Cybersecurity and Electronic Services Oriented to E-Government in Europe

Cybersecurity in Europe as the rest of the world has been legislated for only 20 years. Numerous governmental institutions such as councils offer electronic services through their recently created electronic offices. In all of them, the volume of citizens who register temporarily or permanently to request online services related to the processing of documents and services with the government has increased significantly since the pandemic. Confinement has forced users to request numerous online services where authentication is one of the most relevant aspects to access safely and securely. European Union through the Connecting Europe Mechanism, CEF projects of the European Health Executive Agency, and Digital HaDEA has allowed numerous institutions to connect through the eIDAS created to establish trust in electronic transactions between individuals, organizations, and government entities across European member states.
