A digital signature is an electronic token that creates a binding between an entity (e.g., a person or a company) and a data record. Typically, the signing process is implemented with the help of public key cryptography; the signatory uses her private key to create a digital signature for a document. In the last few years, there has been a rapidly growing demand for a working digital signature framework, both from the public and private sector. The goal is to facilitate both e-government and e-commerce applications over the Internet. In many countries, legislative considers digital signatures equivalent to handwritten signatures. However, international regulations such as EU Directive 1999/93/EC and national signature laws provide only rough guidelines that define necessary properties of secure signature-generation systems.
