*Please note that definitions of terms used in the newsletter can be found at the end of the document.
Latest Focus
eID Easy continues to deliver new signature integration solutions each month. At the same time, we’re working to improve the capabilities of previously integrated methods.
This includes:
- enabling batch signing where supported;
- allowing signers to choose between multiple certificates when available; and
- providing integrators with access to hash signing and other advanced features.
→ The eID Easy API already offers a wide range of integration options for different use cases.
We follow several international standards for eID and eSignature—such as OIDC, CSC API, and others. Ongoing improvements focus on ensuring that all supported methods are upgraded to comply with the latest standards where applicable.
