Abstract

As digital media storage is growing ever more popular, security of this data is becoming more and more important. Intruders can relatively easily alter digital files and documents. Several customers, such as the Harold B. Lee Library, the archivist of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the Director of the Center for Earth Remote Sensing, need the assurance of data integrity, as the users of these files require unaltered content. A digital signature signing server can receive a digital file, digitally sign it, and store the digital signature with the original file. When needed, the server can regenerate the signature and compare it with the original signature. If these signatures match, it would ensure file integrity. If not, it would mean that the file has been tampered with.
