An overview document that describes the different parts of the Swedish eID Framework.
Introduction to the Swedish eID Framework (in English)
Tekniskt ramverk - Introduktion (in Swedish)
This is the main specification for the Swedish eID Framework. It defines a SAML profile including metadata, request- and response processing as well as extensions for signature services.
This document defines the structure for identifiers assigned by the Swedish Agency for Digital Government (DIGG) and provides a registry for assigned identifiers.
This document specifies an attribute profile for the Swedish eID Framework. The attribute profile defines attributes for use within the Swedish eID Framework, and a number of defined attribute sets that may be referenced by other documents as means to specify specific attribute release requirements.
This specification contains the Entity Category definitions that are defined for the Swedish eID Framework and that should be supported by Service Providers and Identity Providers that are part of the federation.
This document specifies an implementation profile for exchange of sign requests and responses using the OASIS DSS protocol, enhanced by the DSS Extensions for Federated Central Signing Services.
07 - Implementation Profile for using DSS in Central Signing Services
This document specifies a certificate profile for certificates issued by a signature service.
This specification defines elements that extend the <dss:SignRequest> and <dss:SignResponse> elements of the OASIS DSS protocol.
Current version is deprecated. Currently the Swedish eID Framework does not impose any requirements on how service discovery should be performed.
Work is ongoing to present an updated specification for discovery.
This document extends “Attribute Specification for the Swedish eID Framework”, providing specifications for constructed attributes.
The concept of constructed attributes is introduced in Swedish national authentication nodes (proxy nodes) delivering identity assertions to Swedish Service Providers based on user authentication with a foreign eID.
11 - eIDAS Constructed Attributes Specification for the Swedish eID Framework
Implementation profile for Identity Providers implementing BankID support.
This document specifies a Signature Activation Protocol (SAP) and its data elements for implementation of Sole Control Assurance Level 2 (SCAL2) according the European standards prEN 419241 - Trustworthy Systems Supporting Server Signing.
This specification defines an element that may be included in the Extensions element of a SAML AuthnRequest where the requesting Service Provider can specify matching criteria that may be used by the Identity Provider to select the particular user that should be authenticated.
