German eID servers will be eIDAS compliant
The technical implementation is being carried out in the framework of the Connect Europe Facility (CEF) TREATS (Trans-European AuThentication Services) project, which receives funding from the EU.
The project, which ends on 30 November, will make the German eID servers eIDAS compliant and will enable or expand eID applications, public services and service accounts.
In this way, other Europeans will be able to use the German eID services with other notified electronic identities.
The Federal Office for Information Security is currently revising underlying Technical Guideline to include the eIDAS functions.
