​Levels of assurance

Signing​​ and validation​

 

Strong customer authentication and security levels 

​User authentication of Nets’ eID supports strong customer authentication (SCA) that is PSD2 and eIDAS compliant with 2-factor authentication.

From an end-user perspective, the authentication is performed using one or more authenticators such as password, authentication app or a one-time password (OTP) token.

The solution supports levels of security, also called levels of assurance (LoA) on three security levels; Low, Substantial and High.

Due to the differentiated security levels Nets’ eID solution supports the eIDAS regulations for Governments and private enterprises in Europe.

European banks must be PSD2 compliant

The Banks in Europe must be PSD2 compliant. The key objectives of the PSD2 directive is to create a more integrated European payments market, harmonizing legal framework for consumer protection and the rights by making payments more safe and secure.

The regulation called PSD2 RTS COMMISSION DELEGRATED REGULATION (EU) 2018/389 of 27 November 2017 which is supplementing Directive (EU) 2015/2366 of the European Parliament and of the Council with regards to regulatory technical standards for Strong Customer Authentication and common and secure open standards of communication.

PSD2 seeks to improve consumer protection, make payments safer and more secure, and is a regulatory of technical standards for strong customer authentication and common and secure open standards of communication, including all electronic transactions (i.e., card and bank transfers) initiated by a payer (i.e., consumer).

Nets' eID solution is developed with two separate authentication flows. For the solution to be PSD2 compliant you may not disclose, which of the user credentials is not correct. This security measure challenges the user experience and can be switched off when the authentication flow does not have to be PSD2 compliant.

Electronic identification and trust services

Governments in Europe using services to verify the identity of individuals and businesses online or the authenticity of electronic documents must be eIDAS compliant.

Services should support different levels of assurance, and users identified with two-factor authentication.

The regulation is meant to support the use of authentication and signatures across European borders, and national eIDs can be used to log in to a service in other countries. The national eID can be registered in the common pool of national eID, so it is accepted on an equal footing with the rest of the EU.

Accepting common levels of security creates trust across countries, and if an authentication nationally is at the level "high", then the rest of the countries in EU can trust it.
