Why act now
The e-ID is not a distant future – preparation starts before launch, not after.
The e-ID arrives in 2026
The Swiss Confederation launches the state e-ID on the swiyu infrastructure. Those who prepare now will use it productively from day one.
Open standards
DID, OID4VC and SD-JWT VC are set. The swiyu ecosystem builds on open, verifiable standards – no proprietary format.
More than identity
Verifiable credentials also cover powers of attorney, authorizations and diplomas – processes that run on paper and PDF today.
Plan for lead time
Trust registry entry, DID, issuer/verifier and an operating model take time. The early-mover advantage goes to those who start early.
Your path with b-nova
Three steps – from the first reality check to a productive system.
Assess where you stand
The free swiyu Readiness Check shows in 15 minutes whether your e-ID initiative is ready for a decision – including a PDF report with recommendations.
Close the gaps
With the swiyu Readiness Kit we take you from use-case selection through trust registry, DID and Generic Issuer/Verifier to a PoC – in weeks, not months.
Go productive
Security hardening, operating model and handover – or ready-to-use products: Provara for authorizations, Provica for e-ID login.
Four offerings, one goal: e-ID-ready
From a free entry point to a finished platform – start wherever your organization stands.
