Re: XRD signed with Citizen Card

Actually, I could sign anyone's XRD with that Citizen Card, so I guess this doesn't really prove it's the XRD of MY i-name, right? But I'm sure this is interesting in some way.

Nat, what again was the idea behind doing this? :)

Hello,

In Austria we have something called Citizen Card, which is basically a government verified certificate put onto a physical card which you can use for e-government and other tasks.

Today I tried signing my i-name's XRD with that Citizen Card, find attached the result. I'm also attaching the certificate as a separate file.
The normal, non-signed XRD is http://xri.net/=markus.sabadello?_xrd_r=application/xrd+xml;sep=false;debug=1

So assuming you trust the Austrian government, you can now be quite sure that =markus.sabadello is really my i-name.

Thanks to Nat for the idea!
