1.2 Terms and definition
Term
BankID Security Application
BankID app
Description
The client software that needs to be installed in the end users mobile
device or personal computer (PC). The same term is used for PCs and
mobile platforms. BankID app is the short form used in this document.
In Swedish the client software installed on PCs is called “BankID
säkerhetsprogram”.
In Swedish the client software installed on mobile platforms is called
“BankID säkerhetsapp”
RP
Relying Party that uses the BankID web service to provide login and
signing functionality to the end user.
1.3 How it Works
To be able to use BankID’s identification and signature features users must install BankID Security
Application (the BankID app) in a mobile device or PC. They also need to order a BankID from their
bank.An RP uses the identification or signature service of BankID via a web service API provided by BankID
(see Appendix: RP Interface Description). The web service API can only be accessed by an RP that has a
valid SSL client certificate (an RP certificate). The RP certificate is obtained from the bank that the RP has
purchased the BankID service from.
If the BankID app is installed in the same device as the RP service executes in, the BankID app can be
launched automatically by the RP service. In this case the users do not need to enter their ID number in the
RP service. If, on the other hand, the RP service is used in a web browser on a PC and the users want to use a
Mobile BankID the users will have to manually launch the BankID app in their mobile device. In this case the
users need to provide their ID number in the RP service.
1.4 BankID on file and BankID on smart cards
This section includes general information for RP’s that have used BankID on file and BankID on smart cards
via the old BankID browser plugin solution. Some of the simplifications and changes are:







Installation and version control of the BankID app does not need to be done by the RP. The version
control is performed within the BankID system. If the user has not installed the BankID app a
special status will be returned via the RP-interface.
BankID Control Server is no longer needed. The signature and all other controls are done within the
BankID system.
There is no need to have different code for different browsers to start the BankID app.
Instead of using the plugins or activeX controls in the BankID app to authenticate the user and let
the user sign, the RP uses web services provided by BankID.
The RP interface has support for all different types of BankID (BankID on file, BankID on smart
cards and Mobile BankID). If an RP only wants to support BankID on file or BankID on smart cards
or Mobile BankID they need to use the requirementalternatives parameter to specify this (the
certificatePolicies should be set to 1.2.752.78.1.1 and/or 1.2.752.78.1.2 and/or 1.2.752.78.1.5).
Support for Nordea e-legitimation is included in the system.
The filter parameter is replaced with requirementalternatives. See RequirementAlternativesType for
more information.

BankID Relying Party Guidelines
Version: 2.7
1.5 Mobile BankID
This section includes a description for RPs’ that have used previous versions of the RP interface (which
supported Mobile BankID only). Some of the changes are:

The new RP interface has support for all different types of BankID (BankID on file, BankID on
smart cards and Mobile BankID). If RP only wants to support Mobile BankID they need to use the
requirementalternatives parameter to specify this (the certificatePolicies should be set to
1.2.752.78.1.5).
The sign and authenticate methods returns an orderResponse which contains the orderReference.
Users do not need to enter their ID number to sign or login. For this to work the BankID app must be
started using the autoStartToken which is returned in the orderResponse.
The following status and error codes are changed:
o “SIGN_VALIDATION_FAILED” and “INVALID_DEVICESW” is replaced with
“CLIENT_ERR”.
o “CLIENT_ERR” is a new error indicating various problems with the client.
o “UNKNOWN_USER” is deprecated.
o “ALREADY_COLLECTED” is replaced with “INVALID_PARAMETERS”.
o “TIME_BLOCKED” was not used in previous version and is now deprecated.
o “START_FAILED” is a new error used if auto start with autostarttoken fails.
o “CERTIFICATE_ERR” is a new error indicating that the BankID is expired or revoked.

1.6 Client Platforms
BankID is supported in PCs running Windows, Mac OS X, mobile phones and tablet computers running
Android and iOS and mobile phones running Windows Phone 8. Up to date information on platform support

Use Cases
There are a number of use cases that can be implemented using the new BankID solution. In this document
we describe the most common use cases to keep it simple and to give the reader a basic understanding of the
solution.



