Turvallisuustunnukseen

Turvallisuustunnukseen refers to a confidence or trust token in the context of information security and data protection. In Finland, turvallisuustunnuksella is a term used to describe a secure token used by individuals to access government services and public sector agencies securely online.

The turvallisuustunnuksella is a two-factor authentication system, which verifies the user's identity through a combination of something they know, something they have, and something they are. In this system, users are issued a unique turvallisuustunnuksella card, which is used in conjunction with a personal identifying number (henkilötunnus) and a PIN or smart card.

Upon initial registration, users receive a secret key that is used to create the turvallisuustunnuksella card. Once the card is linked with the user's identifying number, users can access various secure government services online. Various organizations within the Finnish public sector, including city councils, tax offices, and the National Police Board, accept turvallisuustunnuksella as a form of secure online identification.

The use of turvallisuustunnuksella provides organizations and users an added layer of security, reducing the risk of online phishing and hacking, while also providing an efficient and convenient method to access sensitive services. The turvallisuustunnuksella card must be kept secure at all times, as a lost or stolen card may be used to maliciously gain access to sensitive information. Overall, turvallisuustunnuksella serves as a secure and reliable means of verifying user identities.
