    The document discusses digital signatures and how they provide authentication of electronic records. It explains that digital signatures use asymmetric cryptosystems and hash functions to encrypt electronic records and verify that the message has not been altered. The objectives are to identify the sender and verify no changes were made. It also outlines the process of obtaining a digital certificate from a certifying authority, how public and private keys work, and how digital signatures can be used to facilitate electronic governance and online services.

    DIGITAL

    SIGNATURE

    10/3/2012 Monal Deshmukh 1


    Digital Signature
     Any subscriber can authentication an
    electronic record by affixing digital
    signature.
     The authentication of electronic record
    shall be effected by use of asymmetric
    crypto system and hash function which
    envelop and transform the initial electronic
    record into another electronic record.

     Objectives:
    • To identify the sender
    • To verify the message has not been
    altered in transit.
    "hash function" means an algorithm mapping or
    translation of one sequence of bits into another
    Contd.
     Hash function means an algorithm
    mapping or translation of one sequence
    of bits into another, generally smaller set
    is known as Hash Result.
    A. It reconstruct the original electronic
    record from the hash result produced
    by the algorithm.
    B. Two electronic records can produce the
    same hash result using the algorithm.
    Verification
     Any person by use of public key of subscriber can verify the
    electronic record. The private key and public key are unique
    to the subscriber and continues a functioning key pair.
     In case Electronic transmission of data it is needed to
    ensure authenticity ad that the data is not tampered.
     Thus sec 3 provides authentication of electronic records
    by use of “asymmetric crypto system” by using encryption
    and decryption methodologies and software tools.
     Encryption software program plaintext to cipher text
     Decryption software program
    Contd.
     In asymmetric crypto system each person
    has two corresponding and matched
    keys-private key (possessor do not share) and public
    key.
    Procedure of working
     To obtain it, one has to apply in the prescribed form to the
    certifying authority (CA) together with the necessary
    documents such as proof of identity, proof of residence, fees
    etc.
     CA verifies and approves document.
     On approval issues a digital certificate to the applicant. It also
    provides public key and private key. The certificate which is
    digitally signed guarantees that the holder of the public key is
    the same person who holds the private key.
     The sender prepares the message to be sent including his
    name on a computer.
     Sender applies hash function i.e. a mathematical formula or
    algorithm, in the form of computer software on the message
    to encrypt it
    Digital signature certificates
     Application
     Grant of certificate
     Representations upon issue
     Suspension of digital signature certificate
     Revocation of Digital signature certificate
    (death, dissolution, request of authorised person)
     Notice of suspension o revocation
    ELETRONIC

    GOVERNANCE
    ELECTRONIC GOVERNANCE

     It refers to the application of IT to the processes of the Govt


    functioning in order to bring out SIMPLE, MORAL, ACCOUNTABLE,
    RESPONSIVE AND TRANSPARENT (SMART)
     It involves electronic filing of document with government agencies
    and creating a network of e-services and e-administration.
     Inorder to facilitate electronic governance, IT ACT 2000 accords legal
    recognition of digital records, digital signatures.
     From 16th Sept 2006 electronic filing and using digital signatures has
    been made mandatory for the companies
    PROVISIONS TO FACILITATE ELECTRONIC
    GOVERNANCE

    1. Legal recognition of electronic records


    2. Legal recognition of digital signature
    3. Use of electronic record and signatures in govt and its Agencies
    4. Delivery of services by service provider
    5. Retention of electronic record
    6. Publication of rules, regulations in electronic gazette
    7. No rights to insist that the document should be accepted in
    electronic form
    8. Central Govt empowered to make rules in respect of electronic
    signature
    Section 11: Attribution of electronic
    records.
    An electronic record shall be attributed to the
    originator—
    (a) if it was sent by the originator himself;
    (b) by a person who had the authority to act
    on behalf of the originator in respect of
    that electronic record; or
    (c) by an information system programmed by
    or on behalf of the originator to operate
    automatically
    Sec 12 : Acknowledgment of receipt.
    (1) (a) any communication by the addressee, automated or otherwise;
    (b) any conduct of the addressee, sufficient to indicate to the
    originator that the electronic record has been received.
    (2) Where the originator has stipulated that the electronic record
    shall be binding only on receipt of an acknowledgment of such
    electronic record by him, then unless acknowledgment has been so
    received, the electronic record shall be deemed to have been
    never sent by the originator.
    (3) Where the originator has not stipulated that the electronic
    record shall be binding only on receipt of such acknowledgment,
    and the acknowledgment has not been received by the originator,
    then the originator may give notice that no acknowledgment has
    been received by him and specifying a reasonable time by which
    the acknowledgment must be received by him and if no
    acknowledgment is received within the aforesaid time limit he may
    after giving notice to the addressee, treat the electronic record as
    though it has never been sent.
