The German electronic health records system has had a minor setback.
The master internal security key was accidentally erased. Unfortunately that very large random number is needed to authenticate the ID cards. It wouldn't be much of a problem if they had a backup copy, but they don't.
Every first generation card has to be replaced. It's a good thing that the system was still in the testing phase.
Needless to say, everybody's pointing fingers at everybody else.
