Project Coordination

Universitat Politècnica de València, as the coordinating institution of the EUROLogin project, will be the responsible manager with contributions from all beneficiaries. This activity is aimed to ensure an efficient and satisfactory management while implementing the action. It contemplates the administrative and financial management, compliance with the work plan, and its necessary follow up; the knowledge management, aiming the gather and organization of important information in order to improve future connections to the eIDAS nodes; and, finally, it seeks for quality assurance and guarantee that the participants will meet the high standards required for this project.

Project Implementation

This activity aims to connect 3 EDI Providers and 1 public university to their respective eIDAS nodes, in order to  allow cross-border authentication. The tasks related to implementation start in a previous phase, related to the definition of the technical requirements needed to adapt the cloud platforms/systems and implement the connection to the eIDAS nodes. This implementation will result in the cross-border availability of all electronic services offered by the providers, to the European citizens whose countries eID schemes have been notified to the European Commission, this will be confirmed through interoperability tests. The participant´s platforms will be connected as follows:

• Billit will be connected to the Belgian eIDAS node, implementing the eID Digital Service Infrastructure in the existing BILLIT-EDAS online platform (BILLIT Electronic Document Authentication Service).
• SATA will be connected to the Italian eIDAS node. The SATA Cloud Extraction service (SATA-CE) will implement the eID DSI.
• ELCOM will be connected to the British eIDAS node for cross-border authentication. The implementation will cover the PECOS eService (Procure-to- Pay software).
• University of Cyprus will be connected to the Cypriot eIDAS node for cross-border authentication, with the support of its EDI Provider “Goldman”. The implementation and tests will cover the Erasmus Students Identification service used by the University of Cyprus (UCY).

Conformance Tests

The conformance tests seek to guarantee the quality of the results obtained during implementation, allowing providers to start using the CEF eID Building Block. A Technical Quality Committee will be created to assess these results and it will ensure that the conformance test outcome is the cross-border authentication of European citizens, using nationally issued eIDS from the different participating countries in the production environment. The tests and logs will be evaluated and certified, thus validating the results.

Project Dissemination

The different milestones and results achieved by the participants will be communicated through the Dissemination of the Action, consisting in the creation of this website, complemented by the use of Social Media and the publication of news related to the project´s progress. Furthermore, the coordinating institution has prepared a strategic communication plan that will feature tasks by all participants, focused in public entities and researchers interested in the eID Building Block.
