Abstract: The prevalence of digital information management in an open network has
driven the need to maintain balance between digital records management,
authenticity, and policy. Authenticity of digital records is required as every phases of
life cycle so it is important to understand this issue. In order to do this, the needs of
authenticity in life cycle are being discussed and this discussion is followed by short
descriptions of the standard and policies involve with authenticity of digital records.
Moreover, the preservation method in ensuring authenticity of digital records was
highlighted. And as a step forward in ensuring the authenticity of digital records, it
can be achieved by better management and better technology.

Introduction


    The prevalence of digital information management in an open network has driven
a new level of expectation on security and privacy protection. One of the key issues is
to maintain the fragile balance between the reliability, accountability, and
authenticity. And in a hostile environment, where the growing number of digital
records and the implementation brought by the technology, has transformed the
working environment moving to the less paper transaction in running daily business.
Therefore new issue rise, which is the preservation of digital records to ensure the
authenticity and make it reliable as evidence. Where in the midst of this change and
uncertainty, organizations must determine what records management model they
should implement, taking into account the present law, the authenticity, and the
potential direction it might head.


    Records means materials in written or other form setting out facts or events or
otherwise recording information and includes papers, documents, registers, printed
materials, books, maps, plans, drawings, photographs, microfilms, cinematograph
films, sounds recordings, electronically produced records regardless of physical form
or characteristics and any copy1. In archives and records management, authentic
records are understood as being what they purport to be reliable records that over time
have not been altered, changed or otherwise corrupted.2. Authenticity warrants that

AMACOM, 1995) : 18.
the record is not changed or manipulated after it has been received or sent since it was
created and transmitted to many parties over time.


     And electronic public records are those records that fulfill these criteria and
which are created and maintained in electronic format. Authentic records can be
defined as one that can be proven; to be what it purports to be, to have been created or
sent by the person purported to have created and sent it and to have been created or
sent at the time purported3.


Records as evidence and as source of information


If a record is to function effectively as evidence of an activity, it must first be
compliant with any external requirements in the environment where the organization
operates. Requirements for records may derive from legislation, regulation,
mandatory standards, code of best ethics, or community expectations4.



                                                 Records as

                                    Figure 1: Criteria of records as evidence


As the figure 1 shown in order record can use as evidence, it must posses’ three
criteria which are:
     Content: A record must reflect the facts about the activity. For a reliable record
     these should be accurate mean that the facts that the record carry should be
     correct and complete which everything of significant should be recorded.


     Context: A record must be supported by information about the circumstances in
     which it was created and used. Records cannot be fully understood without
     adequate knowledge of the activity that gave rise to them, the wider function of
     the activity forms part, and the administrative context, including the identities and

roles of the various participants in the activity. Contextual information must
           therefore be captured in the records themselves or in the systems that are used to
           maintain them.


           Structure: Records and records systems must reflect the relationship between
           their constituent parts.


Records should have qualities of authenticity, integrity, usability and reliability 5.
Fundamentally, the characteristic of authentication comprises three things:
      i.       Reliability: Records created within an organization should be reliable and
               accurate in their content. It is show that the records are created and captured
               as part of the legitimate business process, and they are subject to a corporate
               management process.

     ii.       Integrity: The document is protected from unauthorized alteration. The
               authenticity and integrity of records need to be guaranteed over time, so that
               users can be confident that records are genuine and trustworthy and that no
               illicit alterations have been made to them.

    iii.       Usability: The document is capable of being retrieved, presented, and
               interpreted correctly. They must be accessible to authorized users’
               understanding of their significant.

These characteristics, taken together, lay the foundations for the authenticity of a
document in digital format. However, it must be emphasized that the rigor of the
process will depend on the nature of the document. For this to be achieved, digital
records must be created and maintained systematically through good records keeping
system. Where the integrity and usability of digital records will be ensured overtime
which mean through out the lifecycle of the records.




The needs of authenticity in records life cycle

                                                                                                 32
The records lifecycle is a concept in common use. It indicates that records are
not static, but have a life similar to those biological organisms: they are born, live
through youth and old age and then die6. This idea was developed in North America
by Schellenberg (1956), who wrote about the ‘life span’ of records, which included
their current use and final destiny. As paper records, digital records also need to be
maintenance from the first creation until the disposition of the records. It consists of
five stages as illustrated in figure 2.

