DigiD is an identity management platform which government agencies of the Netherlands, including the Tax and Customs Administration and Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs, can use to verify the identity of Dutch residents on the Internet. In 2022, it was used for 557 million authentications by 16.5 million citizens.{{cite press release | title = DigiD door de jaren heen | publisher = Logius | date = 9 November 2023 | url = https://www.logius.nl/domeinen/toegang/digid/digid-door-de-jaren-heen | access-date = 9 November 2023 | language = nl}} The system is tied to the Dutch national identification number (burgerservicenummer, BSN). The system has been mandatory when submitting tax forms electronically since 2006.
Security
In July 2011, DigiNotar, the company that was providing the certificates used for DigiD under the PKI root-CA PKIoverheid, suffered the theft of hundreds of certificate codes. Although not directly linked to certificates used by DigiD, the result of the hack was that the government lost its trust in certificates issued by the company, both under their own root CA and the certificates under the governments' root PKIoverheid. Prosecutors said they would investigate the U.S.-owned, Netherlands-based DigiNotar.Wall Street Journal: [https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424053111903648204576554630259605332 Hacking Scandal Roils Dutch Public], visited 11 September 2011
In 2014, it was discovered that many DigiD phising websites existed, which were taken offline.{{Cite web |date=2014-11-07 |title=Veertig namaak-DigiD-sites offline gehaald |url=https://nos.nl/artikel/2002716-veertig-namaak-digid-sites-offline-gehaald |access-date=2024-10-28 |website=NOS |language=nl}} 24 websites of municipalities had weak passwords that allowed hacking DigiD credentials.{{Cite web |date=2014-10-28 |title=D66: DigiD-inloggegevens lagen te grabbel |url=https://nos.nl/artikel/2001190-d66-digid-inloggegevens-lagen-te-grabbel |access-date=2024-10-28 |website=NOS |language=nl}}
