Is MitID safe?
MitID is a Danish digital identification and authentication solution that provides citizens with access to public and private services online. Security is a central feature of MitID, and it is designed to protect citizens' personal data and prevent unauthorized access to their digital identity.
MitID uses strong encryption to ensure that all communication between the user and the service is protected against unauthorized access or interception of data. This is achieved through the use of secure protocols and standards such as SSL/TLS.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are cryptographic protocols that secure communication between a web browser and a web server. They create a secure connection by encrypting data, which protects against unauthorized access or manipulation of sensitive information over the internet.
MitID also focuses on protecting users' personal data and privacy by only disclosing necessary information to the specific service they wish to access and by adhering to the principles of data minimization and purpose limitation. Finally, users have full control over their MitID account, allowing them to manage their personal information and security settings to protect their digital identity. MitID is also widely used to sign documents online. Right now, you can sign for free with MitID through ePact. ePact is used by a large number of companies across the country, from small accounting firms to large energy companies.
Overall, MitID is designed to be a secure and reliable digital identity solution that protects users' personal data and privacy against misuse and unauthorized access.
