Pilots
- using open standards
 common service architecture allowing citizens to use their
national eIDs to access e- Government portals across
borders,
 platform for safer online communication using eIDs for
children,
 service facilitating students’ mobility across Europe,
 use of eID for cross-border electronic delivery for citizens
and businesses,
 and for testing the electronic process of address change for
EU citizens that move to other Member States.

STORK
- security
Security and privacy are serious concerns within the
project.
 All efforts will be made to ensure that mutual
recognition of electronic identity makes identity theft
extremely difficult.
 As authentication levels for a given application may
differ across Member States, the project will develop
“circles of trust” at European scale.

STORK
– impact
The project will result in the smooth cross- border operation of several
key public services.
The solution will:
 be scalable to all EU Member States.
 be technology-transparent, robust, with measurable benefits,
 be implemented in such a way that it is sustainable beyond
the life of the pilot.
 save time and money with safer transactions, less fraud,
better control over personal data and simplified procedures.
