European Electronic Signature Standardisation Initiative

Overview
The European Electronic Signature Standardisation Initiative (EESSI) was created in 1999 by ICTSB to co-ordinate the standardization activity in support to the implementation of Directive 1999/93/EC on electronic signature. Standardization activities were published in the Official Journal in July 2003. These standards are part of a longer set of specifications defined by EESSI and included in their work program. With the publication of this full set of standards, EESSI fulfilled its mandate and ICTSB closed EESSI WG in October 2004.
