    • Optional: Generate an activation code and unlock PIN
  • Sign the identity record according to the XMLDSig standard 1 with an RO certificate (RO = Registration Officer) from A-Trust
  • Encrypt the identity record as described in section Encryption.
  • Transmit the identity record and the symmetric key to the A-Trust web service, as described in section Web Service.
  • The web service returns the link for redirection to the activation process.
