On: Android's Achilles' Heel (for the rest of the world) - The Sim Toolkit

[antonlitvinenko]

I am actually subscribed to Sim Toolkit request/issue in Android issue tracker and each week it gets about 1-2 new requests. (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15070 and http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6666). And currently is not a single response from anybody representing Android team there.

My personal problem with this is that in Estonia MobileID (fancy way to authenticate yourself and authorize transactions in banks, public services and other web services - advertised as a more secure way comparing to username/passwords and one time tokens) works through Sim Toolkit.
