Re: General back ground information on National ID cards

Hi,

here's the status for Belgium:

About 5.000.000 citizens have their cards now, and within
about 2 years or so everyone above 12 should have one
(total population: about 11.000.000)

There's an authentication and a nonrep key on the card
(the last one not supported by OpenSC because of a lack
of GUI).

Check out http://homes.esat.kuleuven.be/~decockd/wiki/bin/view.cgi

for more info.

Cheers,
Stef
