A Software Implementation of Multisignature Scheme for Electronic Document

Abstract

The implementation of the security environment for electronic document not only can improve the efficiency of document processing, but also can provide a secure and reliable environment. It is well known that the security environment for electronic document systems consists of many components, such as password authentication, multisignature, access control and key assignment, etc. And multisignature is the core of the security of such systems since it concerns the security of digital documents generation, signature authentication and safe storage of an electronic document. In this paper we implement a software multisignature system with C language for PCs which allows unpredetermined signing order for general electronic documents. We also provide test result for performance analysis.
