Ask HN: Status of Estonia's e-residency program
I know that Estonia&#x27;s e-residency program was affected a security flaw in Gemalto&#x27;s card in 2017. And apparently they closed access to the public key database at that time.<p>But what&#x27;s the current status of the program? I see no available public key database online or any API. Without a public way to verify these signatures, the program is only useful to internal Estonian government programs.<p>Anyone know what the current status of the program is? Do any other countries plan to offer a similar program?<p>The problem of verifying online identities in social media is a big one, and the Estonian program was a step in the right direction. It would be a shame if that progress is stifled because of Gemalto&#x27;s negligence and incompetency.
