Advisory board member in the news: Peter Hoogendoorn

Digital identities have never been as popular as they were this year. The recent hack of Clinton’s e-mails and the publication of their content did not do her race to the White House any good. Revealing the identities of people who used the – dating – website Ashley Madison has resulted in divorces and claims for compensation.



Trending in 2017

Recently, I spoke at an event organized by IDnext. A variety of speakers were pitching about their companies and informing the audience about their expertise. I noticed critical questions coming from the audience, especially during my pitch. The combination of big data and privacy still raises questions with a lot of people. With the end of the year approaching, I would like to tell you about what I think will be trending in 2017: health data.

I've been a Member of the European Parliament in the 7th term and worked, topically, on digital rights and competitive digital market issues. I run an NGO in Sweden for data protection concerns.

Together with my partners I hope to make it more spiritually, technologically and legally accessible for individuals and, lately, municipal website designers.

eIDAS: Boosting uptake

The EU is the first and only region in the world to have a holistic, workable and balanced legal framework for cross-border use of eID and trust services.The eIDAS Regulation provides a predictable regulatory environment for electronic identification (eID), electronic trust services and electronic documents. This is a big step towards building the Digital Single Market, as it will ensure legal certainty and mutual recognition of trust services across the EU.

eIDAS: Boosting uptake

The EU is the first and only region in the world to have a holistic, workable and balanced legal framework for cross-border use of eID and trust services.The eIDAS Regulation provides a predictable regulatory environment for electronic identification (eID), electronic trust services and electronic documents. This is a big step towards building the Digital Single Market, as it will ensure legal certainty and mutual recognition of trust services across the EU.

How digital identity can change daily life

How digital identity can change daily life

Last week, I had to renew my passport. I had to go to my town hall to submit a passport application and then had to wait a week to receive it. I thought to myself: what a fuss and waste of time! To renew my passport, it would be better if I lived in Dubai.

Bringing a different perspective on board

What’s the .nl-registry got to do with IDnext? Why would SIDN be interested in digital identities? To me this is a no-brainer, but in the IDnext community it often triggers intriguing questions.

Scrap passwords. But then what? How can you prove that you are the legitimate user of a digital identity if you do not use a password?

Privileged Account Governance - Are all the identities of your ecosystem under governance?

It should be a simple question; the two words give you a big hint on where definition should end up. It is a user and quite obviously this user got one or a sum of privileges to do “important stuff”, but so I’m asking you: are you a privileged user?

Trends 2017

Technology will play an increasingly important role in society – these are often positive developments that make life easier and more pleasant, but also they render it less secure – and don’t we unwittingly cross ethical boundaries that we’d have preferred to avoid if we’d understand the consequences of those developments better? 


Call for pitches IDnext Meetup

An integral part of the IDnext meetup, due on 13th December at Surfnet in Utrecht are the IDnext pitches: ?IDnext gives organisations (start-ups) the opportunity to make a 3-minute pitch for their innovative solution.


Advisory board member in the news: Peter Hoogendoorn

Digital identities have never been as popular as they were this year. The recent hack of Clinton’s e-mails and the publication of their content did not do her race to the White House any good. Revealing the identities of people who used the – dating – website Ashley Madison has resulted in divorces and claims for compensation.



Trending in 2017

Recently, I spoke at an event organized by IDnext. A variety of speakers were pitching about their companies and informing the audience about their expertise. I noticed critical questions coming from the audience, especially during my pitch. The combination of big data and privacy still raises questions with a lot of people. With the end of the year approaching, I would like to tell you about what I think will be trending in 2017: health data.


Signicat is the latest partner of IDnext

Recently, Signicat, the leading provider of electronic identity and electronic signature solutions in Europe, became a partner of the IDnext platform.

I've been a Member of the European Parliament in the 7th term and worked, topically, on digital rights and competitive digital market issues. I run an NGO in Sweden for data protection concerns.

Together with my partners I hope to make it more spiritually, technologically and legally accessible for individuals and, lately, municipal website designers.

The Dutch government is collaborating with industry to create a standard for access to online services. The popular name for this is the eID Scheme. This scheme will enable citizens, consumers and business people to conduct business with the government and industry online, using one or more means of logging in.

How does this works? And what does this eID scheme means for the Dutch citizens and industry?


Eliminating strong authentication barriers in higher education and research

The complexity of IT in Dutch higher education and research has increased enormously over the last few years, as it has in other domains such as healthcare and the financial sector.

Let me start by briefly introducing myself. My name is Frank Broeze, born almost forty years ago in the eastern part of the Netherlands. During the last ten years in my professional life, I have been focusing on information security as well as on identity and access management related challenges.




iTunes of the digital educational market

During meetings I often joke when introducing myself, “And now you know what I do...” which is not really the case. My name is Martin Dias d’Ullois and I am an Advisory Board Member at IDnext. I also work for Kennisnet as an Authentication and Authorisation Product Manager.




