L\u2019autorizzazione porter\u00e0 un\u2019ulteriore semplificazione nell\u2019esperienza d\u2019uso dei clienti finali dei servizi Intesa<\/span><\/em><\/h2>

Turin, 30 May 2023 – <\/b>Intesa, a Kyndryl Group company with 35 years\u2019 operating experience in digital transformation and a leading provider of qualified trust services in Italy and across Europe, has now been authorised by the Ministry of the Interior and the State Polygraphic Institute to use digital identity cards (CIEs) with level 2 security in its identification services and for issuing qualified digital signature certificates.<\/span><\/p>

As a CIE service provider, Intesa been authorised to offer digital signature access as part of its services since April 2022, when CIE was only available with Level 3 security, requiring a physical ID card for NFC. The addition of Level 2 security (equating to Level of Assurance 2 – Substantial), established by Ministerial Decree on 8 September 2023 (Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Innovation, Technology and Digital Transformation and Ministry of Economy and Finance), therefore represents a considerable improvement in the digital signature user experience and brings it in line with that of SPID (Italy\u2019s public digital ID system), requiring username, password and OTP but retaining the robust security of the issue-and-activate process of a digital signature.<\/span><\/p>

Intesa has obtained the authority to include Level 2 digital signatures in its services within months of the decree. It is one of the first private companies to offer CIEs and is ahead of any public administration departments, endorsing Intesa\u2019s continuing commitment and investment in digital identities for trust services. Digital signatures for identification and authentication purposes are already available through Intesa’s services, and this new authorisation means users will benefit from further simplification.<\/span><\/p>

“In May 2023 already, around one million more CIEs have been issued than SPIDs,” says Matteo Panfilo, Chief Solution Officer at Intesa. “SPID is still used by most people, but because the September 2022 decree has made it so easy to use, and because it\u2019s already been implemented by the Ministry of the Interior and the Polygraphic Institute, there\u2019s no doubt that there will be a significant increase in the use of CIEs, not just in terms of dissemination but also the frequency of usage. This new authorisation means we can offer advanced identification solutions in line with current regulations, and above all offer users the best processes in terms of user experience with no compromise on security.”<\/span><\/p>

\u201cDigital identities are obviously undergoing a revolution in Italy and across Europe,\u201d says Giuseppe Mariani, General Manager at Intesa. “It\u2019s not just about anticipating the material effects that the revolution will have on the way people use their digital identity; we believe it\u2019s our duty, as a company and as a B Corp, to provide increasingly simple, enjoyable experiences and contribute to the dissemination of these innovative tools.”<\/span><\/p>
