Digital identification[edit]

Can someone give me a list of newspapers that support authentication with the Estonian ID-card on their commentary pages? As far as I know, the Eesti Päevaleht was the only one and even they canceled this support and no newspaper supports this kind of authentication any more.--217.159.177.10 (talk) 21:13, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Public transport[edit]

Actually, there is no direct link between ID-card and virtual bus ticket. The virtual ticket is linked with users ID-code (that might be much older than ID-card). ID-card provides just simple automatic way for checking presence of the ticket. Children, younger than 15 years, can us this virtual ticket using their students card.

Privacy of private key[edit]

A huge issue with a system like this is whether the private key is held only on the card, or whether the issuing authority (in this case, the Estonian government) also has a copy. The article currently doesn't specify this, and I can't find a clear answer online. Could someone with better research skills try to fill in this bit of info?

No Images in Table[edit]

It looks like there are no images in the table here, the table may be worthy for deletion as a result of having no content. --146.186.248.26 (talk) 16:51, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
