Electronic Record
1. Very easy to make copies
2. Very fast distribution
3. Easy archiving and retrieval
4. Copies are as good as original
5. Easily modifiable
6. Environmental Friendly
Because of 4 & 5 together, these lack authenticity

Why Digital Signatures?
•To provide Authenticity,
Integrity and Non-
repudiation to electronic
documents
•To use the Internet as the
safe and secure medium for
e-Commerce and e-
Governance

Message 2
The Internet knows no geographical boundaries.
It has redefined time and space. Advances in
computer and telecommunication technologies
have led to the explosive growth of the Internet.
This in turn is affecting the methods of
communication, work, study, education,
interaction, leisure, health, governance, trade
and commerce.

• These are digital signatures of same person on different documents

Concepts
• A 1024 bits number is a very big number much
bigger than the total number of electrons in whole
world.
• Trillions of Trillions of pairs of numbers exist in this
range with each pair having following property
– A message encrypted with one element of the
pair can be decrypted ONLY by the other element
of the same pair
• Two numbers of a pair are called keys, the Public
Key & the Private Key. User himself generates his
own key pair on his computer
• Any message irrespective of its length can be
compressed or abridged uniquely into a smaller
length message called the Digest or the Hash.
• Smallest change in the message will change the
Hash value
Click for Hash Generation

What is Digital Signature?
• Hash value of a message when
encrypted with the private key of a
person is his digital signature on that
e-Document
– Digital Signature of a person
therefore varies from document to
document thus ensuring authenticity
of each word of that document.
– As the public key of the signer is
known, anybody can verify the
message and the digital signature

Digital Signatures
Each individual generates his own key pair
[Public key known to everyone & Private key only to the owner]
Private Key – Used for making digital signature
Public Key – Used to verify the digital signature

• Key Generation
– Random Numbers
– RSA Key Pair [Private/Public Key]
• Digital Signature
– Generate Message Digest
[SHA1]
– Encrypting Digest using Private
Key [Signatures]
– Attaching the Signatures to the
message.
• Verification of Signatures
– Run the test for Authentication,
Integrity and Non repudiation.
• Digital Signature Certificate
– ITU X.509 v3

Private key protection
• The Private key generated is
to be protected and kept
secret. The responsibility of
the secrecy of the key lies
with the owner.
• The key is secured using
– PIN Protected soft token
– Smart Cards
– Hardware Tokens

PIN protected soft tokens
• The Private key is encrypted
and kept on the Hard Disk in
a file, this file is password
protected.
• This forms the lowest level
of security in protecting the
key, as
– The key is highly reachable.
– PIN can be easily known or
cracked.
• Soft tokens are also not
preferred because
– The key becomes static and
machine dependent.
– The key is in known file
format.

Smart Cards
• The Private key is generated
in the crypto module
residing in the smart card.
• The key is kept in the
memory of the smart card.
• The key is highly secured as
it doesn’t leave the card, the
message digest is sent
inside the card for signing,
and the signatures leave the
card.
• The card gives mobility to
the key and signing can be
done on any system. (Having
smart card reader)

Hardware Tokens
• They are similar to smart
cards in functionality as
– Key is generated inside the
token.
– Key is highly secured as it
doesn’t leave the token.
– Highly portable.
– Machine Independent.
• iKEY is one of the most
commonly used token as it
doesn’t need a special
reader and can be
connected to the system
using USB port.

Smart Card
iKey
Hardware Tokens
Biometrics – adds another level of security to these tokens

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
• Some Trusted Agency is required which
certifies the association of an individual with
the key pair.
Certifying Authority (CA)
• This association is done by issuing a
certificate to the user by the CA
Public key certificate (PKC)
• All public key certificates are digitally signed
by the CA

Certifying Authority
• Must be widely known and trusted
• Must have well defined Identification process before
issuing the certificate
• Provides online access to all the certificates issued
• Provides online access to the list of certificates
revoked
• Displays online the license issued by the Controller
• Displays online approved Certification Practice
Statement (CPS)
• Must adhere to IT Act/Rules/Regulations and
Guidelines
• Must be widely known and trusted
• Must have well defined Identification process before
issuing the certificate
• Provides online access to all the certificates issued

More than one person are required for signing

surveillance on 24x7 basis.

Trust Path
•Controller is the Root certifying authority
responsible for regulating Certifying
Authorities (CAs)
• Controller certifies the association of CA
with his public key
•Certifying Authority (CA) is the trusted
authority responsible for creating or
certifying identities.
•CA certifies the association of an
individual with his public key

Role of controller
Controller of Certifying Authorities
as the “Root” Authority certifies the
technologies,infrastructure and
practices of all the Certifying
Authorities licensed to issue Digital
Signature Certificates

Summary
• Each individual has a pair of keys
• Public key of each individual is certified
by a CA (Certifying Authority)
• Public keys of CAs are certified by the
Controller
• Public key of the Controller is self
certified
• Public keys of everyone are known to all
concerned and are also available on the
web
• Certification Practice Statement is
displayed on the web site
