Question 1

Is my e-ID secure?

Accepted Answer

There is no such thing as 100% security, either in the analogue or the digital world. The federal government does its utmost to protect your data wherever possible with all the currently available security measures. The e-ID has been developed and is operated according to the current state of the art and international standards. The source code for the various e-ID systems is publicly accessible and can be checked by anyone who is interested. The e-ID Act is formulated in a technology-neutral way and allows for the constant adaptation of the e-ID to keep it in line with technological developments.No solution found? Submit your question.

Question 2

Can my e-ID be misused?

Accepted Answer

Anyone who wants to misuse your e-ID would have to get their hands on your smartphone and then be able to unlock both the phone and your app. This means that as the holder of your e-ID, you must ensure that no one gains unauthorised access to your smartphone and that the software on your smartphone is always up to date. If there is any uncertainty, you can have your e-ID blocked immediately at any time.No solution found? Submit your question.