European Union introduces new legal framework for identity management

On 1 July 2016, the EU Regulation on Electronic Identification and Trust Services will enter into force. The new Regulation will replace the current legislation, which is based on the 1999 Directive on Electronic Signatures. The new Regulation will be the main legal framework regulating identity management services.


Crowdsourcing a higher Level of Assurance for digital identities

Two-factor authentication is becoming more and more popular. In the ‘old days’, it was mostly used by companies and online banking. Very few other services bothered users with two-factor authentication. But now, with new services providing access to privacy-sensitive information and/or becoming more important to us...


Big data in small steps

Data are considered to be the new oil. They drive innovation and economic growth. At the same time, many organisations have no idea how to use their data to create value.

Identity management in the Age of Robotics

In our current world of cyber insecurity, Identity and Access Management (IA) feels like a journey back in time.

SIDN and Connectis: 'Now we can make ground with secure log-ins'

SIDN's CEO Roelof Meijer has acquired an extra job title: he's now also CEO of SIDN Deelnemingen ('SIDN Holdings'). That's because at the start of the year SIDN bought a majority stake in Connectis, a leading provider of secure log-in solutions. The acquisition made SIDN a significant player on the electronic ID market.




Wrap-up I AM Blockchain event

On 30 March 2017, experts including Erik Holkers, Haaino Beljaars (both from Sogeti), Peter Penning (ING), Amin Rafiee and Steven Gort (ICTU)  presented a full programme to an audience of over 100 guests at the I AM & Blockchain event, which we organised together with Sogeti.

What a great year

What a great year! We would like to thank all our members, partners and our dedicated IDnext team who made 2017 a great year. I will tell you what we did. And let me give you a glimpse of our IDnext season, with IAM Blockchain, the IDnext Golf event and the IDnext Meet-up. 



Trends 2017

Technology will play an increasingly important role in society – these are often positive developments that make life easier and more pleasant, but also they render it less secure – and don’t we unwittingly cross ethical boundaries that we’d have preferred to avoid if we’d understand the consequences of those developments better? 


Call for pitches IDnext Meetup

An integral part of the IDnext meetup, due on 13th December at Surfnet in Utrecht are the IDnext pitches: ?IDnext gives organisations (start-ups) the opportunity to make a 3-minute pitch for their innovative solution.


Advisory board member in the news: Peter Hoogendoorn

Digital identities have never been as popular as they were this year. The recent hack of Clinton’s e-mails and the publication of their content did not do her race to the White House any good. Revealing the identities of people who used the – dating – website Ashley Madison has resulted in divorces and claims for compensation.



Trending in 2017

Recently, I spoke at an event organized by IDnext. A variety of speakers were pitching about their companies and informing the audience about their expertise. I noticed critical questions coming from the audience, especially during my pitch. The combination of big data and privacy still raises questions with a lot of people. With the end of the year approaching, I would like to tell you about what I think will be trending in 2017: health data.


Signicat is the latest partner of IDnext

Recently, Signicat, the leading provider of electronic identity and electronic signature solutions in Europe, became a partner of the IDnext platform. Since this independent platform brings together players in the field of identity, I trust our partnership will add value to both the IDnext community and Signicat.

Who is Amelia Andersdotter and what do you do in daily life?
I've been a Member of the European Parliament in the 7th term and worked, topically, on digital rights and competitive digital market issues. I run an NGO in Sweden for data protection concerns. Data protection has been out of focus in the Swedish national debate for almost 30 years, so it's a great challenge for the country with the new EU rules. Together with my partners I hope to make it more spiritually, technologically and legally accessible for individuals and, lately, municipal website designers.




Trust in the Digital World

Recap IDM Europe Event

Whitehall media (a partner of IDnext) organized its second IDM Europe conference for thought leaders, practitioners and IAM specialist across Europe to discuss the infrastructural challenges and opportunities associated with managing and securing identity within the organization. The IAM sector is poised for major growth as businesses of all sizes look to develop strategies that are aligned to their business needs, but also consider people, processes and technology. Watch the highlights of this event!





eIDAS: Boosting uptake

The EU is the first and only region in the world to have a holistic, workable and balanced legal framework for cross-border use of eID and trust services.The eIDAS Regulation provides a predictable regulatory environment for electronic identification (eID), electronic trust services and electronic documents. This is a big step towards building the Digital Single Market, as it will ensure legal certainty and mutual recognition of trust services across the EU.


