Welcome to Our Website!
As eID Architect at FedICT I'm always looking for new ways to increase the adoption of the Belgian eID Card. As Steve Ballmer once exclaimed "developers, developers, developers!" I also share the view that adoption of the Belgian eID Card starts with correct targeting of developers. Switching the FedICT eID software products over to an Open Source Software model is one of the ways in which I hope to achieve this goal. Via this website I'm trying to explicitly target web application developers. Of course, keeping in mind the existence of breed like project managers et cetera, I'll try to keep the articles as generic as possible.
This website will guide you through all presently available products and services in our portfolio in a no-nonsense fashion to help you make better decisions on how to integrate the eID card into your applications. We will regularly update this website to reflect the eID state-of-the-art. So stay tuned.
Presentations
We offer all generic eID related presentations online for download. These presentations provide a good introduction and high level overview of all different eID building blocks that I have been constructing over the last few years.

FedICT eID DSS Presentation
This presentation highlights the eID Digital Signature Service product. It details on the different supported documents formats, on the XAdES-X-L signature format, and on web application integration aspects.
Videos
I've constructed different videos that demonstrate practical eID integration within web application frameworks. All of these videos are available online via Youtube.
Integrating the eID Identity Provider in ASP.NET via Windows Identity Foundation
This video demonstrates how to integrate the eID IdP within your ASP.NET based web applications. The integration happens via the Microsoft Windows Identity Foundation framework over the WS-Federation protocol.
