@adfichter 3/9 #eID card can be used by the e-service for user identification and #qualified #digitalSignature without any middleman directly from the browser. Only the service you are interacting sees your data.
@adfichter 4/9 All the software and documentation is open source. All programmers can implement all 3 #eID methods to their service very easily. https://t.co/ZwOVoSiTFJ

@adfichter 6/9 For even more convenience Smart-ID mobile app with split private keys (part phone part remote #HSM) and #eIDAS #qualified #digitalSignature certificates. Used in multiple countries. Activated using #eID card or in person. https://t.co/A3ZHRNhaSC https://t.co/NxwVn7MmX0
@adfichter 7/9 Mobile-ID and Smart-ID use central service provider(private company in #eIDAS trust list) and return your chosen digest #digitalSignature for every transaction. You can verify if the user authorized the action. Service provider cannot fake any actions. https://t.co/MizN0P5HeD
@adfichter 8/9 As everyone has smart card based #eID and they can have 1-2 mobile #eID methods then #eID is widely available. All services know that by supporting these 3 methods everyone can easily transact with them. https://t.co/1YpSlYT0ev

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹

I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):


The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹


Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹


References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
