Service providers who issue digital certificates, time stamps, or digital signatures can use nCipher nShield HSMs as a part of an eIDAS compliant solution.

For organizations that handle online transactions with European citizens, the eIDAS Regulation presents significant opportunities, and also creates new requirements. nCipher nShield hardware security modules play a vital role in helping to secure eIDAS-compliant solutions.
