Introduction

The digital world and the internet are now a reality. For Pirates, it is a normal revolution, and as in a revolution some things are abolished and some other things come to take their place by replacing them.

Although the spread of the internet and the wide use of computers has about 2 decades to come, we have not yet seen anything but what they can offer to each of us. The generation that grows up with computers and with the almost daily use of communication that the internet offers will soon be found in things and it will require the freedom and the potentials it learned to grow and apply in their professional space. As citizens netizens (citizens of the internet) will not be able to tolerate or accept any reduction in the freedom they have grown, both in communication and in the daily use of the Internet, the internet, its capabilities and facilities will be an integral part of them.

Digital rights will be an integral part of the daily life of netizens, and they are already a big part of our lives today. And what is more obvious than to support the same thing in the digital world as for the analogue world (human, political and rights)? What is more natural than waiting for someone to be able to open someone and read a letter / letter that you have sent to a friend is the same for an e-mail or a letter in electronic form.

Μέρος αυτής της συνεχιζόμενης διαδικασίας ψηφιοποίησης του κόσμου μας είναι και όλες οι διαδικασίες που υπάρχουν και συντελούνται στον αναλογικό κόσμο. Οι δημόσιες υπηρεσίες, το εμπόριο, οι διασυνοριακές συναλλαγές και όλα όσα υπάρχουν στο φυσικό κόσμο αποκτούν σιγά-σιγά και το /ψηφιακό τους αντίστοιχο. Η ταυτότητα γίνεται ψηφιακή ταυτότητα, το τιμολόγιο ή η απόδειξη πώλησης γίνεται ψηφιακό τιμολόγιο ή απόδειξη, το πιστοποιητικό γέννησης γίνεται ψηφιακό, η υπογραφή μας αποκτά και αυτή το ψηφιακό της αντίστοιχο… σιγά-σιγά κάθε αναλογικό μέσο που γνωρίζουμε και χρησιμοποιούμαι στην καθημερινότητά μας θα περάσει στον ψηφιακό κόσμο ή θα αποκτήσει το ψηφιακό του αντίστοιχο.

We have found articles and references from the European Union on digital identity cards and digital certification services, translated and cited them. Of course, there are dozens of other relevant information on the internet, and this is the power of the internet, the information available on a subject for information, knowledge, comparison and confrontation.

European Action Plan for eGovernment 2011-2015

(Republish with translation from: European Commission, Digital Agenda for Europe, A Europe 2020 Initiative, "European eGovernment Action Plan 2011-2015")

The eGovernment Action Plan aims to help national and European policy instruments work together, supporting the transition of eGovernment to a new generation of seamless, open, flexible and collaborative eGovernment services at local, regional, national and European level.

The European Commission's eGovernment Action Plan 2011-2015 Plan 2011-2015, [pdf file, 18 pages in Greek] supports the provision of a new generation of eGovernment services. It identifies four policy priorities based on the Malmö Declaration (Ministerial Declaration on eGovernment, adopted unanimously in Malmö, Sweden, on 18 November 2009), [pdf file, 6 pages in English], which are:

  • Empowering citizens and businesses
  • Enhancing mobility in the single market
  • Enable efficiency and effectiveness
  • Creating the necessary conditions and basic conditions to make things happen

The aim is to optimize the conditions for the development of cross-border eGovernment services provided to citizens and businesses, regardless of their country of origin. This includes developing an environment that promotes the interoperability of systems and basic tools such as electronic signature (eSignatures) and electronic identification (eIdentification). Services accessible throughout the EU, strengthening the digital single market and complementing existing legislation in areas such as electronic identification, e-procurement (eProcurement), eJustice, eHealth (eHealth), η κινητικότητα και η κοινωνική ασφάλιση, ενώ παράλληλα θα παρέχονται συγκεκριμένα οφέλη για τους πολίτες, τις επιχειρήσεις και τις κυβερνήσεις στην Ευρώπη. Η Επιτροπή θα δώσει το παράδειγμα για την περαιτέρω της ηλεκτρονικής διακυβέρνησης με την οργάνωση της ίδιας της λειτουργίας, εσωτερικά.

The goal is to increase the take-up of eGovernment services: the goal is that up to 2015, 50% of citizens and 80% of businesses should use eGovernment services.

A new action plan for eGovernment will launch 2016 as foreseen by the recently adopted Digital Single Market Strategy [pdf file, 3 pages in Greek]) in Europe.

Public Services

(Republish with translation from: European Commission, Digital Agenda for Europe, A Europe 2020 Initiative, "Public Services")

IdentityEGovernment uses digital tools and systems to deliver better public services to citizens and businesses.

Effective eGovernment can offer a wide variety of benefits, including greater efficiency and savings for governments and businesses, greater transparency and greater citizen participation in political life.

