Abstract

See full text

A method for digitally signing of electronic documents which are to be kept secure for a very long time, thereby taking into account future cryptographic developments which could render currently cryptographic key-lengths insufficient. A double signature is issued for each document. A first digital signature ensures the long term security, while a second digital signature ensures the involvement of an individual user. Thereby, the second digital signature is less computationally intensive in its generation than the first digital signature.
