Van Huffelen wants DigiD to be fully open source in future
State Secretary for Digitalisation Van Huffelen wants DigiD to be fully open source in the future. Something that is not yet the case. Van Huffelen made this known during a debate on the Digital Government Act. In principle, future identification and log-in tools should also be open source.
The Digital Government Act regulates that Dutch citizens and companies can log in safely and reliably to the (semi-)government. Citizens will receive electronic means of identification (eID) with a higher degree of reliability than the current DigiD. In addition, these means of login must be fundamentally open-source. Something that does not yet apply to DigiD.
“It does not work entirely with open source software. That’s because it cannot yet be used securely for all processes. But this must also apply to DigiD, of course, just as it applies to other log-in tools. We want to shape the growth path for this in the coming period”, said the State Secretary.
Van Huffelen herself calls it “growing towards it”, because not all log-in systems are open source at the moment. “DigiD, for example, is not yet fully open source. It is a login tool that we use and that we consider secure, but it is not fully open source. So we want to make sure that the login tools that private or public parties use and that we want to allow into our system in the future are ideally based on 100 per cent open source.”
During the debate, there was also discussion about requiring only open source login tools in the law. “If you demand in the law that it must always be, that it must be one hundred percent, and it’s not possible now, then you’re already failing to meet the requirement today. Then you would have to stop the DigiD,” Van Huffelen responded. “We are going as far as possible with the open source principle and the obligation, apart from cases where security or continuity is at stake.” The Lower House will vote on the bill and the motions submitted during the debate on 7 June.

Det verkar alltså som om politiker i Nederländerna har förståelse för betydelsen av öppen källkod för säkerhet och att de är på väg att skapa e-legitimation med 100% öppen källkod.
Jag tycker det verkar väldigt lovande, om Nederländerna går före kan det bli betydligt lättare att få svenska politiker att förstå det här.
Om någon vet mer om läget i Nederländerna, berätta gärna!
