whitepaper Electronic Signature Assurance and the Digital Chain of Evidence2007-07-07 ProofSpace
  This white paper defines the life cycle of an electronically signed record and describes the equivalence requirements throughout its retention period. A risk management framework is presented that defines a generic Digital Chain of Evidence that guides the architectural choices available in deploying an electronic signature solution.

whitepaper Adobe PDF for Electronic Records: Digital Signatures and PDF Combine for Definitive Electronic Records and Transactions2007-06-01 Adobe Systems
  Millions of people use Adobe PDF every day to communicate, making it the de facto standard for electronic documents. Individuals, governments, and corporations use PDF for the reliable exchange and storage of many types of documents and other content. PDF is increasingly used in an official capacity as a document of record. There are many methods of reliably authenticating and controlling PDF files in these situations. This paper gives an overview of some of the technologies that can be employed to enhance the reliability and authenticity of PDF as an electronic record.

whitepaper Digital Signatures in Acrobat2007-05-11 Adobe Systems
  Digital signatures in PDF and in Adobe Acrobat are described in two documents: Digital Signatures in the PDF Language and Digital Signatures in Acrobat. This paper also describes how certificates and signing procedures can be managed by IT administrators and how document content can interact with signatures. In addition, application differences, Reader enabling, and Adobe LiveCycle dynamic forms are discussed. Although this paper discusses validation in relation to its default signature handler, the Acrobat plug-in architecture enables third-party developers to create custom signature handlers to support functions not implemented in Acrobat.

whitepaper Adobe Solutions for the SAFE Standard2007-05-01 Adobe Systems
  SAFE has helped to significantly advance the legal, business, and technical outlook for electronic transactions worldwide. By standardizing on Adobe PDF, SAFE has also taken a significant step toward promoting the ubiquity of electronically signed documents. In turn, Adobe's built-in support for the SAFE standards demonstrates the flexibility and capability of Acrobat and Reader. Acrobat and Reader require minimal customization and interoperate directly with the standards-based PKI infrastructure of SAFE. Perhaps most important, this means that PDF signatures with Acrobat and Reader work more like traditional paper signatures than any other solution.   
whitepaper Extended Validation SSL Digital Certificate Research Study0000-00-00 Thawte
  Late in 2006, the industry standards body called the CA/Browser Forum released its specification for a new class of SSL Certificate called an Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificate. Because these certificates reliably demonstrate a site's ownership based on a specific, proven authentication methodology, the designers of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 7 have built in a series of interface conventions to indicate the presence of Extended Validation certificates, most notably by changing the background colour of the browser's address bar to green.

This paper looks a study conducted to understand user responses to the green address bar and how it influences online behaviour.

whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Securing Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007 Certificate Management (Level 100)2007-03-15 Microsoft
  This webcast details some of the critical steps and best practices for securing a Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007 certificate management deployment in an enterprise environment. Because business processes are not always secure, it is critical to take the necessary steps to secure the strong authentication deployment in the design phase of the certificate management implementation. The attendee of this webcast will learn how securing the strong authentication deployment in the design phase limits exposure to both security vulnerabilities and potential future liabilities associated with digital signatures and low assurance levels.

whitepaper CoSign for 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance2007-03-01 ARX
  Company XYZ operates in a regulated environment and is subject to compliance with numerous US government regulations governed by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and HIPAA. This paper is provided to explain the use of the digital signatures on various documents at Company XYZ business operations. For all digitally signed documents at Company XYZ, the electronic version stored on the network or in a database is considered the source document and all printed documents are for working use only.

whitepaper Programming With the Java XML Digital Signature API2007-03-01 Sun Microsystems
  One of the significant new features of the Java Platform, Standard Edition 6 (Java SE 6) is the Java XML Digital Signature API. This API allows the user to generate and validate XML signatures. XML signatures are a standard for digital signatures in the XML data format, and they allow the user to authenticate and protect the integrity of data in XML and web service transactions. This paper gives an overview of XML signatures and shows how to use the API in the applications.

whitepaper A New Paradigm in PKI Architecture: OTPK Technology for Online Digital Signature2007-02-26 Data Security Systems Solutions
  This paper presents a paradigm shift in PKI architectures. The OTPK concept is alarmingly simple to understand. Whenever a digital signature is required, the private key is generated, certified, used to compute the digital signature and immediately deleted. All that remains is the digital signature and the public key certificate from the Certification Authority (CA) that is used to verify the digital signature. There is no possible compromise on the private key, no need for user smart cards/USB tokens, no need for CRLs, no need for LDAP directories, no need for OCSP. It is compliant to international digital signature laws.
