BTW. Punk. If you or anybody else here on the list like to talk about how things developed globally in regards to IoT, cypherpunk and what not. I am always open to speak about my long journey as virtual junkie. Next year I am 40 years online and I may can tell some folks younger than me what I have seen, or what my fears are for the younger generation is. P.S regarding Punk, I was one in the late seventies and I am still one in my heart, even if I do things differently today or support this and that. I always did not follow main stream, or what mostly other people did. :-) Regards Stefan On Sun, Oct 24, 2021 at 11:03 PM Stefan Claas <spam.trap.mailing.lists@gmail.com> wrote:

For digital signatures only we have also now EU wide eIDAS, which allows people to use .pdf documents and let them digitally sign via authorized (by Government) services.
fucking hilarious - the european cesspool is run by adobe. "kudos" Stefan =)
Hi Punk,
When one uses the free Adobe reader for verification. On Linux there are other tools available. Hardware-based solutions, like chip cards etc, are also not based on Adobe. Adobe implemented in his software a mechanism which follows the definition of the EU signature standard. In the United States IIRC there is a similar digital signature scheme available. While this stuff might be of course not cool cypherpunk stuff, it IMHO shows, while digitalization of the planet continues, that there are solutions now available which allow Joe user average to use such things, in case he needs an official and secure way to accomplish certain task.
