Earlier this week, the Information System Authority (RIA) and the Smart-ID solution provider SK ID Solutions (SK) signed a contract that will allow Smart-ID to be used as an authentication tool to access state e-services.

  Due to the changes in the address and file name of the List of Trusted Lists (LOTL), e-service providers as well as users of digidoc-tool, the C++ library libdigidocpp, and DigiDoc4j will have to make changes to ensure that the service would continue to be able to verify the validity of signatures, or take into consideration the implications of not doing so.

  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.
