You should keep your smart ID card in safe custody and not to disclose the e-Cert PIN to other persons.

In case you lose your smart ID card but your e-cert PIN is not known to anyone other than yourself, others should not be able to access your e-Cert even they hold your smart ID card.

2. Can I gain access to e-Cert and private key stored on others' smart ID cards?

No, you cannot access the e-Cert and private key stored on others' smart ID cards without the respective e-Cert PIN.
