Roadmap 2026
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.
Vision
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.
