Speaker
Description
This lightning talk introduces RNP's innovative digital document signing service that addresses longstanding challenges in digital signature adoption. Traditional digital signature solutions often require complex key management, expensive hardware tokens, and complicated verification processes. Our approach generates unique signing certificates for each document, eliminating key storage concerns while ensuring 100-year validity. The service leverages blockchain technology to protect against quantum computing attacks while maintaining compatibility with legacy systems. Federation-based authentication through CAFe enables seamless access for the research and education community without requiring pre-issued certificates. This talk will demonstrate how this streamlined approach dramatically lowers barriers to secure digital signing while actually enhancing security, making it particularly valuable for NRENs seeking to provide trusted digital services to their communities.
