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.

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.

How digital identity can change daily life

This time, it is different: API gateways API gateways are not new – the first examples burst into the general IT scene back in the 2004-2006 timeframe. Most of the early products were developed by start-ups that were then acquired by IT giants, but some products came out of corporate R&D. Over the past fifteen years, not only the capabilities but also the role of the API gateway have changed, just as the overall business, technical and regulatory environment are changing.

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.

This time, it is different: API gateways API gateways are not new – the first examples burst into the general IT scene back in the 2004-2006 timeframe. Most of the early products were developed by start-ups that were then acquired by IT giants, but some products came out of corporate R&D. Over the past fifteen years, not only the capabilities but also the role of the API gateway have changed, just as the overall business, technical and regulatory environment are changing.

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.

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

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?

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
