Digital Signature Modeling in E-Business

The aim of this paper is to solve the problems related to integrity, security, authenticity and non-repudiation of prevalent ERP based e-business application solution in Indian perspective. Traditional approaches and methodologies for implementing e-business solution have rarely achieved the requisite solution to the above problems even with the role based access control system. We have explored a methodology which emphasizes authentication in e-business with design of intelligent system. It ambitiously replaces the present day written signature authentication process with digital signatures having full compliance to integrity, security, authenticity and non-repudiation. The design also models in-depth functionalities, audit trail and keeps track of evidences of document tampering from any sources after the digital signature is placed in the system. The model is implemented successfully and is found to be at par with the prevalent written signature authentication system. We outline the plausible future work to model it for e-Governance system in Indian perspective.
