The SuisseID of the Post – now used as a SwissPostCertificate
As you already found out in the last newsletter, the Swiss Post has been entered in the list of recognised SuisseID providers with its subsidiary SwissSign.
The Swiss Post will be the biggest provider of the SuisseID. The Post SuisseID will be available in three different forms. In the most simple version as a card with a chip, and somewhat more practical as an integrative component of a USB reader. In the comfort version the SuisseID is an integral component of a mobile USB stick on which applications for the SuisseID can be stored.
The SwissStick which SwissSign is now already offering is a unique solution which combines the digital identity and signature on a USB stick with different applications. On the SwissStick of the Post, which will also be offered with SuisseID in the course of the year, there are various applications which provide access to electronic Post services. This includes IncaMail, the registered electronic letter of the Post. Or also Swiss Post Box, the electronic mailbox in which users receive their physical mail sent electronically.
The SwissPostCertificate is becoming the Post SuisseID and will be available from the Post at the start of May. Users of the current SwissPostCertificate will be able to upgrade to the SuisseID. You will find out more on this at the start of May.
In the meantime at www.post.ch/suisseid you will find the current information.
