Open Letter regarding the #eIDAS Regulation:

We strongly warn against the currently proposed trilogue agreement, as it fails to properly respect the right to privacy of citizens and secure online communication; without establishing proper safeguards as outlined above, it instead substantially increases the potential for harm.

Open Letter regarding the eIDAS Regulation

We strongly warn against the currently proposed trilogue agreement.

^{Rainer Rehak (FIfF e.V.)}

The EU is moving forward with #eIDAS despite warnings from over 500 scientists & privacy advocates.

With no requirement that server-side code be released open source, we cannot be sure that our personal data is secure.😱

Thankfully, the #Pirates 🏴‍☠️ in the EU Parliament did manage to push for an #opensource release of the client-app & the eID will be voluntary.

This isn't over. EU citizens please contact your representatives and demand they respect our #privacy !🥊

🚨 Another EU mass surveillance attempt. Will kill privacy on web. Must not pass. 🚨

“[A]ll web browsers distributed in Europe will be required to trust the certificate authorities and cryptographic keys selected by EU governments.

These changes radically expand the capability of EU governments to surveil their citizens by ensuring cryptographic keys under government control can be used to intercept encrypted web traffic across the EU.”
