Axtero Connect
Use your Swiss government smart card on iPhone and iPad, with system-wide certificate integration and Safari extension for eIAM FED-Login
Swiss government employees rely on physical smart cards for secure authentication. On desktop, this works. But on iPhone and iPad, these smart cards are unsupported, leaving mobile workers locked out of federal systems like eIAM FED-Login. The eIAM login page even hides the smart card option on mobile browsers, assuming it is not possible. For IT teams, this means federal staff cannot securely access internal systems from the devices they carry every day.
Axtero Connect for Government is a native iOS and iPadOS app that brings full smart card support to Apple mobile devices. Using CryptoTokenKit, Connect integrates smart card certificates system-wide, enabling secure authentication across apps and Safari. The included Safari extension reveals the hidden smart card login option on eIAM FED-Login, making it accessible from iPhone and iPad for the first time. Automatic card and reader detection, PIN verification, and AES-256 encrypted communication ensure a seamless and secure experience. Built-in diagnostic tools with guided troubleshooting help IT teams resolve issues quickly without escalation.