If the BankID app is installed on the same device the user uses to access the service the RP should help
the user to start the BankID app automatically. A description is found in Launching. In this case the
users do not need to provide their ID number.
If the BankID app is installed on another device the users must provide their ID number and manually
start the BankID app.
If the BankID app is installed on the same device the user uses to access the service, but the BankID
app cannot be automatically started, the user must provide their ID number and manually start the
BankID app on the same device. RP:s should consider this use case as a fallback in case the automatic
start fails.
BankID
Page 7(27)
BankID Relying Party Guidelines
Version: 2.7
To make the user experience consistent the RP must use the recommended messages and error messages in
Recommended User Messages.
The possibilities to restrict the types of BankID that can be used and how to define other requirements are
described in RequirementAlternativesType.
2.1 Basic Use cases
The following basic use cases exist:
A. The user access the service using a browser on a personal computer. Users should be asked if they want
to login or sign using “BankID on this computer” or “Mobile BankID”. Message RFA19 should be used.
a. Users that select to use BankID on this computer does not need to enter their ID number and the
RP must start the BankID app on the computer.
b. Users that select Mobile BankID must enter their ID number and the RP must give the
instruction to manually start the BankID app on their mobile device.
B. The user access the service using a browser on a mobile device. Users should be asked if they want to
login or sign using “Mobile BankID on this device” or “Mobile BankID on another device”. Message
RFA20 should be used.
a. Users that select to use this device do not need to enter their ID number and the RP must start
the BankID app on the mobile device.
b. Users that select to use another device must enter their ID number and the RP must give the
instruction to manually start the BankID app on the other device.
C. The user access the service using a native app on a mobile device. In this case the user most likely wants
to use a BankID on the same device. The RP may however provide possibilities to use another device in
this case as well.
a. The users do not need to enter their ID number and the RP app launches BankID App
programmatically (see Native App on Mobile Device).
b. Users that select to use another device must enter their ID number and the RP App must give the
instruction to manually start the BankID app on the other device.
In some cases it may be impossible to automatically start the BankID app. The reason could be browsers
blocking it or that the RP app does not have the capabilities to launch external URL:s. In this case the users
always can start the BankID app manually. In this case the users need to enter their ID number.
2.2 Flow of events

2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Users that select “another device” are asked to enter their ID number if it’s not already saved or
known by the RP.
The RP uses the Authenticate or Sign call of the web service API. The web service returns an
autoStartToken and an orderReference.
If the user selected “another device” RP should set condition “certificatePolicies” to
“1.2.752.78.1.5” to restrict the transaction to mobile devices only.
If the user selected “same device” the RP tries to start the BankID app. The autoStartToken must be
used in the start command if the ID number is not provided in the web service call, see Launching.
Once the BankID app has finished execution, focus will be returned to the browser/app.
If the user selected “another device” the RP informs the user to start the BankID app manually.
The RP service displays a progress indicator.
The login or sign transaction is displayed in the BankID app. The RP name (as stated in the RP
certificate) is displayed. The user enters personal security code or cancels.
The RP periodically uses the Collect call of the web service API, until a final response is received
and continuously updates the message displayed to the user. See Recommended User Messages.
RP removes the progress indicator.
2.3 Exceptions
1.
2.
3.
The web service call in step 2 fails. The use case is cancelled and the RP shall instruct the user
according to Recommended User Messages. The RP must not try to start the BankID app.
The Collect call in 7 fails. The use case is cancelled and RP shall instruct the user according to
Recommended User Messages.
The automatic start in 3 fails due to different reasons:
o The user has not installed the BankID app
o Erroneous start command
o User did not allow the browser to launch the URL
BankID

