Key Facts

  • More than one million registered users were asked to log in simultaneously.
  • The test exercised authentication through the National Identity Authority and state base registers.
  • It responds to overloads seen during the 2025 parliamentary elections.

Card Text

Digital identity systems fail on concurrency far more often than on cryptography, and election days concentrate demand into hours. Running an open public load test rather than a synthetic one is an unusually direct way to size for that peak.
