New version of ID software enables digital signing with Smart-ID
Mark Erlich, head of the electronic identity department at
RIA, said that the terms of the agreement with SK ID Solutions, the provider of
the Smart-ID service, were agreed upon last year, after which work to
develop Smart-ID support for the ID software began.
"We have had good cooperation with RIA, and this is a
nice birthday present for Smart-ID that has just turned three. We are also glad
that RIA has taken into use an additional security measure, meaning that in
signing with Smart-ID the app asks the user to choose the right one from among
three check codes -- this will encourage also other e-services to adopt
it," Liisa Lukin, manager for value added services at SK ID Solutions,
said.
Digital signatures can be given with DigiDoc4 by those users
of Smart-ID who created their account after Nov. 8, 2018.
The reason for this is that starting from that date,
Smart-ID was introduced on the list of qualified electronic signature
creation devices. Users who have created their account earlier must delete
their Smart-ID account and create a new one in order to be able to start
signing documents with Smart-ID.
Non-corporate entities can sign documents in reasonable
numbers via DigiDoc4 using a Smart-ID. Corporate customers are required to
conclude an agreement with SK ID Solutions for the use of Smart-ID via
DigiDoc4. With default settings, documents can be signed using a Smart-ID only
by holders of an Estonian personal identification code.
Users who have concluded an agreement with the service
provider can also sign documents with a Latvian or a Lithuanian personal
identification code.
The recently completed software is also the last version of
the software that supports the older operating systems Windows 7 and macOS
10.11.
RIA's DigiDoc mobile app does not support Smart-ID at this
point.
