Identity interface and Identity record

caution

This interface is only for identity providers that are certified according to eIDAS requirements as an identity provider.

Identity interface of A-Trust for issuing a qualified certificate.

To use the interface, an authentication certificate is required, which can be obtained from A-Trust after conclusion of the legal agreement.

Overview

The identity interface is the implementation of the concept "E-Identity Confirmation for BK Activation", by Herbert Leitold, Reinhard Posch and Thomas Rössler 1.

Based on this concept, A-Trust has implemented a web service that receives and verifies electronically signed and encrypted identity confirmations (IdentRecords). In the next step, a qualified signature product is issued based on these IdentRecords.

This document describes the web service, the schema for an identity record, and the test environment provided by A-Trust.
