Test report

A test protocol is created by Governikus DATA Boreum as the result of a validation. The validation protocol implements the requirements of the new ETSI standards. The validation of digital signatures is carried out in accordance with the technical standards developed in the context of the eIDAS Regulation. Therefore, the test protocol has a significantly extended scope and is divided into three sections, which can be expanded to different depths depending on the subject of validation.
