Abstract

In this work we will show how non-qualified electronic signatures and time stamps can be efficiently enhanced in order to equip them with similar features as qualified ones. In particular we will show how non-qualified electronic signatures can be used in business processes which require the written form. Furthermore we will show how to construct ”interval-qualified” (IQ) time stamps which may serve as cost efficient alternative to qualified time stamps issued by a trusted authority. An IQ time stamp issued at time t i is linked to two qualified time stamps issued at time T 1 and T 2, in a way that one is able to prove that T 1<t i <T 2.
