Trust is the basis for innovation and collaborative action. In the digital world, cybersecurity and technologies that enable the build-up of trust are important for creating the underlying conditions in which the digital economy and society can securely develop and deliver value.

Digital trust services and electronic identity services help speed up social and business interactions and are key building blocks for secure and efficient online transactions. Trust and eID services streamline processes and reduce the reliance on paper, protect data, lower operational costs and enable the secure use of digital services that further support the growth of the digital economy. Trust and eID services are also essential for enabling cross-border transactions and operations, helping to build trust and economic ties between countries.

The adoption of eID and trust services is a major step forward for digital transformation. When countries adopt eID and trust services, citizens and businesses can benefit from a more secure and efficient digital environment. This can lead to economic growth, as well as improved government services and citizen participation.
