Pretty much the same kind of database is going to be created in Israel, pushed forward by a single Member of Knesset, while ignoring advice from leading security experts. (see for example Adi Shamir, aka The "S" in "RSA.")
The law is currently in a two-year "trial" period (despite the fact that nobody bothered defining metrics and requirements for gauging the success or failure of the trial), following which it will become mandatory for every citizen under punishment of [possible] incarceration.
Let's just say I'm going to jail in two years...

- slavak 15y agoA good starting point: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3816629,00.html http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3816629,00.html Mentioning (briefly) Eli Biham's opinion on the database: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4069922,00.html http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4069922,00.html Mentioning Adi Shamir's security suggestions: http://innovya.com/2011/09/information-technology-israel-new-biometric-id-database-raises-significant-privacy-concerns/ http://innovya.com/2011/09/information-technology-israel-new... I've been unable to find an English source detailing the specifics of Shamir's suggestion to the Knesset. I'll add it here if I'm able to find one.
