An amendment to the law concerning electronic identification and electronic signatures was proposed on Thursday. The intention is that the law shall come into effect on 1 May 2015, said an official press release.
The bill is based on the government programme entry by which a national electronic identification solution shall be implemented during the term of the present government. The purpose is also to harmonize Finnish regulation with the requirements of the EU.
A network of trust based on identification services is created in the government proposal which would function in the background of such services provided for citizens.
In practice, the network of trust operates so that the electronic service provider makes an agreement with one of the electronic service providers that belong to the network, thereby obtaining all the customers of the identification service providers comprised within the network.
The amendment to the law does not immediately have any impact on the use of citizens' electronic identification services.
The current identification tools shall also function in the future.
The main objective of the amendment is to create the prerequisites for the development of electronic identification services and technologies in addition to the development of the market.
