Electronic ID's may be used for both identification and signature purposes, in particular:
Identification
Fewer usernames and passwords
I want to use my ID in order to access all my information online, no more usernames and passwords!
Simpler accessibility
It is easy for people, companies and institutions to use electronic ID's for further access to information and services.
Increased communication security
Questionable individuals cannot be mistaken for sources, e.g. in chat areas for children and adolescents.
Electronic signature
Save your tracks, time and resources
The holder of an electronic ID can sign a document or an application when it is convenient for them, at home or at any place.
Ensuring data integrity
Any electronically signed document which is altered shall be void.
Traceability of data
It is easy to trace who signed what and when.
Identifying oneself with an electronic ID is equivalent to presenting an ID
An electronic ID can be used for a qualified signature and is equivalent to a signature of its own.
All you need is a phone and a pin
Electronic ID's by phone work in almost all types of phones, whether it is a new smartphone or an older button mobile phone.
You select a PIN that you log on to your phone each time you use your electronic ID. It's as simple as that!
