EIDAS

The EU trust mark for qualified trust services
The EU digital single market and the facilitation of public services across borders

eIDAS (for "electronic IDentification, Authentication and trust Services") is an EU regulation with the stated purpose of governing "electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions". It passed in 2014 and its provisions came into effect between 2016 and 2018.[1][2]

In 2023, a proposed change to the law would allow any EU government to perform man-in-the-middle attacks and spy on all internet messages, including encrypted communications.[3] The proposal was condemned by groups of cyber security researchers, NGOs, and civil society, as a threat to human rights, privacy, and dignity.[4][5][6]
