whitepaper Security Analysis of a Cryptographically-Enabled RFID Device2006-01-05 01:01:44
  This paper describes the success in defeating the security of an RFID device known as a Digital Signature Transponder (DST). Manufactured by Texas Instruments, DST (and variant) devices help secure millions of SpeedPass payment transponders and automobile ignition keys. Several steps were accomplished using inexpensive off-the-shelf equipment, and with minimal RF expertise. This suggests that an attacker with modest resources can emulate a target DST after brief short-range scanning or long-range eavesdropping across several authentication sessions. The paper concludes that the cryptographic protection afforded by the DST device is relatively weak.   
whitepaper A Primer on Electronic Document Security2005-08-23 03:00:03
  This white paper is intended to provide the reader with a brief overview of relevant document security issues and technologies, as well as to introduce the Adobe suite of document security solutions. The white paper also summarizes Adobe implementations for document control and digital signatures. As organizations move more business processes online, protecting the confidentiality and privacy of information used during these processes, as well as providing authenticity and integrity, are essential. Because many automated processes rely on electronic documents that contain sensitive information, organizations must properly protect these documents.   
whitepaper Demystifying DSS: The Digital Signature Standard20040302121930 SANS Institute
  This paper examines the requirements of signatures, outlines the technologies involved in creating digital signatures, and describes the components of the Digital Signature Standard (DSS). The basic concepts, not the math, are the focus of the technology investigation. Public key encryption algorithms and secure hash algorithms are explained and discussed. A discussion of the legal aspects of signatures is included. Finally, a comparison is made between paper signatures and digital signatures, showing that digital signatures provided within a well-provisioned Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) satisfy the requirements of signatures at least as well as paper signatures.   
whitepaper An Introduction to PKI20040302121619 ArticSoft
  This guide provides the reader with a basic introduction to key terms and concepts used in a PKI including Certificates, Keys and Authorities. It mentions the features and services used by the PKI and the techniques involved in public key cryptography.   
whitepaper Digital Signature Guidelines Tutorial20040302121607 American Bar Association
  From an information security viewpoint, these simple "electronic signatures" are distinct from the "digital signatures" described in this tutorial and in the technical literature, although "digital signature" is sometimes used to mean any form of computer- based signature. These Guidelines use "digital signature" only as it is used in information security terminology, as meaning the result of applying the technical processes described in this tutorial.   
whitepaper Comerica Bank: High Profile Transactions Made Secure With VeriSign2004-11-06 03:00:03
  Comerica is one of the twenty largest banks in the United States with $53 billion in total assets at the end of 2002. The challenge for Comerica is to provide a secure environment for banking transactions of business customers with a multi-billion-dollar financial services company. To develop a secure and sophisticated solution, Comerica chose to use Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) services from VeriSign. With VeriSign, Comerica has expanded its services beyond Internet-based wire transfers to foreign currency exchanges. A typical transaction using VeriSign technology works by issuing a digital certificate to a business customer, such as the member of a finance department at a car-maker, using VeriSign's PKI Services.   
whitepaper Changing Regulatory Processes to Support Competitive Business2005-08-30 03:00:02 IBM
  Governments have to create a regulatory environment that allows organizations to compete using electronic business. At present there is much confusion from financial and legal standpoints. Digital signatures need legislation to give them validity, and consistent policies on applicable local taxation need to be determined so that there is an established methodology conducive to the way in which modern businesses want to work.   
whitepaper Cyber Identity2005-08-30 03:00:01
  On the Internet it is difficult to be sure of the identity of the users of the services offered and the servers that offer services. This is a security problem and it is due to the original design of the Internet, which favored simple, dependable connections over identifying the users. This was reasonable since at that time there were no personal computers and operating systems nor an information superhighway. Besides, access to communications technology was restricted to a few elite organizations and had a high price. As the number of computers grew, many practical problems became apparent. It is now clear that a component that identifies message originators is necessary.   
whitepaper The Value of Authentication2006-10-19 06:45:12 Thawte
  One of the biggest problems facing your Internet business today is the thorny issue of trust and security. People simply don't trust the Web, fearing that their transactions might not be safe. This guide explains the critical role of authentication in online security as well as the business benefits which flow from creating trust on the Internet.
