you lose your ID card, as you then also lose your private keys and can
no longer read encrypted e-mails sent to you or decrypt files that you
once encrypted. This problem in itself seems like a good reason not to
use the Estonian ID card system for those purposes. Personally I have
opted to use an open source tool named Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG), which
has the additional benefit of not being restricted to one small country
in Northern Europe."</span><br><br>Otto<br></div><div id="yiv1724814400yui_3_13_0_11_1383125014366_14">--<br clear="none">GPG key fingerprint = C22C 4F08 6BA6 3ADE 5FE4 8496 23BA D351 C916 B67D<br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv1724814400yqt0753336193" id="yiv1724814400yqt15845"><div class="yiv1724814400yahoo_quoted" id="yiv1724814400yui_3_13_0_11_1383125014366_16" style="display: block;"> <br clear="none"> <br clear="none"> <div class="yiv1724814400yui_3_13_0_1_1383125014366_57973" id="yiv1724814400yui_3_13_0_1_1383125014366_58889" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"> <div class="yiv1724814400yui_3_13_0_1_1383125014366_57974" id="yiv1724814400yui_3_13_0_1_1383125014366_58888" style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"> <div dir="ltr" id="yiv1724814400yui_3_13_0_1_1383125014366_59965"> <font size="2"