Explosion of connected possibilities – the impact of digital identity on the adoption of the Internet of Things

Imagine your future home. The door will open automatically as soon as you are near it.

eYOU in the EU

European governments are working hard to facilitate digital citizenship and entrepreneurship. But what is happening in the private, academic and corporate sectors in relation to these developments?


The user experience of a Dutch citizen

Together with students of the Haagse Hogeschool (Information Security Management), IDnextplatform has conducted a study about the user experience of Dutch citizens. Because the Dutch Government has set up a programme called Digital 2017, enabling citizens and businesses to use its digital services.


Thank you for a great 2015!

What a great year! We are thankfull to all our members, partners and our dedicated team who made 2015 a good year. But what have we really done, you might ask.

Well, some highlights.

Law on data breach notification requirement, access to company- and private sensitive information and auditing & compliancy are (some) topics of the Masterclass 'from mindmap to roadmap' that was organised in close collaboration with CA technologies.


How digital identity can change daily life

How digital identity can change daily life

Last week, I had to renew my passport. I had to go to my town hall to submit a passport application and then had to wait a week to receive it. I thought to myself: what a fuss and waste of time! To renew my passport, it would be better if I lived in Dubai.

IDnext answers the call to accelarate the societal debate regarding eID, involving citizens, consumers, scientists, politicians and both private and public organizations



eID scheme (still) on right track?

IDnext Golfevent 2015

Bringing a different perspective on board

What’s the .nl-registry got to do with IDnext? Why would SIDN be interested in digital identities? To me this is a no-brainer, but in the IDnext community it often triggers intriguing questions.




Determining the factor

Scrap passwords. But then what? How can you prove that you are the legitimate user of a digital identity if you do not use a password?

Working on the ideal world of Identity and Access Management

IDnext platform offers me to connect, share and exchange knowledge and experience with other experts and professionals in the world of Identity and Access management. Every member has his own focus or specialism. Sharing IAM-knowledge on a technical or abstract level or in financial or public branches is now a day’s ‘Must have’ if you want to keep in touch with new IAM developments. There is no time for boredom in the IAM world!


Privileged Account Governance - Are all the identities of your ecosystem under governance?

It should be a simple question; the two words give you a big hint on where definition should end up. It is a user and quite obviously this user got one or a sum of privileges to do “important stuff”, but so I’m asking you: are you a privileged user?




Masterclass Digital Identities: eIDAS, eID Stelsel and other developments – a recap

This is a recap of the Masterclass Digital identities: overview and developments in the Netherlands and Europe that took place on 16th December. This masterclass was initiated by the IDnext platform and organized in close collaboration with InnoValor.




Identity fraud is child’s play

Identity fraud is easy to do!

About 540 people in the Netherlands are the victim of identity fraud every day and identity fraud has become the fastest growing criminal activity. Just a couple of years ago I thought that it only happened to naïve and careless people. Now I know that this is not the case.

The most inspiring job I've ever had

The most inspiring job I’ve ever had

My name is Jacoba Sieders. A university degree in classics and philosophy led me to a number of minor jobs.

Bridging Opportunities from Citizens to Consumers

SAML the Undead

SAML the Undead

In September 2012, a lively discussion erupted when Craig Burton and Pamela Dingle at Kupperingcole launched the view that SAML was dead Now, in 2014, the exact opposite appears to have happened: SAML has become mainstream. Were they wrong?

Be SMART online, THINK privacy

Be SMART online, THINK privacy 

‘Think before you post’. ‘Think twice if it is necessary for a counterparty to request every of your personal data’. ‘Protect personal data on your device and reduce the risks of online privacy breach’. Just a few statements the Hong Kong Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data uses to inform Hongkies on the privacy risks in the frequent use of a Smartphone. A hot issue in Hong Kong, next to the privacy risks of social networking sites. 


The Dutch digital passport

The Dutch government is collaborating with industry to create a standard for access to online services. The popular name for this is the eID Scheme. This scheme will enable citizens, consumers and business people to conduct business with the government and industry online, using one or more means of logging in.

How does this works? And what does this eID scheme means for the Dutch citizens and industry?


Eliminating strong authentication barriers in higher education and research

The complexity of IT in Dutch higher education and research has increased enormously over the last few years, as it has in other domains such as healthcare and the financial sector. The higher education community has adopted a ‘cloud first’ strategy to facilitate students, teachers and researchers who want to access their data anywhere, anytime, with any device.


IDnext creates a bridge between education and industry

Offering tertiary education students a firm foundation for their later careers is one of the cornerstones of the collaboration between IDnext and The Hague University of Applied Sciences’ Academy of ICT & Media.

Adaptive Risk in the era of the Internet of Things

Risk has been always a key factor to be considered by companies and one of the major pains has always been how to manage it. We are used to analyzing Risk through a simple model. It is a well-known model and it is based on the fact that a threat could or could not be identified.
