Digital Signature Requirements and DB Sign Data Security Suite

Overview This white paper outlines the requirements for the use of public key digital signatures in database-centric systems and focuses on the special requirements of public key digital signature technologies and the associated Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). These requirements involve the following:

• The relationship of the digital signature system to the PKI

• Cryptographic modules, security and cost optimization

• The signing and verifying process

• Storage of required digital signature data

• Performance

These requirements are given in bulleted form first. Each requirement is explained in the second section of the document.
