LECTURES 2024

This presentation will introduce the mSign solution, which enables modern, secure and legally binding electronic signing of documents remotely. mSign simplifies business processes through paperless signing, reduces document processing time and ensures compliance with laws and security standards. Participants will learn how they can use mSign to increase the efficiency and transparency of their business operations and optimize document validation processes.

Trust technologies enable the integration of stakeholders and the verification of data, which is the key to the secure and private exchange of information (including sensitive information). Their use will expand due to legislation, standardization and growing interest in various areas. We will look at concrete implementation steps, stakeholder involvement and business process adaptation in public and private organizations. The focus will be on data exchange protocols, the creation of trusted registers and the integration of digital wallets. We will present successful examples from the EU and the US where our solutions are already in use and encourage organizations to adopt such technologies.

This year, Regulation (EU) No. 2024/1183 (eIDAS 2.0 for short) was adopted at EU level, providing all EU citizens and companies with a European digital identity wallet to prove their identity. The wallet will also allow users to securely retrieve, store and share their important documents, such as education and licensing certificates, proof for opening a bank account, as well as electronically sign or, in the case of wallets for businesses, electronically stamp documents. The most important innovations of eIDAS 2.0 will be presented, as well as the status of the preparation of implementing acts with provisions for the functioning of the entire European wallet ecosystem. Of course, eIDAS 2.0 will also have an impact on national legislation, particularly in the area of regulation of electronic identification and trust services. In addition to the planned changes on the legislative side, the technical preparations for the upcoming European wallet will also be presented.

Coming soon.

Accreditation – Support for the Legislator and Value for the User

Slovenian Accreditation (SA) is a national accreditation body established as a public institution. Accreditation is a procedure for certifying the competence of conformity assessment bodies (CABs), including certification bodies for the certification of trust services for electronic transactions and also those wishing to be accredited for the certification of European digital identity wallets. The already established, trusted, effective and internationally recognized accreditation system is used by regulators as well as other stakeholders in the secure trust services chain both for the designation of conformity assessment bodies operating under the rules and for demonstrating the conformity of these bodies. The use of accredited certification bodies contributes to the quality of services, reduces the likelihood of non-compliant services and operates under the same rules for everyone. The results of the accredited certification bodies for the certification of trust services and the certification of European wallets are trusted and are recognized as equally reliable in each Member State. Cooperation with the legislator is very important in the establishment and maintenance of accreditation shemes based on legislative documents, and which are subsequently used as a prerequisite for the designation of conformity assessment bodies. The criteria and specifics of accreditation are agreed with the legislator to ensure that the services provided by the accredited body comply with legal requirements and are usable for the market.

A working group of the CEN/TC 468 Technical Committee is working on a technical specification that defines the requirements for providers of electronic archiving trust services as laid down in the revised EU eIDAS Regulation. The content of the technical specifications overlaps with some provisions of the Regulation on uniform technological requirements for the capture and preservation of material in digital form, which in Slovenia defines requirements for providers of certified eArchive services (comparable to the eIDAS electronic archiving trust services). This lecture presents the expected content of the technical specifications and the timeline for their development and publication.

Directive (EU) 2022/2555 on measures for a high common level of cybersecurity across the Union (NIS 2) will be transposed into the Slovenian legal order by the new Information Security Act. The new law will significantly increase the number of obliged persons, change the thresholds and the way obliged persons are determined and expand the scope of security measures. In November 2024, the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 will also enter into force, setting out rules for the application of Directive (EU) 2022/2555 on technical and methodological requirements for measures to manage cybersecurity risks and further specifying in which cases an incident is considered significant. We will look at the main changes that the implementation of the NIS 2 Directive will bring to our legal system and the specifics that will apply to trust service providers.

What does e-wallet have to do with e-signature or why do we need eIDAS 2.0?

The eIDAS 2 Regulation focuses on the introduction of the European Digital Identity Wallet (EDDI). The EDDI is essentially an application that enables the secure storage, management and exchange of personal identification data, credentials and other information, often referred to as “attributes”, about the holder of the EDDI. The core functionality of EDDI is therefore based on the processing of personal data, which obliges providers and users of electronic trust services to take all measures to ensure that the processing complies with the General Data Protection Regulation and ZVOP-2. Given the wide range of electronic services that will be available to individuals when using EDDI and the resulting large amount of personal data (including sensitive data, e.g. health data) that will be stored and exchanged in EDDI, it is crucial that data protection measures are implemented by design and by default by providers and users of trust services, e.g. to prevent excessive data sharing, which is a prerequisite for the realization of a robust and trustworthy system for electronic identification and trust services.
