Digital Signatures: How Close Is Europe to Truly Interoperable Solutions?
نویسنده
چکیده
Digital signatures have been a hot topic in the e-government era as a key enabler for e-services provided to business and citizens, and secure exchange of e-documents. When this exchange crosses the borders of closed systems or EU’s Member States several interoperability issues arise. In EU many schemes and solutions have been proposed to overcome some problems, yet there is still more to be done. This paper provides a survey of the actions taken to promote interoperable use of digital signatures and identifies areas that EU has to invest to achieve the desired level of interoperability.

Interoperable and Flexible Digital Signatures for E-Government and E-Commerce
The paper at hand presents the concept of a flexible and interoperable public key infrastructure, the so called FlexiPKI. We show how this concept and its realization enables long term security in e-government and e-commerce. As a proof of concept, we describe the implementation of the FlexiPKI concept at the root certification authority in Germany.

This paper presents two related activities, the first is the OASIS Digital Signature Services (DSS) standard, the second is the application of digital signatures to electronic invoicing as recognised under recent European legislation. DSS can be used to support a range of signature formats including the binary “cryptographic message syntax” and XML signatures, as well as related extended format...
متن کاملVideo Identification Solution Using a “ Video Signature ”
NEC’s video identification technology enables instant video content identification by extracting a unique descriptor called a “video signature” from video content. This technology is approved as the MPEG-7 Video Signature Tool; an international standard of interoperable descriptors used for video identification. The video signature is an extremely robust tool for identifying videos with alterna...
متن کاملDigital Rights Management
This article describes the work of the Digital Media Project (DMP) which is developing an industry-agnostic and scalable DRM standard that can at least reduce the most blatant impositions of DRM. As part of the effort, the DMP is also providing an Open Source Software implementation of the standard that can be exploited to accelerate the deployment of interoperable DRM solutions and to test how...
متن کاملScalable Group Signatures with Revocation
Group signatures are a central cryptographic primitive, simultaneously supporting accountability and anonymity. They allow users to anonymously sign messages on behalf of a group they are members of. The recent years saw the appearance of several constructions with security proofs in the standard model (i.e., without appealing to the random oracle heuristic). For a digital signature scheme to b...
