The European Commission has reached a political agreement in late February that provides the legal basis for the achievement of electronic identification and authenticity in Europe with the use of the infrastructure of STORK 2.0, a project involving staff of the Planning and Technology Forecasting Bureau and the Computing Service at the Universitat Jaume I.

José Pascual Gumbau and Vicent Andreu, who lead one of four pilot programmes, in particular, the one focused in uniersity learning and academic qualifications, have stated that «this agreement will make academic mobility easier and will provide the necessary confidence in the electronic inter-university relations».

The regulation on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market (eIDAS), which is due to come into force on 1st July 2014, is intended to develop interoperability and usage of eID and trust services. It aims to remove the barriers inhibiting national and cross-border electronic transactions, by giving them the same legal validity as paper-based processes. The regulation also includes a strengthening of existing EU legislation regarding eSignatures.

STORK 2.0 Project Coordinator from Atos Spain, Ana Piñuela states: “This agreement on eIDAS represents a key milestone in our efforts to move towards the realisation of interoperable and secure elD and authentication for European Member States. We have come a long way, since the inception of the initial STORK project back in 2008, to reach this milestone.” She adds: “Today, thanks to the joint efforts of the EC, the Member States and the STORK 2.0 consortium, we are closer than ever to achieve, based on mutually recognised eID and trust services, the required levels of trustworthiness in cross-border electronic relations between European citizens, public and private organisations.”

STORK 2.0 was launched in 2012 as a large scale pilot, bringing together 58 consortium partners and 19 countries to facilitate the creation and take-up of a single interoperable and sustainable eID authentication area for Europe. The project’s key objectives are to accelerate the deployment of eID for public and private services; maximise the take-up of its scalable solutions throughout the EU and Associated Countries; foster the cooperation between private and public sectors and validate the common specifications and building blocks by means of four cross-border and cross-sector pilots (eLearning and Academic Qualifications, eBanking, Public Services for Business and eHealth).

STORK 2.0 Dissemination and Communication Leader, Arvid Welin of Sweden, explains: “With the currently achieved optimal fit between the new eIDAS Regulation and STORK 2.0 objectives, we are now truly confident that the single European electronic identification and authentication area will become a tangible reality for the benefit and adoption of all Europeans.”
