CIE ID

CIE ID is the official macOS software released by the Italian government's Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato for managing Italy's electronic identity card (Carta di Identità Elettronica). The app enables Italian citizens to authenticate with government digital services, apply advanced electronic signatures using their CIE card, and manage their card's PIN and PUK codes. It works as middleware that connects web browsers like Safari, Chrome, and Firefox to the CIE card's microchip for secure access to public administration services such as the Italian tax agency's online portal. The software is essential for Italians who need to access government services digitally using their electronic ID card.
