Title
How to Qualify Electronic Signatures and Time Stamps
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.
