säieID

säieID is a digital identity solution developed by the Finnish company Fida. It aims to provide a secure and convenient way for individuals to manage their digital credentials and authenticate themselves across various online services. The system is built on principles of privacy and user control, allowing individuals to decide what information they share and with whom.

The core functionality of säieID involves the creation and management of a secure digital wallet where users can store verified identity attributes. These attributes can include personal information, qualifications, or other relevant data. When interacting with a service that requires authentication, the user can selectively present the necessary attributes from their säieID wallet, rather than sharing a broad set of personal details. This selective disclosure mechanism is a key feature designed to enhance privacy.

Fida emphasizes that säieID adheres to strong security standards and complies with relevant data protection regulations. The technology behind säieID is designed to be interoperable with different systems and platforms, facilitating its adoption across a range of digital environments. Users typically access and manage their säieID through a dedicated mobile application. The long-term goal of säieID is to simplify and secure online interactions, reducing the need for multiple usernames and passwords and giving individuals greater ownership over their digital identity.
