Employees and students in University of Helsinki use various services which require authentication. Some of these services require strong authentication. Traditionally this has been realized by meeting in person and presenting an official identification card. Some of these online services can be automatized by implementing existing techniques for strong authentication. Currently strong authentication is implemented by VETUMA-service. Mobile authentication is interesting alternative method.
