Currently, there is no widely recognized digital identity in Switzerland. However, various efforts have been made to raise digital awareness and create a generally accepted digital identity. Under the Federal Act on Electronic Identification Services, private providers (supervised by the federal administration) were required to provide digital identities; however, the Act was rejected in a public vote on 7 March 2021. A revised project is currently being prepared by the Federal Administration. Although, on 22 November 2017, two private project groups (from Swiss Federal Railways and the postal service, Swiss Post; and from the former state telecoms company and two major banks, UBS and Credit Suisse) announced that they would join forces and set up a private provider under the name of Swiss-Sign), no widely accepted Swiss e-ID has yet been established.1
The Swiss have recognized for some time that an electronic signature guarantees the authenticity of a document, a message, or other electronic data and confirms the identity of the signer.1
