| Abstract: | eIDAS regulation proposed by the EU was created to unify the Eu-ropean Digital Single Market with a single reliable and secure framework for digital identification. Nevertheless, attacks like phishing for credentials bypass the framework entirely and target the users themselves. Moreover, extra protection against attacks on the system or the user (security) may interfere with the intended operation as a reliable identification or trust service or pose a threat to user’s well-being (safety). Additionally, most of research on eIDAS implementations investigates single specific use cases, po-tentially missing the threats resulting from prolonged, repetitive or simultaneous interactions. This research is to analyse the safety (protection against failures of the system and harm to the user) and security (defence against attacks) concerns in the context of elec-tronic identification in the case of a Dutch digital citizen and inves-tigate the interplay of security and safety in the eIDAS-compliant trust services with a focus on holistic interactions. We start with a literature review, then present the digital landscape and role of eIDAS in it using Account Access Graphs and then analyse the interactions and model the safety and security of the system with the attack-fault trees combination. |
