# Roadmap 2026 & Beyond

Here we present the eSignet product roadmap for 2026 and our strategic horizon forward. This roadmap outlines the planned features, progress, and release details for eSignet.

> **Annual product cycle** of eSignet commences in **January** and concludes in **December**.

<details>

<summary>Vision</summary>

In 2026, eSignet will focus on strengthening its foundation and expanding advanced authentication capabilities. The year begins with a full migration from Java 11 to Java 21 across all eSignet components, improving performance, security, and long-term maintainability. eSignet will introduce Face Authentication to support on-the-go, high-assurance user verification, followed by Single Sign-On (SSO) to enable seamless access across services. The Signup module will evolve into a standalone identity verification portal, and the year will conclude with the addition of CIBA support, enabling secure and user-friendly decoupled authentication. Continuous performance and stability improvements will run throughout the year to ensure eSignet remains production-ready at scale.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.esignet.io/home/esignet/roadmap-and-releases/roadmap/roadmap-2026.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
