42 results about "Digital signature forgery" patented technology

In a cryptographic digital signature or MAC system, digital signature forgery is the ability to create a pair consisting of a message, m, and a signature (or MAC), σ, that is valid for m, where m has not been signed in the past by the legitimate signer. There are three types of forgery: existential, selective, and universal.

Self-authentication of value documents using digital signatures

An encryption-free technique for enabling the self-authentication of value documents (including personal and commercial checks) presented at a point of purchase or financial institution. Certain data contained on the value document may be signed with a first digital signature and authenticated with a public key certificate issued from a trusted certificate authority. The signed data and public key certificate are stored on the value document, preferably in a two-dimensional bar code data format. In the case of certain personal value documents (such as checks, credit cards, passports, birth certificates, Social Security cards, etc.), a unique personal identification number (PIN) also may be included in the document data that is signed by a second digital signature. At a point of purchase, a merchant or teller can scan and read the data stored in the two-dimensional bar code and other magnetically recorded information, and together with the PIN the customer provides, can authenticate the value document thus presented using the second digital signature. Alternatively, if the customer is not present, if the personal value document contains the second digital signature, the document may be verified using a PIN-generating algorithm or other method that generates all permutations of PINs. The first digital signature alone may be used to authenticate selected data within the personal value document even when the PIN is not available. Similarly, in the case of a commercial value documents, authentication of pre-printed data may be based entirely upon only the first digital signature.

Electronically verified digital signature and document delivery system and method

The secure messaging system of the invention encrypts an electronic document using a symmetric key and transmits the encrypted document and related message parameters to a recipient whose identity is then authenticated by a web server. The web server dynamically regenerates the symmetric key from a hidden key and from the message parameters accompanying the encrypted document, and thus avoids having to maintain a central repository of encrypted documents as required by typical “post and pick-up” encrypted messaging systems. Further, an audit trail produced while practicing the invention provides timestamped message digest data for a plurality of time intervals, where the message digests for adjacent time intervals are computationally linked together. The audit trail effectively enables timestamped message digest data to verify not only the existence of a document during a first time interval, but also to verify the existence of documents encountered in a prior time interval.

Method and apparatus for validating a digital signature

Method and system are described for validating a digital signature. More particularly, a signed message and a corresponding certificate are received. The certificate is checked for validation. A validation statement is generated, and the certificate validation and the signed message provide a status. This status represents a request for validation, and is provided along with a set of validations among which such status is an element. A digest is generated using a Merkle authentication tree corresponding to the set of validations, and this digest is signed with a private key. Accordingly, a notary may provide the signed digest, status and the set of validations for subsequent confirmation of the digital signature.

System and method for verifying digital signatures on certificates

A system and method for verifying a digital signature on a certificate, which may be used in the processing of encoded messages. In one embodiment, when a digital signature is successfully verified in a signature verification operation, the public key used to verify that digital signature is cached. When a subsequent attempt to verify the digital signature is made, the public key to be used to verify the digital signature is compared to the cached key. If the keys match, the digital signature can be successfully verified without requiring that a signature verification operation in which some data is decoded using the public key be performed.

Quantum digital signatures

Systems and methods for providing secure quantum digital signatures. In one embodiment, a digital signature user creates a plurality of identical “public” keys having one or more bits and a corresponding quantum mechanical one-way function. Quantum digital signature recipients use a “swap test” to check the validity of a copy of the key, and compare the test results with others. The quantum digital signature user sends a signed message over any channel, including an insecure channel. The recipients evaluate the signed message, and quantify the number of incorrect keys. The message is deemed valid and original, or forged and / or tampered with, when the number of incorrect keys is less than a lower threshold, or exceeds an upper threshold, respectively. For an intermediate number of incorrect keys, the recipients determine message authenticity by comparing observations. Hardware useful for application of the method is disclosed.

Distributive computation of a digital signature

A method and apparatus are presented to perform a distributive computation of a digital signature in a document signing process. A signing request from a remote device initiates the document signing process including the distributive computation. The server verifies digital certificates corresponding to a signer's public key. An encryption request including a set of authenticated attributes and a hash value based on the to-be-signed content is transmitted to the remote device. A signer at the remote device encrypts the hash value in the encryption request with an encryption process utilizing a private key. The resulting encrypted hash value is transmitted to the server to produce the digital signature used to sign the subject content. This distributive computation process minimizes the amount of data transmitted between devices, while minimizing remote device resource requirements, and maintains the integrity of the signer's private key during generation of the digital signature.

Method, system, and program product for generating and validating digital signatures

Under the present invention, an electronic document is accessed. Each user interface control (UIC) in the electronic document is confirmed to be operationally classified as signed or unsigned by a given digital signature based on whether the UIC is associated with a data node that is signed by the digital signature. It is then determined whether the signed UIC is visible. A token representing a geometric location of the visible signed UIC within a visual representation of the electronic document and a relative location of the visible signed UIC to other visible signed UICs in the electronic document is then recorded. However, if the UIC is contained within any hierarchic UICs, the location thereof is first converted to the geometric location within the visual representation prior to recording the token. The digital signature can then be generated and / or validated unless a UIC overlap and / or layout violation is committed.
