Source code for Dutch DigiD app released under Dutch Open Government Act

I did not look in depth, but the source code would reveal how thing are getting encrypted and business flows but not the data. That is in the digid's infrastructure

Is this literate programming?

It's been extensively discussed on twitter, and the general conclusion seems to be that yes, this particular snippet is good code.

In order to verify your ID with the app your phone must have NFC support to scan the passport/id, and on the screen where you do the verification it says: if your phone doesnt have support find a friend with a phone that supports it, I kid you not..

edit, found it in the code:

It’s a great app. I mean, there can be challenges, but generally extremely effective.

I suppose openness will enhance security over time?

Question: can you modify, compile, and run that code and still have it work for the same uses?

They explicitly say it's not intended for reuse, and various stuff has been redacted (though I've not identified any that would stop the code from working). Interestingly you are allowed to reuse the code under the EUPL license.
