs by making requirements for the use of TLS and associated cipher suites to secure the transport layer of the communication between the citizen’s browser and the eIDAS nodes.
