Security Extentions for digital signatures for Tamino XML Server 4.1. (Security).Tamino XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. Security Extensions, component for digital signatures for Tamino XML Server 4.1 is designed to make electronic communication in e-commerce, e-government and e-contracting secure and user-friendly. Users confirm the content of documents, such as electronic orders, by appending their digital signature--essential for transactions conducted over the Internet to be considered legally binding. Tamino XML Security Extensions automatically checks whether an electronic document has been given a digital signature. Comment: Electronic documents--unlike printed ones--are relatively easy to manipulate manipulate To cause a security to sell at an artificial price. Although investment bankers are permitted to manipulate temporarily the stock they underwrite, most other forms of manipulation are illegal. . Although there is as yet no definitive solution to this problem, the technology to discover whether, and if so, when, an electronic document has been modified without permission now exists. This is `digital signature' technology, and it allows authors to sign their documents and check them later for changes. Tamino XML Server stores XML documents natively in XML and verifies signatures during the database storage transaction for the signed document. By checking the validity of XML signatures XML Signature (also called XMLDsig, XML-DSig, XML-Sig) is a W3C recommendation that defines an XML syntax for digital signatures. Functionally, it has much in common with PKCS#7 but is more extensible and geared towards signing XML documents. , it allows users to verify (1) To prove the correctness of data. (2) In data entry operations, to compare the keystrokes of a second operator with the data entered by the first operator to ensure that the data were typed in accurately. See validate. a document's authenticity The correct attribution of origin such as the authorship of an e-mail message or the correct description of information such as a data field that is properly named. Authenticity is one of the six fundamental components of information security (see Parkerian Hexad). . www.softwareag.com |
