We are pleased to share the latest developments of the eID Easy API Platform below.
*Please note that definitions of terms used in the newsletter can be found at the end of the document.
Latest Focus
eID Easy has been making steady progress in the digital wallet space. We recently built an Austrian wallet prototype, and additional country prototypes are in development.
Another major effort is the redesign of signature and identification flows to improve the user experience and visual design.
We're also updating our API to behave more consistently across all supported methods. Since every signature and identification method works a bit differently (with varying parameters and options), we’re working to remove those differences.
For example:
- We're aiming to make all signature methods work via the CSC API where possible.
- We're enabling batch signing for more methods.
- For identification, we’re wrapping everything into the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol, even though OIDC doesn’t natively support identification.
→ In the AI space, we’ve built the first version of our MCP server. If you're building automated systems or AI workflows, get in touch — we're happy to show you how it works.
