Swedish state eID

What is SverigeID and how do you connect your services?
SverigeID, also written Sverige ID, is the state eID being developed by the Swedish Police Authority. Fortified ID Access supports SverigeID sign-in through Sweden Connect’s OIDC federation and connects it to your existing application integrations.

Introduce SverigeID and keep your application integrations
A municipality, region or government agency wants to offer sign-in with the Swedish state eID SverigeID in its digital services while continuing to use existing applications and sign-in solutions. Access brings SverigeID support together so the organisation can introduce another eID without building a separate integration in every application.
Reuse SAML and OIDC
Access passes the user’s identity to connected applications through protocols such as SAML or OIDC. The organisation’s existing application integrations can be reused.
Coordinate your sign-in methods
SverigeID can be offered alongside other methods in Access, with control over sign-in flows, identity information and access requirements.
Brokering
Bring integrations together with brokering
Connect your digital services to Access through existing SAML or OIDC integrations. Access handles the Sweden Connect connection for SverigeID alongside other eIDs.

OIDC for sign-in. Federation for trust.
OpenID Connect (OIDC) handles sign-in. OpenID Federation establishes trust between participants through signed metadata and trust chains. This federation layer makes OIDC part of a shared ecosystem.
SverigeID is being developed by the Swedish Police Authority and will connect through Sweden Connect using OpenID Connect. An existing SAML connection to Sweden Connect therefore needs to be extended. Access can still reuse SAML integrations with your applications.
