What is the Public employee under pseudonym certificate?

It hides behind an alias the real identity, allowing its holder to sign digitally without showing data such as their NIF, or their name and surname. Please note that the e-mail is a public piece of data in the certificate and, as a result, it is necessary to provide an account that does not track the personal data of its owner.

It is a digital accreditation that protects the real identity of the holder when necessary (police, health inspectors, etc.). Not being able to be used when the real identity really needs to be known. For example, when the employee is internally related to another Administration. For these cases, a conventional Public Employee certificate will be used.
