> Getting e-residency in Estonia will require going there to have your identity verified – and fingerprints and face biometrics taken by border police. Ugh. No thanks. That's not necessary anymore. Apple has proved that fingerprint identities don't need to be stored in a centralized place. And reading through their eID authentication protocol [1], I believe Estonians know this, yet they keep pushing for the centralized version. In the document it even says storing fingerprints in a centralized place is extremely risky. Once someone breaks into that database, those identites can never be used again. And you can only change your fingerprint so many times (do you fancy using your little finger for ID, much?) http://www.bdigital.org/Documents/estudi_ENISA.pdf http://www.bdigital.org/Documents/estudi_ENISA.pdf
