Abstract / Excerpt:

The birth of the Internet opened a lot of doors in how people communicate. It gave birth to e-commerce and online-transactions. With the advent of this new technology also come new threats that endanger the integrity of the information being passed around. One concern is determining whether a certain document has been tampered . To address this problem digital signatures, containing a hash value of the document and the time, are being embedded into digital documents. The hash value will be calculated using collision-free hash functions and one-way hash function. This research will study the different document authentication techniques that are being used today and evaluate each of them. It will also took into some of the implementations of document authentication protocol that are now in use.
