ABSTRACT
In parallel, market analysis and further options are considered both for LEPS project results and for e-IDAS compliant eID services. This is where Leveraging eID in the Private Sector (LEPS) projects comes into picture. While public service providers are already under obligation to recognize notified eID services from another MS, private sector online service providers are especially targeted in CEF projects, and in LEPS in particular, in order to connect them to eIDAS network and offer eIDAS compliant eID services to the European citizens. The focus is on the SP side of the eID market, more specifically subgroup of private sector online service providers. Finally, authors can say that LEPS is fully aligned with the overall aim of CEF programme to bring down the barriers that are holding back the growth of the EU Digital Single Market the development of which could contribute additional EUR 415 billion per year to EU economy.
