The eIDAS certification refers to the certification framework established by the European Union's Electronic Identification, Authentication, and Trust Services (eIDAS) Regulations. eIDAS is a regulation that sets standards for electronic identification and trust services within the EU. It promotes the use of electronic identification (eID) and trust services, such as electronic signatures, electronic seals, electronic time stamps and electronic registered delivery services.
The UK eIDAS Regulations are an amendment form of the EU eIDAS Regulation and retain many aspects of the EU Regulation but are tailored for use within the UK.
