case: Research on network models for national e-identity

In a joint assignment of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Innopay analysed the governmental e-identity system DigiD. By developing a new perspective on e-identity services, based on the two-sided network characteristics, we created a new paradigm for solving certain issues that prevented the system to develop further. The introduction of the scheme concept in combination with a 4-party model has layed the foundation for a new approach. Currently the Dutch government is developing a scheme for Government-to-Business authentication services, based on this new paradigm.
