A User-Centric Approach for Secured eDocument Transmission: Digital Signing Practical Issues and the eCert Solution
A User-Centric Approach for Secured eDocument Transmission: Digital Signing Practical Issues and the eCert Solution
Digital signing is commonly used in eDocument security, but does not address all requirements such as fine-grained access control and content status validation. A system for distributing electronic educational certificates (eCertificates) is used as a case study in the eCert project. This paper describes the issues, identifies the required use cases, explores the gap between current techniques and the desired system, and presents a design which meets the requirements. A preliminary implementation confirms that the design is a sound one, and can be used to solve digital signing issues in related scenarios such as mobile IDs and healthcare records.

Abstract
Digital signing is commonly used in eDocument security, but does not address all requirements such as fine-grained access control and content status validation. A system for distributing electronic educational certificates (eCertificates) is used as a case study in the eCert project. This paper describes the issues, identifies the required use cases, explores the gap between current techniques and the desired system, and presents a design which meets the requirements. A preliminary implementation confirms that the design is a sound one, and can be used to solve digital signing issues in related scenarios such as mobile IDs and healthcare records.
