On their website is their fingerprint and I must admit I do not know
how one could compromise
their whole infrastructure, which relies on our ID-cards and a
certified card-reader. In case this
would be possible then the wrong CA would properly sign my key, thus
guaranteeing that it
is me.

No, perfectly fine for me. Long-term therapy and proper pharmacy
should really help.

And when you have a psychosis, are you sure you can distinguish between both?
