Abstract:
Systems, methods and computer program products are disclosed for providing long-term authenticity proof of an electronic document having a digital signature, wherein the electronic document is digitally signed with a digital signature and the electronic document and its digital signature are archived in a data archive. Such methods, systems and computer program products may store the electronic document in a first data archive and store a hash value of the electronic document in a second data archive different from the first data archive. Long-term authenticity and integrity may be achieved by periodically re-signing, particularly time stamping the hash value in the second data archive.
