DigiDocService will be replaced by the new Mobile-ID REST API

09.07.2019

All new e-services that wish to enable their customers to use Mobile-ID for authentication and signing will have to integrate their e-service or application with Mobile-ID’s REST API service.

For the moment, the change will only affect new customers joining the Mobile-ID service who, as of June 2019, are only able to integrate using Mobile-ID’s REST API since SK ID Solutions is no longer supporting integrating DigiDocService (DDS).

Those e-services that are currently using DigiDocService for signing or validating digital signatures will have the following options available:

  1. DigiDoc libraries: DigiDoc4j and LibDigiDocpp;
  1. Signature Gateway (SiGa) for digital signing;
  2. Signature Validation (SiVa) service for validating digital signatures.

Alternatively, third-party services, such as Dokobit.com and DigitalMind SigningServices, are also available for both signing and validating digital signatures.

The Mobile-ID REST API, which enables customers to add Mobile-ID authentication and signing support to their e-services, is simpler than the previously used DigiDocService, based on the microservices architecture, and its functionality is better concentrated.

Technical information about the MID REST API is available here.
