Abstract
Legal information certification and secured storage combined with documents electronic signature are of great interest when digital documents security and conservation are in concern. Therefore, these new and evolving technologies offer powerful abilities, such as identification, authentication and certification. The latter contribute to increase the global security of legal digital archives conservation and access. However, currently used cryptographic and hash coding concepts cannot intrinsically enclose cognitive information about both the signer and the signed content. Indeed, an evolution of these technologies may be necessary to achieve full text researches within hundreds or thousands of electronically signed documents. This article aims at describing a possible model along with associated processes to create and make use of these new electronic signatures called "meaningful electronic signatures" as opposed to traditional electronic signatures based on bit per bit computation.

Convertible ring signatures with gradual revelation of non-signers
A ring signature enables a member of a group to sign any message on behalf of the group while hiding the identity of the real signer. On the other hand, a convertible ring signature is a kind of ring signature in which the real signer can convert it ...
Provably-secure electronic cash based on certificateless partially-blind signatures
We extend the partially-blind signature approach into certificateless public key cryptography to eliminate the key escrow problem that occurs with identities in public key cryptography. We also formalize conditions for security for certificateless ...
A Secure and Robust Password-Based Remote User Authentication Scheme Using Smart Cards for the Integrated EPR Information System
An integrated EPR (Electronic Patient Record) information system of all the patients provides the medical institutions and the academia with most of the patients' information in details for them to make corrective decisions and clinical decisions in ...
