Authentication service of the Swiss authorities AGOV
AGOV is a project that makes the login functionalities of the CH-LOGIN of the federal administration, which has existed for many years, accessible to all administrative levels in Switzerland (municipalities, cities, cantons, federal government) (previously only the federal government) and forms an identity network together with cantonal identity providers (e.g. a cantonal electronic identity) and the SWITCH edu-ID. In future, the state-recognised e-ID will be approved as proof of identification for the login process.
The measure is intended to make the interoperability of the authorities' logins, including possibilities for a future state E-ID, tangible. The primary objective is to reduce barriers to digital cooperation (e-government). This is to be achieved with an identity network. This will benefit Digital Switzerland because e-government will become easier and the E-ID can be used immediately from its launch.
Digital Public Services Switzerland (DPSS) has the lead role and is administratively affiliated with the GS-EFD.