ICT is already widely used by government agencies, as is already the case in business, but eGovernment involves much more than simple tools. It also includes reviewing organizations and processes, and changing behavior so that public services are delivered more effectively to people. With the right implementation, eGovernment empowers citizens, businesses and organizations to carry out their transactions with the government more easily, faster and at a lower cost.

The potential cost savings are enormous. In Denmark, for example, e-invoicing saves from taxpayers € 150 million and from businesses € 50 million per year. If established across the EU, annual savings could exceed € 50b. Only in Italy, electronic public procurement systems have cut from the total cost over € 3bis.

Cross-border Digital Public Services enable the achievement of the Digital Single Market: in the European Union's internal market, people are able to move freely - whether for work or for personal reasons - and therefore must to be able and easily deal with public services outside their country.

ICT systems are currently at the center of government processes, but further efforts are needed to ensure that they continue to improve the provision of government services.

As part of its strategy, the European Commission is taking concrete measures to develop the cross-border provision of digital public services. These include, but are not limited to, the creation of European interoperable platforms, such as a common framework for the management of the electronic identity of citizens (eID) and the promotion of innovation through the Competitiveness and Innovation Program (funding in the Large Scale Pilot Projects, LSPs and in the Electronic Participation /eParticipation).

LSPs that are still running at this time:

  • e-SENS - moving services forward.
  • e-CODEX - delivering justice faster (video).
  • STORK 2.0 - making access smarter through a single European area of ​​electronic identification and identification (video).

and four completed:

  • epSOS - improving health care (video).
  • SPOCS (making it easier for the business) is over, and offers it Starter Kit of (video).
  • PEPPOL (eProcurement) has been transferred to the non-profit international association OpenPEPPOL AISBL for the preservation of structures and results (video).
  • STORK (making access smarter) has been completed, but the results are received at STORK 2.0.

These solutions shatter the digital borders in Europe many years after the removal of natural barriers.

e-Identification

(Republish with translation from: European Commission, Digital Agenda for Europe, A Europe 2020 Initiative, "e-Identification")

Electronic Identification (eID) is one of the tools to ensure secure access to e-services and to conduct online transactions in a safer way.

Secure electronic identification is an important catalyst for data protection and the prevention of electronic fraud. These aspects are of great importance in areas such as eGovernment, where citizens and businesses need to be confident that their data will be processed with full respect for existing data protection legislation.

The eID can guarantee undeniable identification of the person and make it possible for the service to be delivered to the person who is actually entitled to it. However, there is a lack of a common legal basis that is acceptable and exercised by each Member State to recognize and accept electronic identities issued in other Member States. The insufficient interoperability of cross-border national electronic identities does not allow citizens and businesses to benefit fully from the digital single market.

While existing gaps in technical and organizational interoperability can be addressed on the basis of the model that emerged from the ongoing "Large-Scale Pilot Project" for Electronic Identification (STORK), action needed to address the lack of a common legal basis for the cross-border mutual recognition of electronic identities remains necessary. In order to fill this gap, the Commission adopted on 4 June 2012 a proposal for electronic identification services and certification services for electronic transactions in the internal market (electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal marke COM (2012) 238), which provides the legal basis for the mutual recognition of electronic identities.

Unfolding eIDAS: how to fully benefit from the transformative nature of eID and e-certification services

(Republish with translation from: European Commission, Digital Single Market, DIGITAL4EU, "Rolling out eIDAS: how to fully benefit from the transformative nature of electronic identification (eID) and electronic trust services", Published by Andrea Servida on Wednesday, 22 / 07 / 2015)

The Digital Single Market Strategy http://ec.europa.eu/priorities/digital-single-market/ which has recently been adopted, opens up prospects for further promoting market digitization, exploiting the potential of new business models and unlocking the benefits of the various sectors of the European market while aiming at enhancing reliability and security in digital services. The unfolding of the eIDAS /eIDAS Regulation (on the mutual recognition of electronic identification and certification services) is an important step towards the achievement of the objectives of the ESDP: it provides a stable legal framework for electronic identification and certification - such as electronic signatures, seals, time stamps, registered online delivery services and web site certification - and will enable EU citizens, businesses and public administrations to gain confidence and convenience for digital traffic.

This is not something the Commission should do on its own. That is why, in addition to adopting the eIDAS regulation last year, we have organized a series of events to discuss with stakeholders how to ensure that the transformative nature of electronic identities and certification services could help each one of us:

  • Take full advantage of digitization and the most secure and innovative business processes
  • Να απολαύσει μια απρόσκοπτη, ασφαλή και άνετη εμπειρία χρήστη κατά την πρόσβαση του σε υπηρεσίες από τις ψηφιακές συσκευές ή από το ψηφιακό περιβάλλον
  • To have access to a greater number of cheaper and more transparent services offered on a well-functioning and more transparent market
  • Be able to choose freely and easily the services, providers and business models that meet their needs.