      Digital Information. Baca, Murtha, ed. (Los Angeles, CA: Getty Research Institute, 1998): 8.


As send in Figure. Records life cycle indicates the life span of a record as expressed
in the five phases of creation, organization, searching/retrieval, utilization,
maintenance, and final preservation/disposition. First, at the creation stage, records
are produced in a wide variety of forms and formats using technologies and
equipment. At the organization stage, records are organized in a meaningful and
systematic ways by adding cataloging/classifying or descriptive information to
records and creating as secondary information. These records are searched or
retrieved by users or librarians.


     At the utilization and distribution phase, records are distributed and transmitted to
the person needs for its use. Records are commonly used in decision making, for
documentation or reference, in answering inquiries or in satisfying legal requirements.
As time passes, the use of records declines like most organizational asset and their

practice. (London: Facet Publishing, 2003): 34.

                                                                                                      32
value also tends to be declined and become useless. At the storage and maintenance
phase, when a decision is made to keep the record for use at a later date, it must be
housed in some type of storage device, and protected in the maintenance of records.


    After records are stored, a request is made to retrieve it from storage for use.
During this phase, records are frequently referred to and remain active. At the
disposition and retention phase, when records decline in value and retrieved records
are no longer needed for use, records become inactive, and are then removed from
active storage in office space, are destroyed, or transferred to an inactive storage
facility for the duration of their retention life.


    The last phase in the record life cycle is disposition by destruction. When records
contain permanent value, the records are preserved at a permanent storage place for a
long-term period of time. The record life cycle is important in knowing the meaning
and importance of each phase of the entire record life cycle. Records managers should
be able to understand what is needed to mange all records.


    At the five stages of records’ acquisition, collection, indexing, access and
utilization, and preservation, when is records needed to ensure they are authentic. As
digital records and data become accessible and available at any time and in any place,
regardless of their stage of records’ life cycle, it is getting difficult and meaningless to
differentiate one stage from another stage. Guaranteeing the authenticity of records is
required at every stage.


    That is, since the authenticity of a document verifies that the document is the
same as that which a user expected based on a prior reference and ensures that they
are unaltered from the time of creation, access, maintenance, and preservation is
required over many stages of records life cycles. Authenticity is to demonstrate the
integrity of documents and retaining authenticity is used to verifying authorship of
records and for preservation strategies.


Preservation of authenticity of digital records




                                                                                               32

     As digital objects are more easily altered and corrupted than, say, paper
documents and records, creators and preservers often find it challenging to
demonstrate their authenticity. That is why ensuring why ensuring authenticity of
records in digital environments needs an integrated approach to identifying
requirements of authentic records and managing electronic records from appraisal to
preservation. As digital objects that lack authenticity and integrity have limited value
as evidence or usefulness as an information resource, the ability to establish
authenticity of and trust in a digital object is crucial.


     Three quite distinct technical and social strategies for asserting authenticity can
be identified in proposed solutions: public, secret, and functionally dependent.7 Public
methods for asserting the authenticity of sources include: the creation of copyright
deposit "collections of record", practiced deposits of original sources combined with
record certification services, registration of unique document identifiers, publishing
"key" data about documents which, when hashed, or otherwise calculated in a
publicly available way, should match that of the document in hand, and defining
metadata structures to carry document authentication declarations or proofs. Secret
methods involve hiding data in the object to reveal its source. Techniques include:
digital watermarking, stegonography and digital signatures. Functionally dependent

Records Systems Approach. (Cincinnati: South-Western Publishing Co, 1992): 173.

                                                                                                    32
methods employ specific technologies that are bound together with the information
source. Methods employing technical dependencies include: object encapsulation
whether physical or logical, cryptography, encryption and embedded active agents.


    Besides that a simple approach used by many systems is to have software
controls that allow end-users to access records but not edit or delete them, while
records management staff may destroy records but not edit or delete them. This
approach may be combined with the use of an audit trail. Audit trails automatically
log the date and the identity of the operators when the record is captured or metadata
assigned, and may log similar information whenever records are assessed. Therefore
records system should contain complete and accurate representations of all
transactions that occur in relation to particular records. These include the processes
associated with individual records. And it is must be kept at least as long as the
document to which they relate is retained.

