Tax Time
So it's Tax time here in Belgium ..
And this year the government forced me to replace my good old identity card with an electronic one , hence creating a giant security gap. There is a private key involved. One that I didn't create, one that has been created by someone I don't know, I don't even know who, should I trust these people ? Should I trust the fact that someone could have made backups of my keys ?
There is nothing private about the keys the government issued so I fail to see how they can identify me in a secure way.. There can be tons of people that have that key.
Anyways.. for those local that happen to still have an FC6 box around (like I do) with a cardreader, here's the rpm for BEID, based on Dag's specfile.
I`m off to loose yet another part of my privacy ..

It's not like I`m worried about it .. I dont' really plan on using it ...
And nobody ever gave me a choice ... I mentionned the lack of security when it was forced on me .. but obviously the local government hat no clue about the issues.

Chris,
If you are so worried about the security of the certificate, why did you not take the option to have the certificate disabled?
