Research
My research interests are eGovernment, electronic signatures, and electronic identity — in particular concerning the EU eIDAS Regulation. I contributed to several related European projects, like:
- STORK and STORK 2.0, the EU Large Scale Pilots on eID federation where I served as Member State Council co-chair and was pilot-leader of the integration with the European Commission Authentication Service ECAS
- eSENS, the EU Large Scale Pilot on Building Block consolidation, where I coordinated the Austrian national consortium
- Cloud for Europe on cloud services for the public sector where I was in charge of the work package on pre-commercial procurement preparation
- SUNFISH on the secure federation of governments’ private cloud infrastructures where I was work package leader on requirement identification
- FutureTrust on advancing trust services where A-SIT and A-SIT Plus manage the pilot evaluation
- the CEF projects eID4U on using eID in universities and SEMPER on enhancing eIDAS with electronic mandates
- the mGOV4EU project on advancing eIDAS and SDGR to mobile devices, where I am the technical leader
