+==== Digital signatures in Belgium ====
+It's possible to sign documents digitally using the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_national_identity_card|Belgian National Identity Card]]. The official recommendation is “Use Adobe Acrobat on Windows or Mac” however you can sign documents without using proprietary software…
+Assuming you have the card, card reader and eID software setup...
+  * insert eID card into card reader
+  * open **Firefox** and go to ''about:preferences#privacy''((It isn’t always necessary to unlock the card from Firefox but can help if LibreOffice doesn’t see the certificates.))
+    * click “Security Devices”
+    * in “Device Manager” select “Generic Smart Card Reader interface” (you should see your card info)
+    * click  “Login” then enter the PIN for your eID card
+  * open **LibreOffice**
+    * in the “File” menu select “Digital Signatures” and then “Sign Existing PDF" and chose the file to sign
+    * the opened file should have a header containing two buttons “Edit Document” and “Sign Document”
+    * click on “Sign Document” (and the next “Sign Document” button than appears...)
+    * a pop-up will ask for a password, you will need to enter the PIN for your eID card
+    * a “Select Certificate” dialog box should appear.
+    * choose the key with your name and “(Authentication)”
+    * click “Sign Document” and then “Sign”
+    * the “Digital Signatures” dialog should be updated to show that your signature has been added.
+    * click  “Close”
+    * you should then see the document window updated to include signatures
+  * the PDF should now include your digital signature
