WISeKey's Identity Semantics Suite enables pan-European eID interoperability with Microsoft's Citizen Services Platform

Geneva, Switzerland/Redmond, USA (ots)

WISeKey today announced
its partnership with Microsoft to deploy its Identity Semantics Suite
with Microsoft's Citizen Services Platform (CSP). The combination 
makes it easy for local, regional and national governments to deal 
with the complexity of identity systems and identity credentials that
they are or will be required to accept as part of, for example, the 
European Services Directive (requiring a one-stop-shop treatment for 
businesses through electronic means). Citizens and enterprises will 
be able to use existing or new electronic identity credentials that 
are legally accepted, to transact across borders with governments.
WISeKey and Microsoft are enabling the "Diputación Federal de 
Biscaya" in Spain to take this game-changing approach to their 
Citizen Services Platform. "Governments, enterprises and citizens are
no longer content with simply obtaining information from portals or 
having to download a form, print it and sign it. With WISeKey's 
Identity Semantics Suite and Microsoft's Citizen Service's Platform, 
they can now do everything online and trust that they are legally 
compliant now and in the future. Our Identity Semantics Suite covers 
the full identity and compliance cycle: identify, access, sign, 
encrypt, validate, timestamp, and archive", said Juan Avellan, VP 
Public Sector and Deputy CEO at WISeKey. "We are delighted that our 
long-term collaboration with Microsoft as their Lead eID partner has 
resulted in this success for our customers and allows them to meet 
the 2010 deadline set by the Member States of the European Union.
"We are very pleased to be associated with this exciting 
initiative. We look forward to developing our relationship with 
WISeKey and their leading identity technologies", said Gordon 
Mckenzie, Director of Local and Regional Government for 
Microsoft.
