Registered providers of qualified trust services

Trust service providers (TSPs) that wish to initiate a qualified electronic trust service (eTS) must notify the Norwegian Communications Authority (Nkom). A TSP cannot issue qualified trust services before the Nkom verifies that they comply with the requirements in the Act on electronic trust services, and adds them in the national trusted list (TL) with qualified status as qualified trust service providers (QTSPs).

The following QTSPs are included in the trusted list of Norway with qualified status:

Centrally stored solution

The NNkom has accepted that a centrally stored solution can satisfy the requirements for qualified certificates provided that it is ensured that only the holder of the certificate has access to the private key and that only the holder can use the key. These are absolute requirements. The certification authority must therefore not have any ability to obtain access to the private key and must not be able to copy this. If the private key is damaged or lost, the signature can no longer be used and the certificate must be withdrawn. The Nkom has found that such a solution is within the requirements in Section 14 of the Electronic Signatures Act.

BankID for mobile phones

BankID for mobile phones is a solution for electronic identification and signing for which the private key is stored in the mobile phone's SIM card. BankID for mobile phones requires a separate PIN code to gain access to the private key and can only be used through a defined security channel. BankID for mobile phones was developed by the banks in cooperation with Telenor and was launched in March 2009.

RA (Registration Authority) for Norsk BankID

The Registration Authority (RA) for Norsk BankID has the following functions:

Verify and confirm the identity of private customers.
Gather and send information to the provider about the customer that is necessary for being able to issue a BankID certificate.
Arrange to use or issue a correct unique standard to identify certificate holders/customers.
Guide and assist the private customer in the registration process.
Arrange for key generation in the central key storage.
Have the ability to initiate blocking of certificates.
Comply with requirements in relevant parts of certificate policy for BankID and certificate practices for providers in addition to other relevant documents for BankID.