Standard and policies involve with authenticity of digital records

          There are numerous published standards for developing and operating records
management programmes and systems. In particular, the international standard ISO
15489-1: 2001 Information and documentation – records management, published by
the International Standards Organization, and Australian national standards AS
4390-1996 Records management provide benchmarks against which records
management programmes and systems can be measured.


          Two standards that concern of authenticity of digital records most are ISO
15489-1: 2001 Information and document – records management – part 1: general,
International Standards Organization and PD 5000: 2002 Legal admissibility: an
international code of practice for electronic documents and e-business transactions
for evidence, audit, long term duty of care, British Standards Institution. In the world
of electronic and hybrid systems it is particularly important for records managers to
be aware of technical standards that can be used to manage the dependency of records
on computer hardware and software in order to maintain digital records for long-terms
access.



                                                                                           32
Besides standards published by national and international standards
organizations, there are others promoted by commercial or professional bodies. For an
example, the UK Public Record Office has published Standards for the management
of government records, which offers guidance on many aspects of records
management, with special emphasis on the needs of public sector organizations.


        All this standards is the result of ongoing efforts, by responsible agencies who
seen that a proper standard and guidelines should be in place to ensure that successful
electronic records management system. As a results of the development of national
and international standards provided information professional a framework for best
practices.


Conclusion


   Many efforts are going on to understand better the authenticity of records. It is
because assurance of the authenticity of digital records is never ending process which
start on creation and must be maintained through the entire life cycle. As the
responsibility for records care ultimately lies with each nation and its governments
and citizens. International agencies should play a particular role in raising the
awareness of governments around the world of the critical importance to society of
accountable, transparent record keeping.


   Further, the problem is not that record keepers do not know what to do. The
problem is how to get it done: how to receive the political, governmental, financial,
and other support required to undertake the tasks all record keepers know they must
tackle. It is that hopes in recent years we can take a step forward to finding a way to
ensuring the authenticity of digital records by better management and better
technology.

Cunningham, Adrian. Digital Curation/ Digital Archiving: A view from the National
   Archives of Australia. The American Archivists. March 2008.

This issue provides timely and informed perspectives on the archival enterprise in the
twenty-first century. One of the articles in this issue explore the archival role in the
digital universe where technology makes all document look like buckets of bits. In
“Digital Curation/ Digital Archiving: A view from the National Archives of
Australia”, Adrian Cunningham decries the blurring of important professional
distinction among digital curators, digital librarians, and digital archivist. He
delineates the distinctly Australian strategy of beginning digital preservation with the
records creators to ensure that good records are created and kept, rather than
waiting at the door of the archives to see what comes in. The National Archives of
Australia leverages the role of archivist and records managers in setting standards
for digital record keeping within the parent organization.

Bikson, Tora. “Carrying authentic, understandable and usable digital records through
  time.” 3 Sept 2009 <http://www.digitaleduurzaamheid.nl/bibliotheek/docs/final-
  report_4.pdf>.

In 1999, the research report 'Digital Preservation: Carrying Authentic,
Understandable and Usable Digital Records Through Time' was drawn up. In this
report the possibilities of a few technologies and approaches were explored for the
long term preservation of digital records. The report shows that it is not yet possible
to make a responsible choice from these technologies and approaches. According to
the recommendations of the researchers, the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom
Relations and the Ministry of Eductation, Culture and Sciences (the National
Archives) decided to establish a 'Testbed' to gain the essential knowledge and
experience. The Digital Preservation Testbed is carrying out experiments according
to pre-defined research questions to establish the best preservation approach or
combination of approaches. The Testbed will be focusing its attention on three
different digital preservation approaches - Migration; Emulation; and XML -
evaluating the effectiveness of these approaches, their limitations, costs, risks, uses,
and resource requirements.

<http://www.expertisecentrumdavid.be/docs/digitalsignatures.pdf>.

Electronic records have the advantage that they are reusable. One can very quickly
adapt a record or compile a new record on the basis of an existing one. This digital
advantage is at the same time a vulnerability because adaptations or changes are not
always observable. Because of this, the reliability of electronic records might be
questioned. Finding methods for guaranteeing the reliability of digital documents in
general, or electronic records in particular, is the subject of research in various
professional fields. At present, one of the most widely suggested solutions is digital
signing electronic records. More specifically, the use of asymmetric cryptography
and the digital signature is advanced as a proof of authenticity and integrity for
electronic records. This technique might also be usable to ensure the reliability of
electronic records.

