The Information System Authority (RIA) presented their suggestions to SK ID Solutions (SK), the provider of the Smart-ID service, for how to better prevent the creation of Smart-ID accounts by criminals. Many Smart-ID accounts have been created for people without their knowledge and people have also lost funds in some occasions.

All new e-services that wish to enable their customers to use Mobile-ID for authentication and signing will have to integrate their e-service or application with Mobile-ID’s REST API service.

As of 5 June, the ID-card software DigiDoc4 can be used to sign documents with Mobile-ID only if the user has updated the software.

On April 1, 2019, an important change will be implemented in the SK Time-Stamping Service which will affect all SK Time-Stamping Service users.

Starting from January, computer users can only give digital signatures with DigiDoc4, the new ID-card software, which was first made available in July last year. Those who have not yet accepted the update suggested by their computer must update their ID-card software now.

The electronic usage of Estonian and Lithuanian mobile-ID was interrupted today from 09:52:00 to 14:28:00. This caused problems with log-in to Internet banks and other e-services using mobile-ID as well as digital signing. 

 If you have a digital ID card with a validity period of three years and it hasn’t yet expired then follow the instructions when you log into Estonia’s ID card software (DigiDoc4) from 1 November and you’ll receive a bonus two years before it expires. 

SK ID Solutions AS will be conducting business continuity tests on all of our services from 26.10.2018 to 28.10.2018.
