E-identification, FOSS, Sweden
The Swedish Agency for Digital Government (DIGG) published its proposal for a government-issued electronic identification (eID) solution a few days ago. It is supposed to be in line with upcoming EU #eidas changes.

I read it and posted some comments to the mailing list for the @dfri project about free and open e-ID here: https://mailman.dfri.se/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/eleg-projekt@lists.dfri.se/message/QHVJM2CWNWRNJGNHLGI27EYQHIT5ANJD/

Some important and good things about the proposal:
(1) It is based on open standards, unlike the current dominant eID in Sweden which is called #BankID which is closed and owned by the banks.
(2) Looks like the proposed solution will allow free and open source client software, you will no longer be forced to use Big Tech closed operating systems to use eID.

It's only a proposal at this point, they estimate 2 years of development time before it can start to be used, if politicians decide to implement the proposal.
What do you think?
Everyone is welcome to comment here and/or join the project mailing list.
