The entry into force of the new #eIdAS Regulation has been parallel in time with the publication of different technical standards for the management of electronic signatures and other electronic trust services, in Spain it has been AENOR the institution in charge of this task.
The new European legal framework is homogeneous, but currently unstable while awaiting complementary legal standards and the publication of new nomenclature standards, often based on existing technical standards.
AENOR has recently published the series of standards UNE-EN 419211 “Protection profiles for secure signature creation devices”, which consists of 6 parts dealing with different types of qualified signature creation devices, specifies the operational and functional requirements and evaluation objects for the protection profiles of these devices.
In accordance with European Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market (eIDAS Regulation) and its development through the Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/650, these standards shall be used for the certification of qualified signature creation devices when the electronic signature creation data or the electronic stamp creation data are fully preserved, but not necessarily in an exclusive way, in a user-managed environment.
