Scary indeed. Also responsible for authentication of DigiD, online taxes, pension funds, Chamber of Commerce, Ministry of Security and Justice, local governments, etc.


Didn't check it myself, but apparently DigiD for instance is on a different CA/root. DigiD is the Dutch "unified account" for all online government services: you can take out student loans, submit taxes, etc.
