DIGITAL SIGNATURE. DIGITAL PROTECTION METHOD

Summary/Abstract: A key element, in the current context, when hard copy tends to become a secondary means of presentation for documents, when transportation and archives are mainly electronic, consists of replacing the electronic document authentication methods with new services, adjusted to the latest information technologies. In this context, a critical role is played by digital signatures, as the means for authenticating the content of an electronic document and its issuer. This paper contains an overview of technologies existing at present, identifying design and implementation criteria in respect of inter-operable protection and security solutions to allow the users to trust the electronic documents and to operate efficiently in the context of the current computer networks.
