Electronic proof of identity SuisseID – The Swiss Post is a recognised provider

During the third stage of economic stabilisation measures, the Federal Council resolved to accelerate the introduction of the SuisseID. In Switzerland the SuisseID is the first standardised product for secure electronic proof of identity. Transactions can be concluded from private individuals to companies, between companies and from citizens to the administration directly via the Internet.

With its subsidiary SwissSign, the Swiss Post is in the list of recognised providers of certification services according to the Swiss Electronic Signature Act (ZertES). At the moment standard definitions are being discussed for the Suisse ID, and SwissSign is heavily involved here too. Any natural person will then be able to acquire the SuisseID in the spring of 2010 from SwissSign.

The Swiss Post will offer SwissPostCertificate users the opportunity of upgrading to the SuisseID. You will find out more on this at the start of next year.

IncaMail News

IncaMail is the first recognised platform for administrative proceedings

recognised platform for administrative proceedings
The information platform IncaMail from the Swiss Post has just been recognised as the first and only platform for electronic handling of administrative proceedings. Via IncaMail, authorities can therefore now send corresponding decrees safely by e-mail and if necessary can also send these registered with confirmation of dispatch and receipt.

Based on this acknowledgement, Graubünden has become the first canton to decide to introduce the e-mail platform IncaMail for secure communication. In the canton of Graubünden IncaMail is integrated directly into Outlook and now makes it possible for different administrative authorities in the canton to send encrypted mails and registered electronic messages.

Electronic petitions via IncaMail directly in JURIS

Abraxas Juris AG relies on IncaMail for its electronic communication. The platform of the Swiss Post for sending secure and verifiable emails is now being integrated into JURIS, the standard application for organs of the legal system.

The background to the integration is the decree being discussed at the Federal Office of Justice which will mean that from 1.1.2011 courts and different authorities will be obliged to receive and handle petitions electronically. Thanks to the integration, courts working with JURIS can easily fulfil the requirements of the Federal Office of Justice for secure electronic transmission and at the same time prevent media disruptions when handling these petitions.

Insurance card – SwissSign provides certificates

The Federal Council has passed the decree on insurance cards. The insurance card started being issued in the course of 2008. From the start of 2010 all insured people must then present the card when they are given treatment or services by doctors, hospitals or pharmacies and want this to be settled by the health insurance company.

The insurance card bears the name and the new insurance number of the insured person – imprinted legibly and stored electronically on a chip like an ID card. To help guarantee the security of electronic data, insurance companies have opted for the certificates from SwissSign. We will publish the names of these health insurance companies in an upcoming newsletter as soon as the insurance cards are on the market.

You will find further information on the insurance card at: http://www.bag.admin.ch/themen/krankenversicherung/07060/index.html
