Electronic signature enabled by smartcards for security purposes
Abstract
In this work, a way to implement a digital signature using an encryption system is described. Specifically, the digital signature process using smart cards and a public key cryptographic system, which for our purposes is RSA, will be shown. This has the purpose that the information is transmitted in a secure way when the authentication and digital signature operations are carried out. Another element that is addressed in this work is the definition and use of the Application Protocol for Data Unit (APDU) that is used when communicating directly between a card reader and a smart card.