This article based on the author’s opinion and experiences in digital library research,
as a citizen of an information society and as a worker in the knowledge economy.
This article is important for an information literacy skill set for citizens of the modern
information society, and that the role of library and information professionals may
have to evolve, from intermediaries to facilitators and trainers. Librarians and
information professionals face less demand for their traditional role as
intermediaries. Information literacy is defined and described as a vital skill set for
citizens of information societies. It is suggested that librarians and information
professionals are needed to pass on these skills to citizens at all levels of society for
economic, social and personal empowerment.

This paper written by David V.Loertscher, Professor of the School of Library and
Information Science. This people outlines the development of a digital school library
intranet as an information-rich environment designed to provide a nurturing and safe
environment for both students and teachers throughout the school and extending into
the home. Emphasis is given to the certain creation of individualized views of the
intranet by both students and teachers complete with academic, career/professional
and personal information spaces. Built upon this environment, the author proposes
strategies designed to stimulate the rise of a knowledge-rich environment or learning
community using concepts of collaboration, information literacy, user control, and
the phenomenon of small work networks.

authenticity digital records term essay

  • 1. Abstract: The prevalence of digital information management in an open network has driven the need to maintain balance between digital records management, authenticity, and policy. Authenticity of digital records is required as every phases of life cycle so it is important to understand this issue. In order to do this, the needs of authenticity in life cycle are being discussed and this discussion is followed by short descriptions of the standard and policies involve with authenticity of digital records. Moreover, the preservation method in ensuring authenticity of digital records was highlighted. And as a step forward in ensuring the authenticity of digital records, it can be achieved by better management and better technology. Keywords: Authenticity, digital records, electronic records, electronic records management Introduction The prevalence of digital information management in an open network has driven a new level of expectation on security and privacy protection. One of the key issues is to maintain the fragile balance between the reliability, accountability, and authenticity. And in a hostile environment, where the growing number of digital records and the implementation brought by the technology, has transformed the working environment moving to the less paper transaction in running daily business. Therefore new issue rise, which is the preservation of digital records to ensure the authenticity and make it reliable as evidence. Where in the midst of this change and uncertainty, organizations must determine what records management model they should implement, taking into account the present law, the authenticity, and the potential direction it might head. Records means materials in written or other form setting out facts or events or otherwise recording information and includes papers, documents, registers, printed materials, books, maps, plans, drawings, photographs, microfilms, cinematograph films, sounds recordings, electronically produced records regardless of physical form or characteristics and any copy1. In archives and records management, authentic records are understood as being what they purport to be reliable records that over time have not been altered, changed or otherwise corrupted.2. Authenticity warrants that 1 National Archives Act 2003(Act 629), Part 1 Section 2. 2 Diamond, Susan Z. Records Management: A Practical Approach. 3rd ed. (Washington: AMACOM, 1995) : 18.
  • 2. the record is not changed or manipulated after it has been received or sent since it was created and transmitted to many parties over time. And electronic public records are those records that fulfill these criteria and which are created and maintained in electronic format. Authentic records can be defined as one that can be proven; to be what it purports to be, to have been created or sent by the person purported to have created and sent it and to have been created or sent at the time purported3. Records as evidence and as source of information If a record is to function effectively as evidence of an activity, it must first be compliant with any external requirements in the environment where the organization operates. Requirements for records may derive from legislation, regulation, mandatory standards, code of best ethics, or community expectations4. Records as evidence Content Context Structure Figure 1: Criteria of records as evidence As the figure 1 shown in order record can use as evidence, it must posses’ three criteria which are: Content: A record must reflect the facts about the activity. For a reliable record these should be accurate mean that the facts that the record carry should be correct and complete which everything of significant should be recorded. Context: A record must be supported by information about the circumstances in which it was created and used. Records cannot be fully understood without adequate knowledge of the activity that gave rise to them, the wider function of the activity forms part, and the administrative context, including the identities and 3 International Council on Archives (ICA), Committee on Archival Legal Matters, Authenticity of Electronic Records: A Report Prepared for UNESCO (November 2003): 2. 4 32
