[OpenID - Eu] Republic of Lithuania goes OpenID

[Nat Sakimura]

Hi.

It is a great news.

I have several questions.

1. In which field the OpenID Identifier is stored in the certificate?
2. What is the format of the ID card? (Specification of the chip).
3. How is OpenID is supposed to be used in the government space?
4. What kind of authentication is performed using the ID card?
5. When issueing the ID card, what kind of identity proofing is being done?
    e.g., is it face to face? or through Post or something?
6. What is stored inside the certificate?
     Actual Sample would be nice.
7. Is the certificate a Qualified Certificate?
8. What is the privacy provision? Does the government run OpenID provider
    creates unique pseudonym for each RPs?

I might have more questions, but for the time being, the above is what
I would like to know.

Thanks!
