Timeless digital signature for self-organising groups

在互联网上工作、社交、建立商业和政府机构，正迅速成为一种普遍的生活方式。数码签署是为电子交易提供认证和问责的主要机制，在确保电子交换和协作方面是不可或缺的。现有的数字签名只能提供有限时间内的安全性，不能用于需要长期安全性的情况。该项目将为建立一个永恒的“可信赖的网络空间”提供所需的基础和建设，并将使部署更广泛的先进信息技术和电信服务成为可能。

Working, socialising, establishing commercial and government institutions on the Internet, is rapidly becoming a common way of life. Digital signatures are the main mechanism for providing authentication and accountability for electronic transactions, and are indispensable in securing electronic exchange and collaboration. Existing digital signatures only provide security for a limited time period and cannot be used when long term security is required. This project will provide the required foundations and construction for building a timeless `trustworthy cyberspace' and will enable deployment of a wider range of advanced information technology and telecommunication services.
