I came here from the scary url-shortener link you shared in your Defcon talk I wish I could thumbs up this video more than once Thanks for a great interview
As a Finn, I can only hope we had similar political leaders today. I mean, the politicians in Finland are not hopeless but they're way below the level of Ilves when it comes to anything related to technology or science.
There are very few, petrus pennanen comes to mind, a software enterpreneur and has a phd in nuclear physics. He's done a lot of decent work in the city council of Helsinki, but one man can only do so much. Probably the situation among the govt officials that inform the parliament during the law making process is much better, but they are rarely visible to the public.
It took me far too long and a defcon to find this podcast. I knew that our former President is technologically savy, but I had no idea he knows/knew anything of coding. I can only hope that other, my aged, people from Estonia will make it to the right chairs in EU / Nato or another organisation, that will be able to change the course of legislations and push cyber security across borders.
how hands down amazing. the example of silicon valley being so backward with paper work but so forward with tech is so true! thanks for the wonderful conversation.
That was an excellent listen and watch! It would be great to have links to the podcast versions of the conversations in the description of video so we can click less to get there. Thanks!
47:00 The data integrity described here is basically a public notary system where public notary accepts id string, cryptographic hash and then the notary signs it with a timestamp and adds it to blockchain which has nothing to do with money but has the property that the longer the blockchain is, the more trust you can put on the old hashes stored in the log. And if you use UUIDv4 ids with such a system, you can keep this ledger fully public because the public data cannot tell what was the original data and where it was stored. The most important part of this kind of service is that it's cheap/free to use for service providers so that you don't need to avoid using it at all costs. This is similar to using your real citizen id to log-in to services. If using official id for sign-in (like here in Finland) costs minumum of 0.10 EUR per login, everybody is going to try to invent tricks to avoid using real sign-in process. And this obviously undermines the security of the system. And the reason for the high cost here in Finland is caused by the fact that the sign-in service is not maintained by the government but by the commercial banks! And the Finland has had this problem for two decades already and the politicians still fail to understand the problem at large!
Why can't we all have presidents and prime ministers as cool and as smart as Toomas Hendrik Ilves?

Thanks for a great interview
Great Podcast, and great content, hopefully more English episodes, for us that we don't know Finnish. :-)
Toomas Ilves is a perfect example of a LEADER who have vision and understanding of the future. Great episode!

Out of many great episodes, this was one is now my favorite.
No wonder that Toomas Hendrik Ilves had big role to develop Estonias IT. Very wise man 👍
This interview is good add on to this channel

Toomas Hendrik Ilves is so cool!
Mindblowing Podcast, thanks for this awesome content, hopfully in the future more in English 😀
Wonderful discussion and some really great ideas put forward, hopefully some, if not all, of them will be implemented in the near future.
