Personal Digital Identity
Manage your existing Identity >>
This digital certificate provides the individual user with the highest level of
security; enabling identification, authentication, secure encrypted communications
(e-mail, web site etc.), electronic signatures, and non-repudiation.
WISeKeyPersonal eIDs associate the identity of a person with a digital identity.
On one hand a digital ID, or eID can be viewed as Digital Passports that inform
Internet users about their interlocutors' identity and ensure electronic messages
confidentiality.
Those certificates integrate seamlessly with the majority of existing systems. They
are user-friendly, each action being performed via Windows-like active icons.

- The integrity of the message,
- The identification of the originator and,
- Her/his expressed intention in it.

High Class Digital eIDs
WISeKey only authorizes high-class personal certificates delivered through a face-to-face
identification process. That way, no doubt remains about the Internet user identity.
This high level of security is required in order to ensure a common quality basis
for digital certificates internationally and cross sector interoperability.
WISeKey recommends that Personal eIDs be directly generated in a physical device
(smart card or USB token) ensuring that no copy can be made during nor after the
generation process of the digital eID .
This choice increases the level of security by reinforcing certified user identification
and avoiding any fake of identity.
