Dear Trust Service Provider,

As you are probably aware, the European Commission presented in July
2012 a proposal for a new Regulation on electronic identification and
trust services for electronic
transactions(http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=COM:2012:0238:FIN:en:PDF), 

which will supersede the current Directive 1999/93/EC on a Community
framework for electronic signatures. Art. 15 of the proposed Regulation
establishes certain provisions regarding the security requirements
applicable to trust service providers.

In order to facilitate the implementation of this provision, as well as
to generally support trust service providers (TSP) in the introduction
of best security practices, the European Network and Information
Security Agency (ENISA) is working on 2013 on a series of studies on the
security aspects of trust service providers issuing electronic
certificates, as well as security and interoperability aspects specific
to the new trust services foreseen in the proposed Regulation.

ENISA is running a survey about the security mechanisms used by TSP in
Europe, and their interoperability. This survey is part of the project
and is addressed to every TSP offering, or intending to offer in the
future, any of the services identified in the proposed Regulation:

·Electronic certificates, including e-Signature ones

·Electronic time stamps

·Electronically signed documents storage or management

·Electronic delivery services

·Validation of electronic signatures

·Longtime preservation of electronic signatures

The survey is structured following these topics, and you only have to
answer the questions related to the services you provide. You can fill
in the survey in the following URL:

https://www.enisa.europa.eu/trust-services-in-eu
<https://www.enisa.europa.eu/trust-services-in-eu>

It will take 10-30 minutes to complete the survey, depending on the
number of services you provide or will do. Please do so at your earliest
convenience, before the 14^th of July, but preferably before the 1^st of
July.

The results of the survey will be anonymous, but you can optionally
introduce your organizational contact data. Doing so will enable us to
include your organization in the acknowledgements of the final reports,
if you indicate that you wish so.