Version: 2.7
The web browser will inform the user that the URL cannot be opened. Status “START_FAILED”
will be delivered to the RP as response to the Collect call in 7 if the automatic start of the BankID
app has not been completed within a certain time limit. The RP shall instruct the user according to
Recommended User Messages.
The automatic start in 3 is successful but the user has no BankID of correct type. The BankID app
will display an error message. Status “STARTED” will be delivered to the RP as response to the
Collect call in 7. RP shall instruct the user according to Recommended User Messages.
In step 4, the user fails to manually start the BankID app or no BankID of correct type exists in the
started client. Different status codes will be delivered to RP as response to the Collect call in 7. The
RP shall instruct the user according to Recommended User Messages.
Launching
3.1 Launching the BankID app from a browser
When the BankID app is installed the schema “bankid” is registered in the operating system. When the
bankid schema is requested from the browser the operating system launches the BankID app. The URL works
in Android, iOS and Windows Phone 8 when the built-in web browser is used. The URL works in PCs with
all commonly used browsers. Some differences exist on different platforms.
The URL syntax is:
bankid:///?autostarttoken=[TOKEN]&redirect=[RETURNURL]
Note that the redirect parameter must be last in the parameter list. The autostarttoken, filehash and rpref
parameters are optional.
Note that the parameter names must be lower case.
3.2 How to Start
We recommend using the following technique to start the BankID app from a browser.
1. Make the call to the web service, check the result.
2. Try to start the Bankid app in a frame with zero size.
<iframe src="bankid:///?autostarttoken=[TOKEN]&redirect=[RETURNURL]" height=0 width=0></iframe>"
3.
If the BankID app is not installed the error presented by the browser will be in the zero size window
and not visible for the user.
After 5 seconds display a link or button with the BankID URL. Use text RFA18.
<a href="bankid:///?autostarttoken=[TOKEN]&redirect=[RETURNURL]”>[RFA18]
Using a href this way is the most reliable method to start the BankID app.
If the start in 2 is successful, the link in 3 will be hidden by the BankID app. If the start in 2 is unsuccessful,
the user will have a second chance to start. If the BankID app is started but no matching call to Authenticate
or Sign has been done, an error message will be displayed in the app. To avoid this, we recommend that the
link or button is inactivated immediately after the user presses it.
3.3 Behaviour in Different Browsers
3.3.1 Chrome
In current version of Chrome (version 31) a known problem blocks BankID from being started from a frame.
Using the recommended method above solves the problem, see
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=318788.
3.3.2 Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer manipulates the URL in the redirect parameter. In this specification we state that the
RETURNURL must be URL-encoded. However, Internet Explorer decodes the content prior passing it to the
BankID app. This is why it must be last in the list of parameters. In the same way, Internet Explorer may
decode the content of the RETURNURL when the BankID app passes the return URL back to the browser. If
the RP includes session information that is affected by URL-encoders/decoders problems may occur. It is
recommended to use only URL-encoding safe characters in the parameters.
3.3.3 Parameters in the start URL
Parameter
autostarttoken
Description
Optional.
BankID
BankID Relying Party Guidelines
Page 9(27)
Version: 2.7
Holds the autoStartToken that was returned from the web service call. If the user ID
number was not included in the web service call the autostarttoken must be provided.
We strongly recommend to always use the autostarttoken when the URL is used to start
the client. If it is not included and the user reloads the page or if the page erroneously
repeats the start command the user may get an error claiming that the BankID is
missing. The likelihood of this to happen is reduced if autostarttoken is used.
filehash
redirect
rpref
Deprecated. Optional. Not supported in mobile devices.
Holds a filehash. When a file is signed the RP may provide the SHA256 computed over
the binary file content of the file being signed. The filehash will be compared with the
SHA2 computed over the file content in the file sent to the BankID Server. If the
hashsums differ an error will be returned when collecting the result. If filehash is used,
autostarttoken must be used as well. Hexadecimal number. Note that the fileSign
method is deprecated.
Mandatory.
The BankID app uses the request parameter redirect to launch the RP web app after
completed (including cancelled) authenticate or sign. The redirect URL must be UTF-8
and URL encoded and should match the web address the user is visiting when RP web
app launches the BankID app. It may include parameters to be passed to the browser.
For iOS and Windows Phone the redirect must have a value, but for all other platforms
it may be empty (“redirect=”), or set to “null” (“redirect=null”). If it is empty or null
the BankID app will terminate without launching any URL and the calling application
will be in focus. The general recommendation is to use redirect=null when it is
possible.
Note for Windows and Mac OS X
If redirect has a value the redirect parameter must be used together with autostarttoken.
If autostarttoken is excluded, the content of redirect will be ignored and the behavior
will be as if redirect=null.
Note for Android
If the user has several browsers installed on an Android device the user is sometimes
presented with a question asking what browser to use. BankID recommends that
redirect=null is used on Android. This ensures the user will return to the browser
previously used.
Note for Windows Phone
When the browser on Windows Phone is started from an app it is considered a new
session by the browser, hence any previous transient (session) cookies are unavailable.
RP can use a persistent cookie or the RETURNURL to control the session.
Relying Party Reference. Optional. Not supported in mobile devices.
Any reference the RP wants to use. The value will be included in the resulting
signature. A typical use case is to protect a file when it is transported from a client to a
server (compute hashsum of the file content in the client, include the hashsum as rpref,
compare it (server side) with a hashsum of the file content computed in the server). The
value must be base64 encoded and URL encoded and 8 – 255 bytes (after encoding).
rpref must be used together with autostarttoken. If autostarttoken is excluded, the
content of rpref will be ignored. If the client software version is too old the parameter is
not supported. An error will be displayed in the client.
3.3.3.1 Examples
The RP wants the BankID app to open a browser with the following URL after finishing execution:
https://demo.bankid.com/nyademobanken/CavaClientRedirReceiver.aspx?orderRef=bedea56d-7b46-47b1890b-f787c650bc93&returnUrl=./CavaClientAuth.aspx&Environment=Kundtest. The autostarttoken is
included. The start URL is:
bankid:///?autostarttoken=a4904c4c-3bb4-4e3f-8ac3-0e950e529e5f&
redirect=https%3a%2f%2fdemo.bankid.com%2fnyademobanken%2fCavaClientRedirReceiver.aspx%3forder
Ref%3dbedea56d-7b46-47b1-890bf787c650bc93%26returnUrl%3d.%2fCavaClientAuth.aspx%26Environment%3dKundtest

