[pp.int.general] The Flaw in the Estonian ID Card

[Otto de Voogd]

Hi Pirates!

In Estonia we have ID card system that uses public key cryptography to
allow us to identify ourselves online and sign legally binding documents.

The problem is that the secret keys are placed on the ID cards for you,
i.e. the keys are generated by the state.

I've written an article about this issue, which was published on ERR
(the Estonian Public Broadcaster):
