An electronic identification (eID) program is a digital system for verifying identity. eID enables citizens and organizations to access various services, including government benefits, banking, and e-commerce. It's used for online authentication, digital signatures, and increasingly for voting in some countries. eID systems can be required for certain transactions or to access full functionality of some services.
Developing free software eID alternatives is challenging due to the complexity of these systems. Reverse engineering proprietary solutions is often necessary to create free eID programs, a complex process that has led to their limited availability. The Swedish BankID serves as an example, where community efforts to create a free alternative emerged when companies resisted open-sourcing. However, the competitive landscape made maintaining these community-driven versions increasingly difficult over time
This page catalogs eID programs distributed as free software, aiming to provide users with alternatives that can be audited for security and privacy concerns.
