Comment on Estonia blocks electronic ID cards over identity-theft riskparentComments−ProblemFactory8yEstonian ID card uses 2048 byte keys which means generating a private key from a public key takes 140.8 CPU yearsTo clarify, 2048 bit RSA keys are fine. But the smartcard that generates these used a too predictable algorithm for generating the keys.
