WISeKey Launches an Upgraded Version of its WISeID Digital Identity and Privacy Platform

Geneva and Zug Switzerland – June 29, 2023 – WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”, SIX: WIHN; Nasdaq: WKEY), a global leader in cybersecurity, digital identity, and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, announced today a major upgrade to its innovative digital identity and privacy platform, WISeID.com, designed to provide users with enhanced protection against identity theft and increase privacy in today's hyper-connected digital world.

The new generation of WISeID builds upon WISeKey’s tradition of pioneering advanced cybersecurity solutions and introduces a suite of significant improvements to further secure users' digital identities and personal data.

NEW FREE IDENTITY VALIDATION: Now all WISeID users can verify their real identity using the computer or phone webcam to capture an identity document (National ID, Driver License, or Passports of most countries are accepted) and do face recognition.

NEW TYPES OF CERTIFICATES: users can now get digital certificates with different validation levels:

• Free Certificates. All users can get free basic certificates, which only contain the email address and are valid for three months.
• Basic Certificates. Users can activate an optional subscription for basic certificates with a validity of two years.
• Advanced Certificates. This subscription will allow users to get certificates that also contain additional information such as name and country, to provide assurance to other people when sending a mail or signing a document. This service requires users to verify their real identity with our new KYC process.
• Advanced PRO Certificates. These certificates will also contain the company information and are suitable for professional use. This requires fulfilling an organization validation process, done by WISeKey.

NEW DOCUMENT SIGNATURE SERVICE: WISeID users now benefit of a free document signature solution. Users can simply sign a PDF document from their computer or mobile, without having to worry about creating and installing certificates in their devices. Our platform generates automatically, and securely single-use certificates whenever is needed to sign a document. The person that signs up can do it for free, and the only requirement is to have a valid WISeID Account and validate their identity.
