According to the eIDAS Regulation, Article 3 (16), a trust service is an electronic service that is usually provided for a fee and includes, among other things: Creation, verification and validation of electronic signatures, seals or time stamps, as well as verification and validation of certificates for website authentication. A qualified trust service meets the relevant requirements of the eIDAS Regulation, Article 3 (17), and is verified every two years in an elaborate procedure by an accredited conformity assessment body. The result is communicated to the responsible supervisory authority (BNetzA or BSI). The status as a qualified trust service provider can be verified throughout Europe via a trust list and a seal of approval. The German trust list is available on the website of the Federal Network Agency: www.nrca-ds.de. "Bundesdruckerei" (sign-me) is a qualified trust service provider for signatures, seals, time stamps and website certificates.
