Fair digital signing: The structural reliability of signed documents
The exchange of digitally signed data inherits all the problems related to the indeterminacy of human communication, which are further intensified by the legal implications of signing. One of the fundamental intrinsic weaknesses of digital signatures is that the signer creates a signature on a series of bits, which may be differently transformed and perceived by the verifier (or relying party),...
متن کاملPervasive digital signatures: Syntactic robustness and simplicity of signed documents
The action of digitally signing has several intrinsic weaknesses that introduce syntactic and semantic distance between a signer and a relying party. As a result, digitally signed documents cannot be trusted and thus be widely deployed in pervasive environments. We evaluate the syntactic robustness of digitally signed documents by exploiting one key quantitative measure (the structural informat...
متن کاملA fair protocol for signing contracts
Abtract-Two parties, A and B , want to sign a contract C over a communication network. To do so, they must “simultaneously” exchange their commitments to C. Since simultaneous exchange is usually impossible in practice, protocols are needed to approximate simultaneity by exchanging partial commitments in piece by piece manner. During such a protocol, one party or another may have a slight advan...
متن کاملA Fair Protocol for Signing Contracts
Assume that two parties, A and B, want to sign a contract over a communication network, i.e. they want to exchange their "commitments" to the contract. We consider a contract signing protocol to be fair if, at any stage in its execution, the following hold: the conditional probability that party A obtains B's signature to the contract given that B has obtained ,4's signature to the contract, is...
