Hi, This is OT, but I turned to you as to experts on cryptography and privacy issues.
I wondered about the security of the contracts signed with eID and who might be in possession of the secret RSA key on smartcards used. Are there any chances that we might use something like the Perfect Forward Secrecy in the algorithm used? (Meaning, the breach of the secret key would not compromise past signed contracts.) In other word, the rogue government official or rogue owner of the root certificate or some black hacker hacking them would not be sufficient to forge a contract which "we signed" with non-repudiation contract or financial obligations? I also understood that RSA signatures are being cracked in square root Q(sqrt(2**n)) time, so are there any plans to introduce elliptic curve or quantum-resistant certificates any time soon? Thank you, Mirsad Todorovac _______________________________________________ Swan mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreswan.org/mailman/listinfo/swan
