WISeKey Launches an
Upgraded Version of its WISeID Digital
Identity and
Privacy
Platform
Geneva and Zug Switzerland – June 29, 2023 – WISeKey
International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”, SIX: WIHN; Nasdaq: WKEY), a
global leader in cybersecurity, digital identity, and Internet of
Things (IoT) solutions, announced today a major upgrade to its
innovative digital identity and privacy platform, WISeID.com,
designed to provide users with enhanced protection against identity
theft and increase privacy in today's hyper-connected digital
world.
The new generation of WISeID builds upon
WISeKey’s tradition of pioneering advanced cybersecurity solutions
and introduces a suite of significant improvements to further
secure users' digital identities and personal data.
NEW FREE IDENTITY VALIDATION:
Now all WISeID users can verify their real identity using the
computer or phone webcam to capture an identity document (National
ID, Driver License, or Passports of most countries are accepted)
and do face recognition.
NEW TYPES OF CERTIFICATES:
users can now get digital certificates with different validation
levels:
- Free
Certificates. All users can get free basic certificates,
which only contain the email address and are valid for three
months.
- Basic
Certificates. Users can activate an optional subscription
for basic certificates with a validity of two years.
- Advanced
Certificates. This subscription will allow users to get
certificates that also contain additional information such as name
and country, to provide assurance to other people when sending a
mail or signing a document. This service requires users to verify
their real identity with our new KYC process.
- Advanced
PRO Certificates. These certificates will also contain the
company information and are suitable for professional use. This
requires fulfilling an organization validation process, done by
WISeKey.
NEW DOCUMENT SIGNATURE SERVICE:
WISeID users now benefit of a free document signature solution.
Users can simply sign a PDF document from their computer or mobile,
without having to worry about creating and installing certificates
in their devices. Our platform generates automatically, and
securely single-use certificates whenever is needed to sign a
document. The person that signs up can do it for free, and the only
requirement is to have a valid WISeID Account and validate their
identity.
NEW CORPORATE SERVICE:
Companies willing to provide WISeID services to employees or
customers can get a corporate account, which gives administrative
access to create users and manage their certificates. Corporate
users don’t need to do individual identity verification. Corporate
customers can also get WISeSign packages that can be shared by all
the users to request signatures.
“Our goal is to make available our new security
services to all WISeID users,” said Pedro Fuentes, WISeKey’s Trust
Services Manager. “This latest update is a leap forward in that
mission. We have strengthened our existing free features and added
new premium services that will allow users to protect their digital
life.”
Privacy is at the core of the new WISeID. Users
now have increased control over their personal information,
choosing who they share it with and when. Furthermore, an
innovative data anonymization feature ensures user activities
cannot be traced back to them, further safeguarding their
privacy.
Mr. Fuentes added, "We have always believed in
the power of technology to protect and empower individuals in the
digital realm. With the new WISeID, we are taking another step in
ensuring our users can enjoy the benefits of digital connectivity
without compromising their privacy or falling prey to identity
theft."
WISeID is now available for both new and
existing users. With this latest upgrade, WISeID continues to lead
the way in the evolution of digital security, ensuring that digital
identities remain secure and private in an increasingly connected
world.
