Authenticated Academic Services through eIDAS

Abstract

The eIDAS regulation on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the European single market, provides a legal framework to enable secure and seamless transactions between citizens, businesses, and public agencies. The objective of this paper is to present the design and implementation of academic eIDAS-based services. Two particular services have been studied, namely, the Erasmus student mobility and the certificate issuance services. In this context, microservice architecture has been deployed, as it comprises an innovative approach for facilitating the process of registration of Erasmus students and the issuance of certificates in a fast, secured and reliable way.
