Main functions

WISeKey CertifyID eIDs provide the capability for signing and deciphering of an electronic message.

High Class Digital eIDs

High Class Digital eIDs

WISeKey only authorizes high-class personal certificates delivered through a face-to-face identification process. That way, no doubt remains about the Internet user identity. This high level of security is required in order to ensure a common quality basis for digital certificates internationally and cross sector interoperability.

WISeKey recommends that Personal eIDs be directly generated in a physical device (smart card or USB token) ensuring that no copy can be made during nor after the generation process of the digital eID .

This choice increases the level of security by reinforcing certified user identification and avoiding any fake of identity.
