To help combat this, the Sandbox of Trust has designed a mobile authentication app which is available to everyone. Through the service, citizens and foreigners can easily login to digital services with strong authentication measures.
The app, SisuID, will be implemented by the end of 2019. Costs for the community model will be based through a membership fee, as opposed to a transaction fee.

Nixu head of digital business Joonatan Henriksson said, “The Sandbox of Trust initiative creates the SisuID solution quickly with the help of pilot projects. Actors from both the private and public sectors are already involved in testing their requirements for the new authentication application. We will still bring along a few actors who want to grow their own digital competitiveness quickly with a more user-friendly authentication.”
