Did you bring up the Diginotar hack/scandal because you think having a citizen authentication system is a terrible idea? I think the diginotar incident showed more of how bad the SSL CA situation really is than of the lacking security of digid.
I personally think digid is a great idea, and actually that it should be opened up and extended to allow more (non-government) organisations to make use of it for true "real name" authentication.
- tptacek 14y agoI brought up the Diginotar hack because the security of the Digid system depended on an organization that was so thoroughly owned up that it was forced out of business, and I felt like that was relevant to a discussion about centralizing the authentication of citizens to a single organization that could be trusted to get things right.
