ETSI and eIDAS: qualified signatures, trust services, and the EU Digital Identity Wallet
The same page told visually, ready to present. Speaker notes carry the full explanation.
EU law
ETSI and eIDAS
Qualified signatures, trust services and the EU Digital Identity Wallet
A regulation, not a certification program
From Directive to 2.0
Twenty-five years of e-signature law
eIDAS 2.0 (2024/1183) amends 910/2014 rather than replacing it
Three tiers
Simple, advanced, qualified
Article 25: never denied effect for being electronic; a QES counts EU-wide
Qualified status
Earned per service, published on a list
Validators check the trusted list, not a flag in the certificate
QSCDs
Where the signing key may live
Most qualified signatures today are created remotely
ETSI EN 319
The documents you'll meet most
1xx signatures · 4xx providers · 5xx applications · 6xx status lists
AdES formats
One format per container
All share EN 319 102-1's validation model
Surviving time
Baseline levels
Each level survives one more thing: expiry, revocation, offline OCSP, weak algorithms
eIDAS 2.0
The EU Digital Identity Wallet
Free to citizens, due December 2026; big platforms must accept it by end of 2027
QWACs
The argument with browser vendors
A QWAC alongside, not instead of, the ordinary TLS certificate
