  • Publication number: 20140337617
    Abstract: Long-term signature data is formed at a server side while a private key and the like are held at a client side. The long-term signature data is configured by arranging ES, STS, verification information, ATS (1st), and ATS (2nd) in a predetermined long-term signature format. Among these elements, those for which processing using the private key and original data are necessary are ES and ATS. Due to processing where the original data and the private key is necessary being performed by a client terminal 3 and processing where the long-term signature data is analyzed and generated being performed by a long-term signature server 2, the long-term signature data is generated in the long-term signature server 2 while the original data and the private key are held in an inner portion of the client terminal 3.

  • Publication number: 20130326225
    Abstract: A client terminal 3 can generate PAdES while performing communication with a long-term signature server 2 without delivering a PDF document and a secret key used in an electronic signature to the long-term signature server 2. PAdES is a long-term signature format which is specified for a PDF file. The client terminal 3 transmits CAdES with the electronic signature before time stamp issuance to the long-term signature server 2 to request to issue a time stamp to CAdES. The client terminal 3 requests the long-term signature server 2 to collect verification information, acquires the verification information, further generates information for confirming unfalsification of a signed PDF document and the verification information therefrom, and transmits the information to the long-term signature server 2 to request to generate DTS. With the above, it is possible to perform a long-term signature while retaining confidential information on a user side.
