We have updated our Terms of Use and will now apply them to new users. The main changes are:

- Incorporation of the amended legal basis (EU: Regulation 2024/1183 Amendments to eIDAS)

- Clarification of the maximum validity of an identification (5 years maximum)
- Adjusted links to the repository
- Note that one-shot signatures are also possible without using an authentication method due to the change in legislation
- Inclusion of other means of authentication in the examples, e.g. passkey
- Clarification of the exclusion of risks in the peripheral system (Internet, SMS)
- Information and request to subscribe to the status page in order to be informed about changes to terms of use, incidents, etc.
- Inclusion of the terms of use in simple language
