At the end of this year, almost 3 million belgian people will have the new electronical ID. Of course a lot of companies are already testing this new smartcard. It's specially designed for signing electronical documents en authorize people. In the future microsoft will also use this card to identify a msn messenger user.
I already tested the card with an usb smartcard reader.
The following data is stored on the card:
Address, BeginValidity, EndValidity, Birthplace, birthdate, Nationality, Sex, Firstname , lastname, Secondname, a unique card id, your unique belgian id, ... some other data and a few certificates.
Also a jpg picture is stored on the card.
At this moment, the belgian goverment provides an ActiveX control to read the information.
