Technological aspects of the trust in cross-border paperless exchange

Abstract

To operate high quality expert and decision support systems we need to use data that could be trusted. Given differences in technical, legal, and administrative environments, cross-border paperless exchange poses significant challenges to the data validation. These challenges could be overcome due to the provision of the trust to the technologies used to exchange data across borders. That is why this article discusses trust technologies that allow cross-border data exchange in electronic form. The article provides a brief description of advantages and disadvantages of the three main validation protocols: DVCS, XKMS, and OASIS DSS. As the main form to provide trust in cross-border documents exchange we propose trusted third party (TTP) technology. Hardware and software aspects of the TTP implementation in the form of hardware and software package are described in the article with the examples of successful implementation of cross–border electronic legally significant documents flow implementation.
