| Abstract: | Digital libraries provide mechanism for the distribution of
electronic documents. The tasks of a digital library are not
limited to establishing a secure communication channel, but
extended to the protection of electronic documents even after
the transfer. The solutions proposed in this area are based
on the use of cryptographically secured containers. Therefore,
the requirements are some mechanisms to ensure the security
of documents (classified as well as non-classified) which can
be distributed among end-users having varied requirements.
The scope of this paper is not only limited to a particular library,
but it will prove beneficial to all the libraries, because, unless
its usability can be realized everywhere, the very existence
of such a concept will be crippled. In this paper, document
protection is discussed, which is to be wrapped in a secure
cryptographic envelope with the help of MD5 and Hash
Functions as well as Digital Signature Techniques. |
