Visual login verification VLV

The aim of this web application is to enable natural persons to prove to each other that they have logged in with a verified electronic identity.

Identities are checked visually and can be checked by all participants by consulting the list of participants at . Surname, first name, email address and, in certain cases, date of birth are provided. For legal reasons, the date of birth may be a generic placeholder entry. Nevertheless, the visual verification of the identity data is reliable because the email address provides information on the affiliation (e.g. xavier.yalonden@someoffice.admin.ch).

The most common use case is the organisation of online conferences where the identity of the participants must be verified before the conference begins. This means that the conference host requests a code from the participants via audio or conference chat in the first few minutes of the online conference, which each participant must generate in the VLV web application at .

Login to the VLV web application only works with verified electronic identities. An electronic identity is deemed to have been verified if the person has been checked with their official photo ID, including storage of the ID data. Persons who have received a FED-LOGIN identity as part of their employment or contract fulfil this requirement. They can use the FED-LOGIN identity to prove their identity with sufficiently high quality by means of a smart card or alternative means of proof of identity.

Persons who do not have a FED-LOGIN identity require either a CH-LOGIN identity with a strong second factor, additionally verified through video identification, or an AGOV identity that has likewise been confirmed via video identification.
