A smart card authentication solution was developed, solving reliability issues and ensuring compatibility with the Estonian national ID card, while minimizing costs through the use of existing drivers and software.
Krediidipank is a universal bank in Estonia. We required a secure yet convenient method that our customers could use to log in to our online bank, and our choice came to a smart card based solution. Sadly, the first implementation proved to be cumbersome for customers and did not excel at reliability. At this point, we started to work with Trüb AG, a Swiss identity and security company, and RaulWalter.
Within a couple of months, we had the new smart card authentication solution up and running. Since it is compatible with the Estonian national ID-card, we can use the same drivers and software, which means that the implementation is largely kept up to date without additional costs to our organisation, and that possible security issues would be promptly addressed.
Thanks to RaulWalter and Trüb AG, we successfully implemented a reliable and secure smart card authentication solution, seamlessly integrated with the Estonian national ID card and ensuring ongoing cost-effective updates.
