Abstract :
This paper proposes a technique to allow a user to create authentic digital signatures from any of multiple platforms. The private signing key need not be stored on any platform or any server, allowing true mobility of the user. A single user verification certificate may be used by anyone to determine the validity of the created signatures (that is, the user can have one signature key pair, rather than a different pair for each device).
