eIDASsäädöksellä

eIDASsäädöksellä refers to the Finnish implementation of the European Union's eIDAS Regulation. This regulation, which stands for electronic identification, authentication and trust services, establishes a framework for secure and seamless electronic identification and trust services across EU member states. The Finnish eIDASsäädöksellä aims to ensure that electronic identification issued by one member state is recognized in others, facilitating cross-border digital transactions and services.

The primary objective of the eIDAS Regulation, and by extension eIDASsäädöksellä, is to build trust in electronic transactions. It defines common standards and guarantees for electronic identification schemes, electronic signatures, electronic seals, time stamps, and electronic registered delivery services. This harmonization allows citizens and businesses to securely access online services, submit documents, and conduct business across the EU using their national electronic identification means.

In Finland, the eIDASsäädöksellä has enabled Finnish citizens and businesses to utilize their secure electronic identification methods for accessing services in other EU countries. Conversely, it also means that electronic identification solutions from other member states can be used to access Finnish public and private sector services. The regulation is crucial for the functioning of the Digital Single Market, promoting digital innovation and fostering a more integrated European economy. It sets out the legal framework and technical requirements for trusted cross-border digital interactions.
