Recommendation for Digital Signature Timeliness

September 23, 2009

Author(s)

Elaine B. Barker

Establishing the time when a digital signature was generated is often a critical consideration. A signed message that includes the (purported) signing time provides no assurance that the private key was used to sign the message at that time unless the
