Security issues in cross-border electronic authentication

This report assesses the security risks of electronic authentication in cross-border solutions. Two different projects offering cross-border authentication were examined and evaluated:

NETC@RDS for eEHIC ID is a pan-European project supported by the EU eTEN programme. It aims at facilitating the medical treatment of European citizens by using an electronically readable European health insurance card.

STORK (Secure idenTity acrOss boRders linKed) is a large-scale pilot project in the ICT Policy Support programme that aims at simplifying administrative formalities by providing secure online access to public services across EU borders.
