EID : representative Jambon makes some mistakes
First it is not that simple and automatic that you can steal an identity with simple the EID of your neighbor. We didn't publish that information but there is a procedure that makes it possible under certain conditions. One of these procedures has already been published but involves pictures of (or possession of) several cards and bits of information.
It seems necessary for us to stop the way that online new passwords are distributed and to change it into a physical presence procedure where you will have to present yourself in your city or commune. This doesn't sound too much digital and new, but this is the standard for all safe bankcards and identitypapers.
Secondly the films are not about the chip, they are about the privacywall that should have protected the information on the card against interception by non-authorized applications
THere are much more important political and IT problems around EID that need to be addressed. As fast and as coordinated as possible. It is not now the time to have political, intellectual or industrial fights. We are all in this together and solving this problem won't take too much effort if everybody agrees on the normal best practices and certifications that need to be in place.
We hope the government will survive the 15th of July because we need a government to do these things (among many others). These are much bigger issues than the interpretation of a word or sentence in a global agreement.
