The cynical take is that the current furore about #digitalsovereignty focuses on cloud and office software procurement by the public sector only because there exist some European providers that could gain market share.

For Android, the architecture relies on two mechanisms: Android KeyAttestation, which uses hardware-enforced signals including RootOfTrust.verifiedBootState and RootOfTrust.deviceLocked opencode to confirm a signed, verified boot image Android PlayIntegrity verdict, with the minimum requirement being MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY opencode That last point is the killer for de-Googled devices. MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY requires Google Play Services on a stock, unmodified Android image with a locked bootloader. CalyxOS, GrapheneOS (default profile), LineageOS, /e/OS — none of these would pass. The document explicitly notes that MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY also requires the device to have received a security patch within the last 12 months. opencode On CalyxOS specifically: CalyxOS uses microG, which implements partial Play Integrity support — but it typically only reaches MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY, not MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY. The wallet as architected would reject it outright. The deeper issue is that the architecture document doesn't mention any alternative attestation path at all. There's no provision for hardware security keys, alternative trusted execution environments, or self-sovereign attestation mechanisms — things the open source community has been pushing for precisely to avoid this kind of platform lock-in. The irony is considerable given this is a government identity infrastructure published under CC BY 4.0 on OpenCode.
@pojntfx At the moment, I cannot fully understand the document you shared, so I use an AI assistant (sorry in advance).
I want to install CalyxOS on my #Fairphone soon:

Digital sovereignty in a polarised world. Hand holding a transparent sphere at the beach.
Digital sovereignty is a relevant topic in today's world where
Governments sometimes enforce regulations that clash with international privacy standards, creating challenges.

I don't know whether "Faces a split Asia" is the formulation I would use. I'd say the US and China are each equally responsible for the digital "sovereignty walls" going up. After all, why shouldn't countries try to protect their citizens' privacy?

True sovereignty isn't granted by platforms; it's forged in code we control. From Cypheria's autonomous cycles to our own distributed networks, reclaiming digital agency one line at a time. Build your future on your own terms. #DigitalSovereignty #Cypheria
In the rush to pursue #digitalsovereignty , there must be a temptation to consider whatever isn't foreign-owned and -controlled to be sovereign. But sovereignty is only real if it supports the foundational values of the nation; Canadian digital resources that erode charter rights or democratic […]

#Digitalsovereignty is big in Austria 🇦🇹
At the Nextcloud Enterprise Day in Vienna, we’ve had many conversations with the country’s educational and public sectors.
Jan Vales shares his experience with building a sovereign platform at TU Wien.

Weil Cloudflare nicht „nur CDN“ ist, sondern ein integrierter Stack:

Un aspetto del software libero un po' tecnico ma di vitale importanza è l'hosting della quasi totalità dei sorgenti open source su piattaforme proprietarie come github. Software libero gestito dalle big tech, una contraddizione in termini.
