Secure access to the employee service portal in the Free State of Bavaria

The employee service portal provides employees of ministries and state authorities with secure access to their personal data and employee-related procedures. Secure access to the portal is realized via the authega authentication service, which was developed by the companies mgm technology partners GmbH and secunet Security Networks AG and complies with data protection regulations.

With authega, the CIO Staff Office of the IT Representative of the Bavarian State Government, together with the State Ministry of Finance and the companies mgm technology partners GmbH and secunet Security Networks AG, is providing a central infrastructure component that enables access security for all eGovernment applications of the Free State with a uniform and cross-platform service. This service can be seamlessly integrated into the online-based specialized procedures of the Bavarian state administration. In the future, municipal citizen services and administrations outside Bavaria will also be able to use this option for secure access verification.

authega was developed on the basis of a mature technology that has already proven itself for years in the ElsterOnline portal, and in this respect is the result of many years of successful cooperation between the Bavarian State Tax Office and the implementation partners from the ELSTER environment, mgm technology partners GmbH and secunet Security Networks AG.

mgm technology partners brings to authega its broad experience in the technical design, implementation and quality assurance of highly available and scalable portal applications.

As a leading provider of sophisticated IT security and security partner of the Federal Republic of Germany, secunet supplies authega's central security modules and thus ensures secure authentication that complies with data protection requirements.

authega can be flexibly expanded to include functions for electronic signatures and end-to-end encryption, making it the ideal complement for the new ID card.
