Abstract
The lack of a comprehensive European Union cross-border and cross-sector framework for secure, easy-to-use and authenticated electronic transactions has led to the electronic IDentification and Authentication Services (eIDAS) Regulation. This can be applied to student mobility programs that require authentication. The main objective of this article is to describe the connection of existing student services of the Agricultural University of Athens to the national eIDAS node. It describes the working progress of the connection of the Erasmus exchange student identification service to the node. Specifically, the upgrade of the existing service processes and the development of automated Web services based and compatible with the eIDAS Regulation are presented. These Web services speed up the process of student identification and facilitate uploading of documents needed for registration.
