Cultures of Trust: Legal, Technical, and Archival Perspectives on the Use of Digital Signature Technologies
نویسنده
چکیده
After examining some of the findings of two InterPARES 2 case studies involving the use of cryptographic technologies in e-government initiatives, the author reflects on the different ways in which the issues related to the preservation of digitally signed records and the concept of “electronic authenticity” are perceived, and put into practice, by the various interested professional groups, i.e., legislators, IT experts and archivists.

متن کاملThe Role of Data Integrity in EU Digital Signature Legislation - Achieving Statutory Trust for Sanitizable Signature Schemes
We analyse the legal requirements that digital signature schemes have to fulfil to achieve the Statutory Trust granted by the EU electronic signature laws (“legally equivalent to hand-written signatures”). Legally, we found that the possibility to detect subsequent changes is important for the Statutory Trust. However, detectability was neither adequately nor precisely enough defined in the tec...
متن کاملSecurity and Trust in the Italian Legal Digital Signature Framework
The early adoption of a national, legal digital signature framework in Italy has brought forth a series of problems and vulnerabilities. In this paper we describe each of them, showing how in each case the issue does not lie in the algorithms and technologies adopted, but either in faulty implementations, bad design choices, or legal and methodological issues. We also show which countermeasures...
متن کاملThe digital signature dilemma Le dilemme de la signature numérique
The last ten years have seen an enormous amount of legal, regulatory, and technological activity aimed at designing a proper electronic equivalent to handwritten signatures. One such design, that of cryptology-based (or digital) signatures, has succeeded over other solutions to the point where, in certain legal systems, such as those of the Member States of the European Union, electronic signat...
متن کاملThe new protocol blind digital signature based on the discrete logarithm problem on elliptic curve
In recent years it has been trying that with regard to the question of computational complexity of discrete logarithm more strength and less in the elliptic curve than other hard issues, applications such as elliptic curve cryptography, a blind digital signature method, other methods such as encryption replacement DLP. In this paper, a new blind digital signature scheme based on elliptic curve...
