Mobile ID
Mobile-ID allows people to use a mobile phone as a form of secure digital ID. Like the ID-card, it can be used to access secure e-services and digitally sign documents, but has the added advantage of not requiring a card reader.
The system is based on a special mobile SIM card, which the customer must request from a mobile phone operator. Private keys are stored on the mobile SIM card along with a small application supporting the authentication and signature functions.

Usage of Mobile ID
Here’s how it is used to log into a secure site, for instance a bank account:
- The user clicks the “Log in with Mobile-ID” option on a supported website
- The phone beeps and displays a screen indicating that a connection is being made
- The user is prompted to enter a pin code into the phone
- The screen on the phone disappears and the user gains access to the secure website
- As smartphones have been widely adopted, Mobile-ID will become increasingly handy, allowing users to vote, for instance, via a phone’s web browser.
