MUSAP Project

The MUSAP project aims to develop a new software interface called Unified Signature Application Programming Interface (USAPI) Library. The interface provides a consistent and flexible way for applications to request either low, substantial or high LoA signatures, regardless of the SSCD technology or location of the private key.

  • Motivation for the project: We firmly believe that modern mobile identification of European citizens cannot rely on American software and Chinese hardware. It's time to offer mobile security solutions that meet contemporary usage requirements and adhere to European standards.
  • Generic use case description: Student 1 registers his SSI and selects to use UICC card for private key storage. Student2 registers her SSI and selects to use remote signature. Both can use VC issued by their university and register X.509 certificates for document signing.
  • Essential functionalities: 1. Select a key storage (UICC, eUICC, remote, TEE) 2. Register SSI and CA certificates 3. Unified Signature API implementation
  • How these functionalities can be integrated within the software ecosystem: Unified Signature API implementation will be published as an open source library. Relevant documentation will explain the process.
  • Gap being addressed: Every ID app (like eWallet) developer needs to integrate different SSCD APIs related to SSCD technology.
  • Expected benefits achieved with the novel technology building blocks: ID app developers shall start to use SSCD technologies to protect their ID app security. Additionally, users can select their preferred SSCD technology.
  • Potential demonstration scenario: Student 1 registers SSI using UICC and student 2 registers SSI using remote signature service. Both registers also X.509 certificate for pdf signing.
