I don't understand this fear of #email in government services that I experienced in countries such as #Germany or #Finland. Instead of developing encryption support or just providing encryption certificates to be used with government services, we develop our own solutions that are just worse such as #demail or #secureemail. The situation especially doesn't make sense when government services aren not allowed to use email but are
allowed to fax because email isn't "secure".
@thaodan I can only comment from perspective of CZ - here email-like solution (mojedatovaschranka.cz) is having specific features which common email cannot provide. Namely confirmation of login (enter), read receipt and confirmation of retention. Both are having legal consequences therefore cannot be provided as opt-in feature. Therefore while email is used for normal communication, legally-binding exchange (applications, extracts, submission) can only happen via DS.CZ service
