Qualified e-Archiving: Securing the Future of Digital Records
In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, the importance of data security and compliance cannot be overstated. One such development that is gaining traction is Qualified e-Archiving, a method of digital archiving that ensures the long-term integrity, authenticity, and legal admissibility of electronic documents. Compliant with the eIDAS 2.0 regulation, this framework is set to revolutionize the way businesses and public administrations store and manage their electronic records.
Qualified e-Archiving is a crucial component of the updated European digital trust services ecosystem. Its primary goal is to secure digital identity and transactions, thereby enhancing digital transformation for businesses and public administrations. This new method of digital archiving offers legally trusted storage for electronic documents, supporting cross-border recognition within the EU and EEA.
The implementation of Qualified e-Archiving involves the use of advanced digital identity tools such as electronic signatures and digital wallets. These are integrated with qualified trust services that verify and safeguard archived data. The regulation promotes decentralized digital identity use, selective disclosure of personal information, and cryptographic methods to ensure data control and prevent unauthorized access.
Member states are obliged to provide infrastructure like digital wallets linking national digital identities with other credentials to facilitate trusted identification and electronic proof exchange. This interoperable approach allows secure cross-border access to archived documents without unnecessary disclosure of personal data.
The implications of Qualified e-Archiving are far-reaching. It enables secure, compliant digital record-keeping and proof of integrity, which is crucial for audit, compliance, and legal purposes. As we move towards a more digital world, the need for such robust and secure archiving solutions becomes increasingly important.
In Germany, electronic invoicing is set to become mandatory for all B2B and B2G transactions starting from 2025. With Qualified e-Archiving in place, businesses can rest assured that their electronic invoices will be stored securely and will maintain their legal validity.
Meanwhile, in the realm of secure communication, Registered Electronic Mail (REM) has emerged as a new European standard. Replacing Certified Electronic Mail (PEC), REM offers a more secure method of communication, particularly for businesses.
In the financial sector, BNP Paribas Cardif is leading the way in prioritizing customer experience and security in their digital solutions. The company shares success stories of their digital transformations and emphasizes the importance of trust and compliance in the digital world.
