Abstract
"Digital signatures have become the most secure and widely accepted electronic authentication technology in paperless communication. To fulfill the needs of various applications, different digital signature methods are proposed and implemented.
This research presents hierarchical group digital signature methods for a dynamic organization. The hierarchy of the organization is scalable up to 10 levels with 10 entities at each level. There are two main methods proposed and implemented based on the verification scheme of the digital signatures. In one method, verification is performed at each level. In the other method, verification is done only by the top-level entity. Ordinary security and fail-stop security are applied separately to each method. To increase the security of each scheme, expiration dates for the digital signatures are implemented"-- Abstract, p. iii
