E-signature is great. I am not sure what service level is across Europe, but in my country it is half-baked due to:
1) software or plugins for signing should be available for free
2)All authorities have to accept same key (here in my country is huge problem with this. Governement offices and institutions accept different keys. Banks doesnt accept anything at all.)
3) Connected systems needs to be automated. its not acceptable to have manual verification and 12 hours sync between e-private-mailboxes (not fully related to esign).
4) if i can send form signed with e-signature it has to be delivered with appropriate automated feedback (meesage delivered,accepted,rejected)
5) they force users to use windows, internet explorer and expensive software, timestamps.

- mianos 10y agoIt's a real joke down under. Considering Chrome's market share: "Chrome and Edge browsers are not compatible with AUSkey."
- pisipisipisi 10y ago1) For simple crypto middleware, have a look at OpenSC - it was created precisely for solving the proprietary middleware problem 2) All the software used in Estonia is open source, available on Github (@open-eid) (same for Belgium, Portugal etc). I can only say that open source eID software does not happen "just because" but needs a bit of pushing. Might take a few years and some personal input, but the outcome shall be good. 3) There are efforts for collaboration on universal and open standards and interfaces (W3C for example) that should make the proprietary vendor locked solutions a nuisance of history
