10. The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) Validity and legal effect of contracts entered into electronically legal status equivalent to a written signature may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form

11. Legal requirements of electronic signatures: must be unique to the person using it must be verifiable must be under the sole control of the person using it must guarantee that the document signed cannot be altered after it has been electronically signed must capture and preserve the signer's intent, consent, understanding, or responsibility related to a document that is being signed

12. History

13. History of electronic signatures Before 1861 – morse code used to send messages electronically by telegraphy 1869 - acceptance of the enforceability of telegraphic messages as electronic signatures in New Hampshire Supreme Court 1980s – use of fax 1990s - Acceptance of the enforceability of agreements made by e-mail, entering PIN into a bank ATM, signing a debit or credit slip with digital pen pad device, installing software with a clickwrap software licence on the package, signing electronic documents online

15. Construction How it works?

16. Cryptography The basis of electronic signatures is cryptography, mathematical discipline that not only handles the encryption of texts to ensure their confidentiality and provides mechanisms to ensure data integrity and identity of participants in a transaction.

17. Cryptography Encryption involves transforming a plain text (understood by all) by an algorithm in a cipher text, thanks to a secret or encryption key, which is unintelligible to all except the legitimate recipient. HASH function

18. Hash function To obtain a hash (also called a message digest) of a text fairly short series of characters representing the text to which you apply this hash function  the fingerprint of a document.

19. Hash function Must only associate a hash with a plain text  the slightest alteration of the document will cause a change in the hash. It must be a one-way function for the original message can not be retrieved from the hash. If there is a way of finding the plaintext from the hash, it seems that the hash function has a "trapdoor. "

20. Hash algorithms MD5 (Message Digest) - developed by Rivest in 1991 - creates (from a text whose size is chosen at random) a 128-bit fingerprint processing it into blocks of 512 bits. - it is common to see Internet downloads that are accompanied by MD5 files  to verify its integrity.

21. Hash algorithms SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) - creates a digital fingerprint that is 160 bits of length. - SHA-1 is an improved version from 1994 produces a fingerprint of 160 bits from a message that has a maximum length of 264 bits and processed in blocks of 512 bits.

22. Integrity verification when sending a message along with its hash  the recipient can be sure that the message has not been altered(intentionally or accidentally). when a recipient receives a message simply has to calculate the hash of the received message and comparing it with the hash that accompanies the document. if the message(or hash) is falsified during the communication, the two digital fingerprints will not coincide.

23. Sealing data to ensure that the message has been sent by the person claiming to be the sender. the sender simply encrypts (signs) the hash using its private key (seal) and send the seal to the recipient the recipient must decrypt the seal with the sender's public key then the recipient must compare the received hash with the hash function of the hash received as attachment.

25. Methods of encryption Asymmetric encryption or public key - when using a pair of separate keys for encryption and decryption processes. - one key, the private is kept secret, while the second key, the public, is known by everyone. -using RSA algorithms, Diffie-Hellman, etc.

26. Example 1. John produces a summary of the document. 2. John encrypts the abstract with his private key, thereby signing the document. This summary is your electronic signature. 3.John sends the document along with the summary signed (electronic signature) to Peter. 4. Peter produces a summary of the document received from John, using the same function summary way. 5. Peter then decrypted with the public key of John, which is known, the summary signed (electronic signature of John). 6. If the digest matches the digest signed Peter has generated the electronic signature is valid.

27. Methods of encryption Symmetric key encryption or secret - when using the same key in encryption and decryption operations. - these systems are much faster than public key, and appropriate for the encryption of large volumes of data. - this is done using algorithms such as IDEA, RC5, DES, Triple DES, etc..

28. Use of electronic signature

29. Use of electronic signatures e-government and on-line banking signing electronic contracts and other documents authorizing online forms and service orders provide advantage over non-user competition
