Abstract: A digital signature is applied to digital documents/information. In certain instances, juridically strong digital signatures are achieved. Cloud computing technologies may be used to aid in the production of the cryptographically secure, authenticated digital signatures. Digital signatures may be produced with a digital notarization. The techniques of generating a digital signature may not require the use of traditional public key infrastructure (PKI).

Abstract: A mobile intellectual property protection apparatus and methodology maintains digitally recorded IP-related evidence using cryptographic techniques to definitively and securely maintain the secrecy of a digitally recorded evidence of an intellectual property by immediately establishing a tamper-proof time-stamp of the temporal existence of the recorded evidence. The digitally recorded intellectual property is designed to serve as a digital expert witness to assist in establishing, for example, the conception of an invention or other legal claims.
