  • An infrastructure for community signatures and micro-agreements [Elektronski vir] : architecture, Android prototype implementation, and usage examples
    Vardjan, Mitja ; Porekar, Jan, 1975-
    Digital signatures are widely used for non-repudiation and other purposes. In various cases, there is a group of two or more parties that have to agree on a common set of data and digitally sign it ... in order to provide the other party or parties a proof of non-repudiation. A simple and scalable infrastructure for community signatures or groups of individual party signatures is described. It allows third party applications to simultaneously digitally sign arbitrary XML documents by any number of entities, for any purpose, using high level interfaces, not having to deal with digital signatures themselves. A dedicated backend server dynamically merges received documents and signatures from all parties. When a sufficient number of entities have signed the document, a signal is triggered to announce the document finalization. Despite the simple overall design, handling security issues and user control at appropriate spots are crucial for any business application.
