In Europe there are countries (like Estonia) where they work pretty well and many people vote online. https://e-estonia.com/component/electronic-id-card/ Similarly in Slovenia there are state-issued certificates one can use to work with government online. > - practically all eID schemes have already take on other ways dealing with the Web Yes, currently they use custom extension to make it work, if this is what you mean "other ways". They use other non-standard ways to make it work. What I would like to find is a standard way to make it work. https://github.com/open-eid How much software instead of one simple HTML form element? BTW, I asked already before, can somebody point me to those "other ways" which really can replace eID schemes in the way that: you get a 3rd party verifiable statements, and that they are legal bounding in the same way eID schemes are currently in countries in Europe? I have not found any legal changes around that. So those claims have not yet been supported. What I see is that currently laws in Europe provide untapped opportunities which cannot be build upon mostly because there is no simple support for them in browsers. It really feels that this is just because it is not known much in USA? Mitar -- http://mitar.tnode.com/ https://twitter.com/mitar_m