Version: 2.7
3.4 Launching the BankID app from Native App on Mobile Device
3.4.1 Android
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setPackage("com.bankid.bus");
intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("bankid:///?autostarttoken=<INSERT
AUTOSTARTTOKEN HERE>&redirect=null ")) ;
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
In Android, the RP app does not need to register a URL scheme to be successfully re-launched by the BankID
app. onResume() will be called when RP app is re-launched.
If the BankID app is not present on the device an
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException is thrown. RP must inform the user. Message
RFA2 should be used.
3.4.2 iOS
openURL:[NSURL URLWithString: @”bankid:///?
autostarttoken=<INSERT AUTOSTARTTOKEN HERE>&redirect=fp_app_x://”]
If the BankID app is not present on the device NO is returned. RP must inform the user. Message RFA2
should be used.
The RP app must register a unique URL scheme to make it possible for the BankID app to re-launch RP app.
In Xcode select the project and in the Info tab expand URL Types and add the URL scheme rp_app_x.
Note: rp_app_x is an example. The RP should use its own unique URL scheme.
The RP must implement the following function that will be called when the RP app is re-launched.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url
sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication
annotation:(id)annotation
3.4.3 Windows Phone
// Create the URI string
var uriToLaunch = string.Format(
"bankid:///www.bankid.com/autostarttoken={0}&redirect={1}",
<INSERT AUTOSTARTTOKEN HERE>,
Uri.EscapeDataString("fp-app-x://bank_x"));
// Create the URI to launch from a string.
var uri = new Uri(uriToLaunch);
// Launch the URI.
bool success = await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(uri);
If the BankID app is not present on the device the operating system presents a dialogue asking to open
Windows Phone store. RP must inform the user. Message RFA2 should be used.
The RP app must register a unique URL scheme to make it possible for the BankID app to re-launch RP app.
In Visual Studio:

Version: 2.7
Open Package.appxmanifest
Open the tab Declarations.
Add a "Protocol". Under name enter ”rp_app_x”.
Enter a logo and a "Display name".
Note: rp_app_x is an example, RP should use its own unique URL scheme.
RP must also implement the following to be successfully re-launched by BankID Security App. In Visual
Studio add the class AssociationUriMapper:
/// <summary>
/// The association uri mapper.
/// </summary>
internal class AssociationUriMapper : UriMapperBase
{
/// <summary>
/// When overridden in a derived class, converts a
requested uniform resource identifier (URI) to a new URI.

mapped to a new URI.</param>
public override Uri MapUri(Uri uri)
{
var tempUri =
System.Net.HttpUtility.UrlDecode(uri.ToString());
// URI association launch.

2. Open BISP configuration folder (see below).
3. Copy all files in the folder to a separate location to be able to
restore the production configuration later on.
Create a set-up for test:
1. Stop BISP.
2. Open configuration folder.
3. Delete all files in the folder.

