From the Executive Summary:
“The present study has collected fact based evidence to support the impact assessment of the different policy options according to the real-life scenarios of regulation, deployment and use of eIDs and eAuthentication in cross-border public or eGovernment services in the European Union. The present report provides a comprehensive conceptual framework for eIDs and eAuthentication, and fact-based data and indications on each of […] four eID options […] The study provides a coherent analysis of regulatory, institutional, organisational and technological issues related to the development of interoperable cross-border eIDs. Furthermore, it considers the four options in terms of their potential impact on the development of the digital single market in general, and of their support to the cross-border access to public services. The different options are compared with the specific development goals of current policy initiatives.”
