- A New Paradigm in PKI Architecture: OTPK Technology for Online Digital Signature
- This paper presents a paradigm shift in PKI architectures. The OTPK concept is alarmingly simple to understand. Whenever a digital signature is required, the private key is generated, certified, used to compute the digital signature and immediately deleted. All that remains is the digital signature and the public key certificate...