IMPORTANT: Only a BankID that is enrolled in the present environment
can be used or administered in the present environment. Trying to use or
administer a BankID from the other environment will block it.
BankID for test
Perform step 1-4 above and verify that your web service client can
successfully communicate with the RP Interface.
Verify that you have BankID Security App configured for test (iOS, WP8,
Windows, OS X) or that you use a test version of BankID Security app
(Android).
Use a production or test BankID and log in to
https://demo.bankid.com/nyademobanken. Note that if you configured the
client for test, you cannot use a production BankID and vice versa.
Select “Hämta BankID för test” and click the “Hämta BankID” button
below the name in order to request a BankID for test. In the next step you
can enter the ID (“personnummer”) and name (“Namn”) for the test
BankID and request a Mobile BankID or a BankID on file.
This will open a pop-up window. Your browser must not block pop-up
windows. Follow the instructions in the pop-up window.
If you are unable to follow the instructions above, please contact
[email protected].

Information regarding the Web Service API
8.1 Versions
A new version of the web service API will be published on a new URL every time there is a change in the
API. RP should always use the latest version of the API. The general rule is that old versions will shut down 2
years after the release of the successor. As new functionality is introduced to the system the behavior of an
existing version of the interface may change, e.g. existing faults may also be used in new situations. This
document is written for version 4 of the interface.

8.2 Test Environment
New versions and release candidates are used in the test environment prior to being taken into use in the
production environment. Due to this the content and functionality in the test environment and production
environment may temporarily differ.
8.3 No soapAction
The service uses URLs to specify the action to use. The soapAction header must be ”” or excluded all
together.

Support
In technical matters please contact [email protected]. In any other business, please contact the bank
through which you have purchased the BankID service.
Requirement
RFS1
RP should inform the user what to do in case of lost or forgotten security code (contact the
issuer).
RFS2
RP must provide support for its own service.
RFS3
When the user is having problems the RP should redirect the user to test.bankid.com.
Users that cannot successfully use their BankID at test.bankid.com should be redirected to the
issuing bank in case of a BankID related problem and in case of network error to mobile phone
carrier or the internet service provider.
If the user can successfully identify and sign at test.bankid.com the user should be redirected to
the RP support.

11 File Signing
The method fileSign is deprecated and we strongly recommend RP not to use it. It will not be included in
future versions of the RP Service API. The main reasons are:
 It is impossible to support fileSign in a proper manner for Mobile devices
 Only pdf supported
 Size restrictions
Our recommendation is to use the sign method with the following notes:
1. Present the document to be signed to the user using your own application/website.
2. Compute a message digest of the binary representation of the document.
3. Compile an abstract of the content of the document.
4. Use method sign with userVisibleData set to abstract and userNonVisibleData set to the message
digest.
The benefits of using this method are that it is available for PC:s and mobile devices, that there is no sizelimitation and that all types of documents can be signed. A not yet planned and future fileSigning method will
be in line with this recommendation.

The text to be displayed and signed. Must be UTF-8 encoded. The value must be base 64encoded. 1-40 000 characters (after base 64-encoding). The text can be formatted using CR =
new line, LF = new line and CRLF = new line
userNonVisibleData
Data not displayed to the user (optional). The value must be base 64-encoded. 0 - 200 000

fileName
String. Base 64-encoded. 5-340 characters. Printable ASCII-characters (32-127), and åäöÅÄÖ.
Characters not allowed in filenames are not allowed. The name must end with dot (".") and a
suffix that describes the type of file. Example: Agreement130821.pdf. Allowed file types are
.pdf and .txt
fileContent
MTOM/XOP-binary data. Must not be inline. Max 5Mb.
The filecontent is sent as binary attachment outside the SOAP-envelope using XML-binary
Optimized Packaging (XOP). The file is not base 64-encoded (even though the type is called
base64binary).
In some cases the support needs to be activated in the SOAP-client. The server will response
with an error if XOP is not used. The support is activated differently depending on used
framework. Note that MTOM only is required for fileSign and is not needed for other methods.
In JAX-WS the support can be activated using the following (where port is the SOAP port)

A list of alternative requirements. Used by RP to put one or more requirement on how the order
must be created and verified. A requirement consists of one or more conditions. Every condition
has a type/key and can have one or more values. If no requirement is included a set of default
conditions is applied. The order of the requirement is significant. The first requirement where all
conditions are true will be used. The used requirement is included in the resulting signature.
