InfoCert welcomes the opportunity to provide our feedback on the proposed delegated regulation. After reviewing the draft regulation, we propose the inclusion of the concept of EIDAS compliant digital trust in certain specific processes, such as: identity verification and authentication, information collection, exchange and secure e-archiving, and supply chain tracking. We believe that a trusted IoT identity platform, that can be based on a PKI infrastructure compliant with the IEC 62351 standard, as well as on the upcoming European Digital Identity Wallet, is the solution to guarantee the authenticity, confidentiality and integrity of data exchanged between actors. We propose to include in the document the use of these technologies as solutions to protect the entire infrastructure and network of devices by issuing certificates with a trusted digital identity that enables secure and qualified communication in the supply chain and electric grid. Digital certificates or verifiable credentials can be issued to software components, legal entities and individuals involved in business processes. These technologies ensure flexibility, interoperability and the creation of common standards, which should be guaranteed by an official European Trusted Entity, such as a QTSP, in order to provide: - Security through easy tracking and monitoring without intermediaries and compatibility with Secure Element; - Privacy with a secure IP, encrypted data flow, data breach prevention and GDPR compliance; - Trusted identity by providing HW and SW component IDs, legal and physical person IDs, controlled enrollment processes, and a framework for assessing roles and responsibilities; - eIDAS-compliant trust processes that ensure legally binding transactions, a Trust Anchor, and controlled enrollment processes. - A certified audit trail. Thank you in advance for taking the time to consider these suggestions. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have. Best regards, on behalf of InfoCert S.p.A.

The attached document reflects the InfoCert Group contribution to the “have your say” consultation on the EC Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council, amending Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 as regards establishing a framework for a European Digital Identity.
InfoCert Group is the largest QTSP in Europe, composed of companies incorporated and supervised under several EU Members States:
- InfoCert S.p.A., the leading Italian QTSP, under the vigilance of Agenzia per l’Italia Digitale - AGID,
- Camerfirma SA, based in Spain and supervised by the Ministerio de Asuntos Económicos y Transformación Digital, which operate also in Latin America through its subsidiaries Camerfirma Colombia and Camerfirma Perù,
- Authada Gmbh, a German company active in the digital identity space, with solutions certified by the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI),
- CertEurope SA, a leading French Certification Authority under the vigilance of the Agence nationale de la sécurité des systèmes d’information (ANSSI).
We all would like to thank the Commission for the open and collaborative approach that characterized the large debate that precede the Proposal for a review of the eIDAS Regulation, and for the opportunity to continue to express our voice in a formal engagement process.
As InfoCert Group, we are strongly committed in putting our vast, multi-national and variegated know-how on Qualified Trust Services, digital identity schemas, self-sovereign identity and trust governance frameworks, available to the to the Commission, the Parliament and all the other stakeholders involved in the legislative and implementation process.
The Proposal for the revision of the eIDAS Regulation introduces some important changes that will have a positive impact on users' experience of trust services, and accelerate the take-off of digital identity-related public and private services.
Nevertheless, we believe that the framework could even be improved, especially on the following topics:
- European Digital Identity Wallet (role of the private sector, liability framework, signature capabilities, security)
- Harmonization and interoperability (role of local legislation, unique identifiers and LEI)
- QWAC (browser liability and enforcement)
- Qualified Attributes (separate legal entity, GDPR prevalence, business models)
- Qualified Electronic Archiving (standards, international and European experiences)
- Electronic Ledgers (definition, role of the regulation, European experiences)
- Cybersecurity (NIS2).
We would be happy to provide more information and further elaborate on the topics expressed in our attached contribution, and we remain at your complete disposition.

25 Oct 2019
InfoCert Group welcomed the approval of eIDAS Regulation back in 2014, a fundamental milestone in the creation of an interoperable Digital Single Market for trust services.
Trust is crucial to build a digital society which is based on the security and protection of both citizens and legal entities; operating in more than 20 Countries across Europe, providing Qualified Trust Services and e-Identity solutions in a variety of vertical markets, InfoCert enjoys a privileged point of view on the strengths and weaknesses of the Regulation as we’ve been able to experience the distinctive implementation approaches adopted by different Member States.
In reviewing eIDAS Regulation, we believe that QTSPs should be able to effortlessly dismiss deprecated technologies and, at the same time, have the option to adopt more secure, innovative and technologically advanced solutions for identification, signature devices, signature services and platforms, without having to wait too long for new standards or regulations to become effective.
We underline that the creation of a universal, trustworthy and interoperable eIDAS-based Digital Single Market is directly affected by the quality and homogeneity of the approaches of Supervisory Bodies and Conformity Assessment Bodies. In harmonizing the approaches, we need to avoid that bureaucratic and too rigid interpretation prevails, destroying the spaces to do business and opening the market to low-compliant, less-secure, less-trustworthy but, at the same time, highly usable solutions.
