EU to implement electronic ID to accelerate adoption of e-government services

  > The document is largely a philosophical statement. The EU still faces the challenge of defining standards, creating a timeline for implementation, and determining how the systems would be funded. In addition, it can expect some controversy, as privacy remains paramount for many residents. Uh, okay. So all that's left now is the hard part. Hopefully they'll focus on strong virtually unhackable authentication methods like smart cards, U2F, and such, and won't also allow alternative methods like SMS, digital certificates, facial recognition, and other options that will make it easy for hackers to abuse their e-government systems/electronic voting, etc
