eIDAS
Service providers who issue digital certificates, time stamps, or digital signatures can use nCipher nShield HSMs as a part of an eIDAS compliant solution.
The European Union's Electronic Identification and Trust Services (eIDAS) Regulation was developed to help establish a single European market for secure electronic commerce. For organizations that handle online transactions with European citizens, the Regulation will present significant opportunities, but it will also create new requirements. nCipher nShield hardware security modules play a vital role in helping to secure eIDAS-compliant solutions.
