In Finland, bank identifiers have been used for electronic identification since the late 1990s; they have been an officially approved electronic identification method since 1999. The Mobile certificate, which works on the SIM card of your mobile phone, was introduced in 2011. It offered a brand new way to identify yourself without a separate app or device. Both the above-mentioned identification methods are important tools for the use of electronic services in Finland.<\/p>\n

Consequently, no service providers have been added to the register of identification service providers of the National Cyber Security Centre of the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency, Traficom, since 2011\u2014until hightrust.id was approved and added to it in December 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

The Electronic Signatures Directive (1999\/93\/EC) created a legal framework for electronic signatures. However, it was mainly focused on their legal status without covering electronic identification to any great extent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t Read more<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

In Finland, the use of bank identifiers as a strong identification method is unusually common. Approximately 90% of all identifications are based on a bank identifier. In addition to banks, they are used for logging into insurance companies as well as the services of government authorities, including Kela, the Finnish Tax Administration, and MyKanta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t
