eID & Sign

Digital security is the basic right of modern age. Strong electronic identification and electronic signatures build trust and protect us in everything we do online—from using daily online services to important agreements.

Strong identification and electronic signatures—security and reliability in the use of digital services

Strong electronic identification and electronic signatures are the cornerstones of every-day digital services. The use of strong identification when using, e.g., banking services or official services enables you to ensure that your identity is verified in a secure and reliable manner. This protects you from misuse and ensures that only you have access to your information.

Electronic signatures, on the other hand, enable agreements and documents to be digitally signed. The stronger the signature level, the better both the document content and the signatory’s identity can be verified. Advanced and qualified electronic signatures are as legally binding and reliable as handwritten signatures, and they make the use of services within the EU easier and securer than ever before.
