Niinett

Niinett is a digital identity and authentication service developed in Finland. It is managed by the Finnish Digital and Population Data Services Agency. Niinett aims to provide a secure and reliable way for individuals and organizations to prove their identity online and access various digital services. It supports multiple methods of authentication, often involving strong cryptographic elements.

The service is designed to meet the requirements of the European Union's eIDAS regulation, which governs electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market. Niinett is intended to be interoperable with similar e-identification solutions in other EU member states. Users typically interact with Niinett through mobile applications or dedicated hardware tokens, depending on the chosen level of assurance. The goal is to facilitate secure access to government services, banking, healthcare, and other online platforms, reducing the need for multiple usernames and passwords and enhancing overall digital security for Finnish citizens and residents.
