31
+ ## Overview
32
+
33
+ Identity verification is fundamental to secure digital interactions. This library provides a robust, production-ready interface to Estonian e-identity infrastructure—one of the most advanced digital identity systems in the world—enabling bulletproof authentication for Ruby applications.
34
+
35
+ The library seamlessly integrates:
36
+ - **Hardware Security Modules** (HSM) embedded in Estonian ID cards
37
+ - **PKCS#11 cryptographic interface** (industry-standard smart card communication)
38
+ - **X.509 certificate infrastructure** (PKI-based digital trust)
39
+ - **Estonian personal identification system** (comprehensive demographic encoding)
40
+
41
+ ### Why Estonian ID Cards?
42
+
43
+ Estonia pioneered digital identity in 2002, creating the world's first nationwide public key infrastructure. Today, 99% of Estonians possess digital identity, making it the most digitally advanced society globally. Estonian ID cards provide:
44
+
45
+ - **Government-issued PKI certificates** with legal validity
46
+ - **Hardware security modules** for tamper-resistant key storage
47
+ - **Standardized PKCS#11 interface** for broad compatibility
48
+ - **Comprehensive personal data encoding** in certificate fields
49
+ - **Mature ecosystem** with 20+ years of real-world usage
50
+
51
+ This library provides production-ready access to this proven infrastructure for Ruby applications.
52
+
53
+ ## Key Features
54
+
55
+ ### 🛡️ Enterprise-Grade Security
56
+ - **Hardware-based cryptography**: All operations occur within the card's tamper-resistant secure element
57
+ - **PIN verification on-chip**: PINs never leave the card, preventing interception
58
+ - **Certificate-based authentication**: Uses X.509 certificates signed by Estonian government CA
59
+ - **Session management**: Timeout-based sessions prevent unauthorized access
60
+ - **PKCS#11 compliance**: Industry standard cryptographic interface
61
+
62
+ ### 🔬 Comprehensive Data Extraction
63
+ - **Complete demographic parsing**: Birth date, gender, age calculation with precision
64
+ - **Estonian personal code decoding**: Mathematical algorithm covering 4 centuries (1800-2199)
65
+ - **Certificate field mapping**: Extracts all available personal information
66
+ - **Unicode support**: Handles Estonian characters and international names flawlessly
67
+
68
+ ### ⚡ High Performance
69
+ - **Lazy loading**: PKCS#11 libraries loaded only when needed
70
+ - **Shared instances**: Prevents resource conflicts in multi-process environments
71
+ - **Memory efficient**: Minimal footprint suitable for embedded systems
72
+ - **Error resilient**: Graceful handling of hardware failures and user errors
73
+
74
+ ### 🔧 Exceptional Developer Experience
75
+ - **Simple API**: Authentication in 3 lines of code
76
+ - **Comprehensive testing**: Unit tests, integration tests, hardware tests
77
+ - **Rich documentation**: Every method thoroughly documented
78
+ - **Make-based workflow**: Streamlined development commands

428
+
429
+ puts "Birth Date: #{info[:birth_date]}" # 1980-01-01
430
+ puts "Gender: #{info[:gender]}" # Male
431
+ puts "Age: #{info[:age]}" # Current age
432
+ ```
433
+
434
+ ## Troubleshooting
435
+
436
+ ### Common Issues and Solutions
437
+
438
+ #### "PKCS#11 library not found"
439
+ ```bash
440
+ # macOS
441
+ brew install opensc
442
+
443
+ # Ubuntu/Debian
444
+ sudo apt-get install opensc-pkcs11
445
+
446
+ # Verify installation
447
+ find /usr -name "*opensc-pkcs11*" 2>/dev/null
448
+ ```
449
+
450
+ #### "No Estonian ID card found"
451
+ - Ensure card is properly inserted
452
+ - Check card reader connection
453
+ - Verify card reader drivers are installed
454
+ - Try restarting PC/SC service
455
+
456
+ #### "Invalid PIN1"
457
+ - Verify PIN1 (not PIN2 for signing)
458
+ - Check if PIN is blocked (3 failed attempts)
459
+ - Use DigiDoc4 to unblock if needed
460
+
461
+ #### Performance Issues
462
+ - Check USB connection quality
463
+ - Ensure no other applications are accessing the card
464
+ - Verify card reader compatibility
465
+

+ ### Web Application Integration
570
+
571
+ **Important**: In web applications, the card reader must be connected to the **server**, not the client browser. This library performs server-side authentication.
572
+
573
+ ```ruby
574
+ # Rails controller example
575
+ class AuthController < ApplicationController
576
+ def initiate
577
+ verifier = EeIdVerification.new
578
+
579
+ unless verifier.available?
580
+ return render json: {
581
+ error: "No Estonian ID card detected on server",
582
+ message: "Please ensure card is inserted in server-side reader"
583
+ }
584
+ end
585
+
586
+ session = verifier.authenticate
587
+ session[:auth_session_id] = session.id
588
+
589
+ render json: {
590
+ session_id: session.id,
591
+ expires_at: session.expires_at
592
+ }
593
+ end
594
+
595
+ def complete
596
+ session_id = session[:auth_session_id]
597
+ pin = params[:pin]
598
+
599
+ # In production, store and retrieve session objects properly
600
+ session_obj = retrieve_session(session_id)
601
+ return render json: { error: "Session not found" } unless session_obj
602
+
603
+ result = verifier.complete_authentication(session_obj, pin)
604
+
605
+ if result.success?
606
+ user = find_or_create_user(result)
607
+ session[:user_id] = user.id
608
+
609
+ render json: {
610
+ success: true,
611
+ user: {
612
+ name: result.full_name,
613
+ personal_code: result.personal_code,
614
+ country: result.country
615
+ }
616
+ }
617
+ else
618
+ render json: { error: result.error }
619
+ end
620
+ end
621
+
622
+ private
623
+
624
+ def find_or_create_user(result)
625
+ User.find_or_create_by(personal_code: result.personal_code) do |user|
626
+ user.name = result.full_name
627
+ user.country = result.country
628
+ end
629
+ end
630
+
631
+ def retrieve_session(session_id)
632
+ # Implement proper session storage/retrieval
633
+ # This is a simplified example
634
+ @stored_sessions ||= {}
635
+ @stored_sessions[session_id]
636
+ end
637
+ end
638
+ ```
639
+
640
+ ### Docker Deployment
641
+
642
+ **Note**: Docker containers need special configuration for USB device access (card readers).
643
+
644
+ ```dockerfile
