Documentation of the legal foundations of trust and trustworthiness: Deliverable D2.8

This document presents a report based on (iterative) interaction with WP3 and WP4. It assesses a range of MS eID architectures which could be integrated within an EU eID metasystem and/or influence the very development of an EU eID metasystem. This is carried out via a combination of relevant desk research and consultation with experts in a sample of Member States including Austria and the UK. The goal was to compare a range of different eID scheme architectures, and assess the implications of the eIDAS Regulations in particular in the light of Articles 8, 11 and 12.
