I really appreciate the ideas and the work of the open source community.
There is a Bulgarian law, regarding e-signature. It defines "e-signature"
in a vague and simplified way, however, uses the terms "public" and "private key".
Further on, 5 Bulgarian companies are "certified" to "generate" and service
e-signatures for all people in Bulgaria. Every single service, for example,
generating a key, or "installing the key on a single computer" costs about 100
USD. In Bulgaria only the keys generated and serviced by these companies are
valid e-signatures.
I am aware of PGP - GnuPG story, which is one of the most remarkable events in
GNU history. It really concerns freedom, and rights.
The e-signatures, generated by the above mentioned Bulgarian companies, are
certainly PGP or GnuPG implementation. This is not explicitly declared neither
in the law, nor in their work.
I have signed the Fedora CLA agreement with a GnuPG generated key. Does that
make the agreement invalid? Or, are local Bulgarian laws above international,
monopolizing recognized international software and thus, profiting hundreds of
millions dollars? I greatly doubt if the "proper management" and "usage" of the
keys, mentioned in the law, is possible without the international key servers.
Mr Tasaka, can the open source community verify the software, used by these
companies to implement PGP? Or, verify the lawfulness of the implicit usage, and
restrictions, applied by Bulgarian government on PGP implementations?
