Finnish Trust Network / Luottamusverkosto

About

The Finnish Trust Network (FTN), known in Finnish as Luottamusverkosto, is a national framework that consolidates various electronic identification (eID) methods in Finland.

It enables service providers to authenticate users through a single integration point, covering a range of identity providers, including banks and mobile operators.

FTN supports secure access to both public and private sector e-services, facilitating activities such as online banking, tax filing, and healthcare services. By speeding up the authentication process, FTN enhances user convenience and promotes digital service adoption across the country.

Compliance

FTN operates under the Finnish Act on Strong Electronic Identification and Electronic Signatures, aligning with the European Union's eIDAS Regulation.

It provides high-assurance electronic identification methods that meet the standards for Advanced Electronic Signatures (AdES).

While FTN itself does not issue Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES), it facilitates secure authentication processes that can be integrated with QES services provided by qualified trust service providers.
