except that eIDAS is basically not in use in germany.
- gostsamo 5y agoWell, Germany is not the entire EU. I have such card and it comes in handy from time to time, though the implementation could be much better.
- merb 5y agoI'm pretty sure that in france eIDAS is not there aswell, which would already mean that over 1/3 (probably more, because more states basically don't have it implemented) of the european member states population does not use it (yet)
- gostsamo 5y agoThis is sad and totally not my problem. I like the option to access easily my tax and health information and to get e-signed invoices instead of dealing with paper and stuff. I hope that the rest of the EU will do their part of crossing to the 21th century.
- wiredfool 5y agoHaven’t seen it in Ireland either.
- gostsamo 5y agoI think that it exist under the name electronic signature. Here is a pdf that might talk about it in IE: https://www.lawsociety.ie/globalassets/documents/committees/business/e-signatures-electronic-contracts-other-electronic-transactions.pdf https://www.lawsociety.ie/globalassets/documents/committees/...
- iknowstuff 5y agoThese things take time to implement. It's slowly getting rolled out. Germany in particular is.. digitally challenged as a country.
- est31 5y agoGreat documentary about this subject (German): https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/zdfzoom/zdfzoom-digitale-dilettanten-100.html https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/zdfzoom/zdfzoom-digitale-di... Personally I'm not even that sad about this German situation because often "improving" things digitally means centralizing them so you suddenly have one big database of 80 million germans containing all their data. A hack of that is way more dangerous than a hack of a single municipality's database. The larger the database, the larger the payoff for the hackers.
- merb 5y agowell depends while corona vaccinate-priority (right word?) was underway it was possible to send a FAX! to the healthcare insurer (not everybody allowed that) and you would've gotten a certificate for your priorty. I mean... fax is most often not encrypted. also deutsche telekom still does not support SRTP for sip (for most of their contracts, if you want SRTP you need to have a pretty expensive business contract), besides that they killed of analog phone lines, thats just stupid and most often if you have a sip trunk or some kind of cloud pbx you would need to pay double to get it...
