The invention provides a
system for authenticating a signature on an information medium, comprising an
authentication server and the information medium. The
authentication server comprises an information collection component, an
encryption and decryption
algorithm computing component and a data storage stack. The surface of the information medium is provided with
ciphertext information obtained by encrypting signature information. The
encryption and decryption
algorithm computing component comprises an
encryption and decryption
algorithm computing module. The authorized signature information of the information medium owner is stored in the data storage stack. The information collection component collects the
ciphertext information and converts the
ciphertext information into the ciphertext
information data processed by the
authentication server. The encryption and decryption algorithm computing component decrypts the ciphertext
information data to obtain
plaintext of the signature information. The
authentication server realizes the authentication of the information medium by judging whether the
plaintext of the signature information is consistent with the authorized signature information prestored in the data storage stack by comparison. In the
system, the uniqueness and the non-imitability of the signature information are improved, thus ensuring the electronic bill to be used more safely. The
system obviously reduces the risks in using the electronic bill.
