الملخص العربي
With the development of computer architecture
and its technologies in recent years, applications like e-
commerce, e-government, e-
governance and e-finance
are
widely used
,
and
they act as active research areas. In addition, in order to increase the quality and quantity of the
ordinary everyday transac
tions, it is desired to migrate from the paper
-
based environment to a
digital
-
based computerized environment. Such migration increases efficiency, saves time,
eliminates paperwork, increases safety and reduces
the
cost in an organization. Digital
signature
s are playing an essential role in many electronic and automatic based systems and
facilitate this migration. The digital signatures are used to provide many services and solutions
that would not have been possible by the conventional hand
-
written signatur
e.
In the educational environment, the process of issuing the graduation certificates can no longer
be restricted to the traditional methods. Hence, a computerized system for issuing certificates of
graduation in an electronic form is needed and desired.
T
his
paper proposes a
Graduation
Certificates Issuing System (GCIS) based on digital signature technology. In doing so, this
research
highlights the state
-
of
-
the
-
art and the art
-
of
-
the
-
practice for some existing digital
signature
-
based systems in the liter
atures. In addition, eight intertwined elected services
are
identified, namely: message authentication, entity authentication, integrity, non
-
repudiation,
time stamping, distinguished signing authorities, delegating signing capability and supporting
workfl
ow systems. Moreover, this
research
examines nine existing systems, showing their
merits and demerits in terms of these elected services. Furthermore, the
research
describes the
architectural design using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and provides th
e concrete
implementation of the proposed GCIS. The GCIS is implemented using Visual Basic.Net
programming language and SQL Server database management system. .
