A couple of days ago, some of the references in the eIDAS article where removed by an anonymous user with the justification that they were "SPAM". I strongly support the movement of keeping Wikipedia free of spam. However I had to undo the activity as it was not justified. Let me defend the notability of the authors quoted in the following. The first reference deleted as spam was by Jens Bender from Fraunhofer Institute, one of Germany's most renowned research institutes. The source was published on www.Bund.de, which is the public portal of Germany's Federal Administration. The source was critically evaluating opportunities and risks and helped to bring the article away from wiktionary kind of explanation towards an evaluating essay. Also Ashiq J.A. is known to many security experts. His tweets on #infosec have more than 800 followers ( https://twitter.com/AshiqJA). Mr Ashiq is security evangelist within the U.A.E government and brought a valuable outside perspective. Then there were quotes by Mrs Dawn Turner. I like her posts and regularly quote her as she creates the bigger picture, sets into context and explains. Especially when talking about the intersection of information security and law, this helps a lot. Additional sources will help to enhance. But please avoid destructive steps that would harm the credibility of the article. Discussions in the talk section would be the most fruitful. I like those discussions like in the talk of the Beatles entry. They help sharpening and improving the article. And please do not work anonymously. ScienceGuard ( talk) 08:07, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
Increasingly I follow discussions on the security of eIDAS. I.e. the risk that centralized trust-service-providers could be tempted to breach data security laws and misuse data as they have an overall insight into transactions, participating agents (nodes) their relationships (edges). Governments (or Espionage agencies and hackers) would get easy access to a network of relationships which can be maliciously exploited. I know that ETSI is continuously working on additional standards helping to secure the data and to better specify eIDAS. But I did not find any notable source so far that allows to discuss this in the article. Please contribute! ScienceGuard ( talk) 08:13, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
Should the 1st and 2nd versions of the law be separate articles or single ones? DenverCoder9 ( talk) 15:37, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
A significant proportion of publications covering the law specifically examine Article 45, so I've put more weight to it, since this seems to be the most historically significant provision of the law. DenverCoder19 ( talk) 16:21, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
The section "Man-in-the-middle attacks and mass surveillance" has a very negative tone. It also states various factually incorrect statements and fearmongering. I have problems with the following:
- The term "EU Government". This sounds like the EU as a organization will be able to read, decrypt and perhaps re-encrypt HTTPS traffic, when it is in fact the national government that would be able do that.
- The mentions about the EU being able to "hack into any internet-enabled device" is too extreme and unsubstantiated with the sources provided. While yes, internet traffic could theoretically be intercepted and decrypted, that alone wouldn't allow "the EU" to "hack any internet-enabled device".
For this I am marking this section as disputed. Creekie ( talk) 10:41, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
A user added "While the main language of that text..." If I'm reading this correctly, it suggests that web browsers will be able to detect a MITM. However, they will still be able to perform the MITM, which is what a wide range of organizations were concerned about.
Is there a third-party source that analyzes this assertion? The source appears to be a single organization and not a secondary source. DenverCoder19 ( talk) 01:48, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
