End of September, Switzerland will vote for E-ID. A big threat for our privacy as it will widely used for tons of new use cases.

Behind the government pitch of an "open source project, completely optional" hides big tech industry... Which will make it mandatory to access their services.

What are your thoughts on that ?

Every authentication uses your SIM, your civil service number and your password (PIN, fingerprint, face id)

Maybe I misunderstand what you are covering but I don't think so, e.g. card reader and Ente Auth do not require connectivity.

    It's used for official authentication. The certificates are handled by the federal government. That's only possible with a call to the federal governments servers.

    Any eID or other card wil have outdated data on it at some point. Like, when you move or, when you die.
