  • Central Provident Fund Board (CPF)
  • Housing & Development Board (HDB)
  • Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS)
  • NS Portal
  • Accounting and corporate Registration
  • Authority of Singapore (ACRA)
  • Business Licensing system
  • Ministry of Manpower (MOM)

What should businesses consider when integrating with the suite of Singpass APIs?
You can deliver streamlined user experience and enhance data security in your applications thanks to the enablement of following technologies in Singpass:
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA)
  • Myinfo/ Myinfo Business
  • Single Sign-On (SSO)
  • OpenID Connect (OIDC)

What Singpass features and sevices should be covered in my integration?
Singpass simplifies your online transactions while secures sensitive information, like as filing taxes and seeing CPF statements. You can further improve your user experience with following suit of services provided by Singpass: Digital IC in the Singpass app, Myinfo, Myinfo Business, Login, Verify, Face Verification, Sign and Notify.

What is single sign-on? How does it work?
SSO (single sign-on) is an authentication solution that allows users to safely log in to numerous apps and websites with only one set of credentials.
SSO is built on the establishment of a trust relationship between a service provider (SP) and an identity provider (IdP). This trust relationship is frequently formed by the exchange of a certificate between IdP and the SP. This certificate can be used to certify identity information transmitted from the IdP to the SP, ensuring that the SP is receiving it from a reliable source. This identity information is stored in the form of tokens in SSO, which contain identification data about the user, such as an email address or a username.

Why does my organization need to migrate onto the OIDC protocol for Singpass integration?

OIDC is an open authentication protocol that adds an identity layer to OAuth 2.0. According to GovTech's new initiative, all public-facing government systems have to migrate to the Singpass OIDC protocol from SAML for OIDC is simpler to integrate than SAML and it supports a greater range of apps, consisting of the following features:

  • Simple-to-use identity tokens: An ID token received by client apps is simple and portable with a variety of signature and encryption algorithms you can choose from.
  • The OAuth 2.0 protocol: To receive ID tokens, clients employ OAuth 2.0 processes, which operate with both web and native mobile apps. OAuth 2.0 also implies that you may use a single authentication and authorization protocol in obtaining access tokens.
  • Simplicity with sufficient features: OIDC is easy enough to integrate with basic programs while simultaneously providing capabilities and security choices to suit even the most stringent business needs.

What is the ideal strategy to meet the OIDC migration timeline?

All public-facing government systems will be required to transit to the Singpass OIDC protocol within a short period of time. If each project within the same agency seeks its government-compliant OIDC solution separately, time and efforts are wasted on comparing approaches repetitively and deploying them independently. This strategy is expensive and may not reach the migration deadline.

Having an agency-wide OIDC solution, rather than sourcing a government-compliant solution at the project level, reduces the time necessary to move to the Singpass OIDC protocol.

Adnovum can help you integrate each application with Singpass OIDC in as fast as two weeks. Our solutions can be implemented to gradually transit your applications to Singpass OIDC which will create economies of scale and saves your time and money.
