Swisscom shops still open for identification
14. January 2021, SwitzerlandDespite the closure of the shops in Switzerland, the Swisscom shops remain open and with them the possibility to register for the electronic signature. Unfortunately, due to the Corona measures, registrations are no longer possible. https://srsident.trustservices.swisscom.com/srs-direct/ . Swisscom has also asked Bakom to make other identification measures possible again.

New release to fix the problem with PAdES validators
25. February 2021, worldwideThere was a problem with some PAdES checkers that the attribute RevocationInfoArchival (Adobe OID 1.2.840.113583.1.1.8) was not accepted. Besides a discussion at https://github.com/lovele0107/signatures-conformance-checker/issues/5, we have now defined a new signature standard "PAdES-baseline" that returns OCSP and CRL information as separate elements in the signature response. In the signature application, the signature client must then compose the information for an LTV signature in order to comply with the PAdES Baseline B-LT(A) standard. Error messages in the known PAdES checkers (e.g. https://signatures-conformance-checker.etsi.org) should thus be disappear. The new signature standard will be implemented on Wednesday Feb. 24th, 2021. The new Reference Guide documentation is already available: http://documents.swisscom.com/product/1000255-Digital_Signing_Service/Documents/Reference_Guide/Reference_Guide-All-in-Signing-Service-en.pdf . Changes concern the chapters:
- 5.1.5.2 Signature Standard
- 5.1.5.5 Add Revocation Information
- 5.8.5 (new chapter)
- 6 (new chapter)
Disturbances under heavy load
05. - 26. February 2021, worldwideWe observe in the last days very isolated disturbances under heavy load of users using the template functionality for signing requests. We will work on our load balancing system next week which will overcome these disturbances.
Migration CA4
19. February 2021, worldwideBefore we will migrate the productive accounts in March 2021 (we will inform you personally about this) we have already migrated the test accounts as follows:
RA App or Smart Registration Service Identification and 2-Factor Authentication
Intentional use: Intended standard procedure when using the RA app or Smart Registration Service for qualified or advanced signature in combination with Mobile ID, Mobile ID Authenticator App or PWD/OTP expression of will. The All-in Signing Service automatically detects whether a mobile phone number (e.g. also foreign mobile IDs) is capable to use Mobile ID or Mobile ID Authenticator App and then selects the corresponding procedure.
Access to the test account jurisdiction CH (ZertES) with the following claimed ID:
ais-90days trial-withRAservice:OnDemand-Advanced4
Access to the test account jurisdiction EU (eIDAS) with the following claimed ID:
ais-90days-trial-withRAservice:OnDemand-Advanced-EU
Own Registration Method with Mobile ID/Mobile ID Authenticator App/Fallback PWD/OTP
Intentional use: No RA app or Smart Registration Service is used for identification, or you do not want test without identification of the RA app or Smart Registration Service during the test phase but first test the signature capability only. Signature release is based on 2 factors (Mobile ID or Mobile ID Authenticator App with fallback to PWD/OTP) as required for qualified signatures. The All-in Signing Service automatically detects whether a mobile phone number (e.g. also foreign mobile IDs) is capable for Mobile ID or Mobile ID Authenticator App and then selects the corresponding procedure.
Access to the test account jurisdiction CH (ZertES) with the following claimed ID:
ais-90days-trial:OnDemand-Advanced4
Access to the test account jurisdiction EU (eIDAS) with the following claimed ID:
ais-90days-trial:OnDemand-Advanced-EU
Own Registration Method with Session Token/OTP only
Intentional use: The easiest and fastest way to test the connection to the All-in-signing service. No RA app or Smart Registration Service is used for identification, or you do not want test without identification of the RA app or Smart Registration Service during the test phase and first test the signature connection only. A 1-factor procedure (SMS with one-time password) is used for signature release, which would only be suitable for the use of advanced signatures. Or you plan to use another second factor.
Access to the test account jurisdiction CH (ZertES) with the following claimed ID:
ais-90days-trial-OTP:OnDemand-Advanced4
Access to the test account jurisdiction EU (eIDAS) with the following claimed ID:
ais-90days-trial-OTP:OnDemand-Advanced-EU
Seals for Switzerland
Intentional use: Possibility to test the access to seals for Swiss jurisdiction.
Access to the test account with the following claimed ID:
ais-90days-trial: static-saphir4-ch
Seals for EU
Intentional use: Possibility to test the access to seals for EU jurisdiction.
Access to the test account with the following claimed ID:
ais-90days-trial: static-saphir4-eu
Timestamps for Switzerland/EU
Intentional use: Possibility to test the access to timestamps for Swiss and EU jurisdiction
Access to the test account with the following claimed ID:
ais-90days-trial

SRS, RA-Service, Docusign: Adaptation of the TLS connections
29. October 2020, worldwideCompany Swisscom will change its TLS protocols and will no longer support unsecure TLS protocol versions and cryptographic processes. The change will take place on Oct. 29th, 2020 at 10pm. The following will change:
- No longer support of TLS Version 1.0
- No longer support of TLS Version 1.1
- No longer support of following TLS-Version 1.2-Cryptography:
- AES256-GCM-SHA384
- AES256-SHA256
- AES256-SHA
- AES128-GCM-SHA256
- AES128-SHA256
- AES128-SHA
Please check your TLS connections to us! This is the new configuration with the remaining supported chiffres after the change:

Certificate updates
Swisscom Timestamp now Qualified for eIDAS
23. December 2020, worldwideThe regulatory supervisory body RTR in Austria informed us today that the Telekom Control Commission has decided that Swisscom can also offer the time stamp as qualified for eIDAS.
NEW: The qualified timestamp is now published in the eIDAS trust list officially.
New CA4 in October
15. February 2021, SwitzerlandThe new CA4
The new rules and regulations require certification service providers and trust service providers to use better algorithms to ensure the trustworthiness of signatures in the future. Swisscom will first replace the root certificate authority instance (CA) for Switzerland (CH jurisdiction) and later also for the EU (eIDAS jurisdiction), thereby adapting the entire certificate chain and providing for the new algorithms. This concern, on the one hand, the so-called "padding algorithm" which will switch from currently SASSA-PKCS1 v1_5 to RSASSA-PSS, and on the other hand the key length, which will be increased from 2048 to 3072.
What are the implications?
- The size of the signature in the signed document changes, i.e. the signature takes up more space. Since signature applications make estimates to the best of their knowledge of how much space a signature requires, it may be that this estimate is no longer correct and therefore a signature is no longer possible.
- If you use standard applications that display trusted signatures, such as Adobe Reader, the latter will continue to trust the signatures. However, if you have special applications that first require the root certificate of the certificate chain for trustworthiness, you must reinstall it.
When will the changes take effect?
We are planning a changeover in quarter I/II 2021. In addition to the existing account ("ClaimedID") we will issue a new ClaimedID based on the new certificate chain to customers. After 2-3 months we will switch off the old ClaimedIDs. In this respect, it is possible to test and switch individually during this period of time.
What do you need to do?
If you are the developer of the signature application you are using, you should observe the notes on the development information page https://github.com/SCS-CBU-CED-IAM/AIS/wiki/Swisscom-CA-4 . Otherwise, you should inform the partner which provided you with the signature application. At the same time, however, we will also inform all our partners.
We will inform you with further details in February 2021.
