Generation and verification method of trusted signature seal incorporating handwriting features by Li LI, Shang GAO, Peiliang ZUO, Jiazheng XUAN, Han SONG

“…With the rapid development of electronic communication and internet technology, the digitization of document circulation and processing has become increasingly prevalent.The trend towards greater convenience, flexibility, and diversity in electronic document signing is evident through practices such as online signature collection, remote signature confirmation, and electronic signature authentication.However, the signing and verification processes face challenges related to authenticity, integrity, and more.Instances of unlawful entities intercepting, copying, and forging signature images using low-cost methods to sign documents with false identities, as well as tampering with and forging signature files, are common.The application of electronic signature systems also encounters obstacles such as high costs, limited deployment, lack of universality, and complexities in real-time and consistent verification.To address these risks and challenges and ensure reliable verification in personal document signing processes, a credible method for generating and verifying signature seals that integrate handwriting features was proposed.This method primarily utilized the facial recognition and identity information matching functions of a trusted identity authentication platform.It integrated signature handwriting features and uniquely bound them to the signer's identity for reliable authentication.Accordingly, a signature seal with integrated handwriting features, a verification link for the signed document, and a digital signature QR code were generated.Analysis indicates that the signature seal produced by the proposed method not only serves the purpose of identity verification but also enables the discernment of the authenticity of the signed document.The verification link embedded in the QR code can directly validate the signer's identity, handwriting, and the authenticity and consistency of the signed document through online channels, providing a convenient means for the verification of both electronic and paper documents.The proposed method holds broad application prospects in the fields of electronic document circulation and the verification of the authenticity of electronic and paper documents.…”

Review of cryptographic application security evaluation techniques for new critical infrastructures by Gaolei LI, Jianhua LI, Zhihong ZHOU, Hao ZHANG

“…The construction of new critical infrastructure, represented by high-speed full-time signal coverage, intelligent and fine-grained urban management, and deep space and deep sea scientific innovation experimental fields, has entered a new stage with the deep integration and development of new technologies such as 5G/6G, artificial intelligence, and blockchain in various fields.The security evaluation of cryptography applications, as a key technological resource for ensuring the security of national information, integration, and innovation infrastructure, has risen to the level of international law and national development strategy.It is urgent to construct a comprehensive, fine-grained, and self-evolving cryptography security evaluation system throughout the data lifecycle.The typical APT attacks and ransomware attacks faced by new critical infrastructure in industries such as energy, medicine, and transportation in recent years were considered.And then the growing demand for security evaluation of cryptography applications was analyzed in the face of new business requirements such as preventing endogenous data security risks, achieving differentiated privacy protection, and supporting authenticated attack traceability.The new challenges were also examined, which were brought by new information infrastructure (including big data, 5G communication, fundamental software, etc.), integration infrastructure (including intelligent connected vehicles, intelligent connected industrial control systems, etc.), and innovation infrastructure (including big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain, etc.) to the security evaluation of cryptography applications.Furthermore, the new requirements were revealed about domestically produced cryptography algorithms and protocols deployed on high-performance computing chips, ultra-high-speed communication modules, and large-capacity storage media for cryptography application security evaluation technology.Finally, the development of automated and intelligent cryptography application security evaluation technology was explored.…”