The first debates have highlighted that while the development of electronic identities and certification services could unleash enormous potential in all economic and social sectors (from banks to e-health and from social media to the economy sharing / sharing economy, etc.), a number of obstacles (eg legal, economic and interoperability-related) still exist and need to be addressed.

That's the reason we can't stop here. We need to focus on practical solutions, fresh ideas and think out-of-the-box. And we need your help to achieve this. Through this platform we welcome the companies and the opinions of the public authorities, in enriching the discussion and in proposing possible solutions. Based on the results and findings of the eIDAS events to date, we have identified the following areas of discussion - but of course you are welcome to suggest topics of your choice:

  • How can we secure it regulatory alignment specific legislation to facilitate digitization by activating the cross-border use of electronic identities and certification of services in areas such as banking, finance, payments, postal services, sharing, transport and e-commerce; ;
  • How can we achieve one common trust framework in which the provision of authentication and certification credentials will be central to ensuring uninterrupted user experience in security and with convenient access to electronic services via digital multiple access channels and a variety of devices / environments;
  • How can we support pan-European interoperability and adoption electronic identification and certification services in the whole public and private sectors, with emphasis on developing rules, emerging business models, simplicity and ease of use, economies of scale and global trade?
  • EIDAS rules for certification services will apply from July 1 of 2016. What are those issues, which should be promote themselves to ensure the smooth implementation of eIDAS, in particular with regard to the eIDAS certification services rules?

Certification Services & Electronic Identification

(Republish with translation from: European Commission, Digital Agenda for Europe, A Europe 2020 Initiative, "Trust Services and eID")

Electronic identification (eID) and Electronic Trust Services (ETS) are key to secure cross-border e-commerce and are central components of the Digital Single Market.

Regulation (EU) No 910 / 2014 [pdf file, 42 pages in Greek] on electronic identification and certification services for electronic commerce in the Internal Market (Regulation / Regulation eIDAS), adopted by the co-legislators at 23 July of 2014, is a milestone in providing a predictable regulatory environment to activate secure and seamless electronic interaction between businesses, citizens and public authorities. The eIDAS Regulation, based on the Commission Communication (COM (2012) 238 final of 4 June 2012) [pdf file, 63 pages in Greek] will increase the efficiency of public and private online services, eBusiness and e-commerce in the EU.

EID and eTS - that is to say electronic signatures, electronic stamps, stamps, online delivery service and website certification - are intrinsically linked to the substance of the matter when analyzing those requirements necessary to ensure legal certainty, trust and security of electronic transactions.

In this context, the eIDAS Regulation:

  • ensures that individuals and businesses can use their own national electronic identification systems (electronic identities) to access public services and other EU countries where the use of electronic identities is available.
  • creates a European internal market for eTS, ensuring that they operate cross-border and have the same legal status as traditional paper-based processes. Only by providing certainty about the legality of all these services will it be ensured that businesses and citizens will use digital interactions as their natural ways of interacting.

Trust Services

Μοιάζει πολύ με το όταν κάποιος υπογράφει ένα έγγραφο με ένα στυλό στον αναλογικό () κόσμο, έτσι και οι ηλεκτρονικές υπογραφές παρέχουν έναν τρόπο για να υπογράφονται τα έγγραφα στον ψηφιακό (online) κόσμο.

In the past, only handwritten signatures were legally valid. The Electronic Signature Directive (the Electronic Signature Directive), adopted in 1999 [*], extended the recognition of electronic signatures to the Directive on electronic signature (eSignature Directive). A reliable electronic signatures system that works in all EU countries is vital for the security of e-commerce and efficient provision of e-government services to businesses and citizens.

The eSignature Directive sets out the legal framework at European level for electronic signatures and certification services. Its aim is to make electronic signatures easier to use and to help them become legally recognized within the Member States. The Directive does not favor any particular technology.

However, in order to ensure the security and legal validity of an electronic transaction in cross-border scenarios (as well as at national level), electronic signature is certainly important, but it is not enough.

Other certification services that need to be secured:

  • Timing, ie date and time marking in an electronic document, proving the creation of the document at a specific point in time and that it has not changed since then.
  • Electronic stamp, that is, the electronic equivalent of a seal or a mark applied to a document to guarantee its origin, integrity and integrity.
  • Electronic delivery, a service that, to some extent, is the equivalent in the digital world for being the registered letter in the physical world.
  • Legal Acceptability of Electronic Documents to Ensure Authenticity and Integrity.
  • Certification of a website, such as the fact that the information on a website (eg for a certificate) is reliable, allowing users to check the authenticity of the site and its link to the entity / person who owns / provides it web page.

Without the certainty of the legality of all those related to services, businesses and citizens will still hesitate to use digital interactions as their natural way of interacting because they will be uncertain about whether or not they are valid any electronic services and will continue to resort in the analogous way to any problems, delays and limitations that this has. This is the intention behind the proposal of the "Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on electronic identification and certification services for electronic commerce in the internal market" / Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market ", issued in June of 2012, [pdf file, 63 pages in Greek].
