History in Brief
The Public Digital Identity System (SPID in acronym) is the system for accessing online services of the Italian public administration and participating private individuals. Citizens and businesses can access these services with a unique digital identity that allows access and use from any device. It was introduced to overcome the fact that the proliferation of online services forced citizens to have an ever-increasing number of access credentials. Since 2016, in compliance with the regulations issued by the Italian government, digital identity managers accredited by AgID have begun to issue SPID identities to requesting citizens and businesses. From 1 October 2021 it is mandatory to access all online services of the Public Administration and today more than 35 million SPID identities have been issued in Italy.

The client
The SPID system is constituted as an open group of public and private entities which, subject to accreditation by the Agency for Digital Italy, manage the registration services and provision of credentials and online access tools in relation to citizens and businesses on behalf of public administrations.
The context
Since 2015, Innonation has participated in the analysis and development of the software platform used by Identity Providers to accredit themselves to the SPID system: in 2016, alongside Sielte SpA, it made its skills and software solutions available, supporting the operator when entering the SPID system and subsequently in 2022 with EHT SCpA.
