Paper Abstract:
|
Electronic documents are often exchanged in e-Government and e-Business processes. In e-Government, the usage and importance of electronic documents has significantly increased particularly in cross-border scenarios, especially due to the implementation of the EU Services Directive. To ensure genuineness, in many situations electronic signatures are applied on the documents exchanged. Besides of their application, verification of electronic signatures is essential. Current solutions for the verification of electronic signatures usually support a subset of existing signature formats only. In addition, electronic documents require some kind of detailed description on higher level, e.g. through meta data. If corresponding meta data are recognized as incomplete or wrong during document exchange, additional costs and time delays may occur. Here, the need of previous data validation arises. To overcome these issues, we introduce an approach for secure and efficient processing of electronic documents, particularly focusing on signature and meta data verification. Our solution follows a generic concept and is not limited to certain use cases. Nevertheless, we present our approach based on the findings of the EU Large Scale Pilot Project SPOCS. Finally, we elaborate on the movement of verification and validation services into the cloud. |
