I just came across with this article of March 4. 

I cannot read German so google translating it. I do not know the fidelity of it, but apparently the combination of German eID and OpenID was app approved by the State Procurement Agency for authorization certificates (VfB) so that official website operator can authenticate the users with their eID card their legally. Correct me if I am wrong. Perhaps a German reader can further explain what it is. I am also interested in how they implemented the authorization certificate / terminal certificate portion.