  • 3. roles of the various participants in the activity. Contextual information must therefore be captured in the records themselves or in the systems that are used to maintain them. Structure: Records and records systems must reflect the relationship between their constituent parts. Records should have qualities of authenticity, integrity, usability and reliability 5. Fundamentally, the characteristic of authentication comprises three things: i. Reliability: Records created within an organization should be reliable and accurate in their content. It is show that the records are created and captured as part of the legitimate business process, and they are subject to a corporate management process. ii. Integrity: The document is protected from unauthorized alteration. The authenticity and integrity of records need to be guaranteed over time, so that users can be confident that records are genuine and trustworthy and that no illicit alterations have been made to them. iii. Usability: The document is capable of being retrieved, presented, and interpreted correctly. They must be accessible to authorized users’ understanding of their significant. These characteristics, taken together, lay the foundations for the authenticity of a document in digital format. However, it must be emphasized that the rigor of the process will depend on the nature of the document. For this to be achieved, digital records must be created and maintained systematically through good records keeping system. Where the integrity and usability of digital records will be ensured overtime which mean through out the lifecycle of the records. The needs of authenticity in records life cycle 5 Millar, Laura. Authenticity of electronic records: a report prepared for UNESCO and the International Council on Archives. 3 September 2009 www.ica.org/en/node/30209. 32
  • 4. The records lifecycle is a concept in common use. It indicates that records are not static, but have a life similar to those biological organisms: they are born, live through youth and old age and then die6. This idea was developed in North America by Schellenberg (1956), who wrote about the ‘life span’ of records, which included their current use and final destiny. As paper records, digital records also need to be maintenance from the first creation until the disposition of the records. It consists of five stages as illustrated in figure 2. Figure 2: The Life Cycle of Objects in a Digital Information System Source: Gilliland-Swetland, Anne. J. “Setting the Stage.” Introduction to Metadata: Pathways to Digital Information. Baca, Murtha, ed. (Los Angeles, CA: Getty Research Institute, 1998): 8. As send in Figure. Records life cycle indicates the life span of a record as expressed in the five phases of creation, organization, searching/retrieval, utilization, maintenance, and final preservation/disposition. First, at the creation stage, records are produced in a wide variety of forms and formats using technologies and equipment. At the organization stage, records are organized in a meaningful and systematic ways by adding cataloging/classifying or descriptive information to records and creating as secondary information. These records are searched or retrieved by users or librarians. At the utilization and distribution phase, records are distributed and transmitted to the person needs for its use. Records are commonly used in decision making, for documentation or reference, in answering inquiries or in satisfying legal requirements. As time passes, the use of records declines like most organizational asset and their 6 Shepherd, Elizabeth. and Geoffrey Yeo, Managing records: a handbook of principles and practice. (London: Facet Publishing, 2003): 34. 32
  • 5. value also tends to be declined and become useless. At the storage and maintenance phase, when a decision is made to keep the record for use at a later date, it must be housed in some type of storage device, and protected in the maintenance of records. After records are stored, a request is made to retrieve it from storage for use. During this phase, records are frequently referred to and remain active. At the disposition and retention phase, when records decline in value and retrieved records are no longer needed for use, records become inactive, and are then removed from active storage in office space, are destroyed, or transferred to an inactive storage facility for the duration of their retention life. The last phase in the record life cycle is disposition by destruction. When records contain permanent value, the records are preserved at a permanent storage place for a long-term period of time. The record life cycle is important in knowing the meaning and importance of each phase of the entire record life cycle. Records managers should be able to understand what is needed to mange all records. At the five stages of records’ acquisition, collection, indexing, access and utilization, and preservation, when is records needed to ensure they are authentic. As digital records and data become accessible and available at any time and in any place, regardless of their stage of records’ life cycle, it is getting difficult and meaningless to differentiate one stage from another stage. Guaranteeing the authenticity of records is required at every stage. That is, since the authenticity of a document verifies that the document is the same as that which a user expected based on a prior reference and ensures that they are unaltered from the time of creation, access, maintenance, and preservation is required over many stages of records life cycles. Authenticity is to demonstrate the integrity of documents and retaining authenticity is used to verifying authorship of records and for preservation strategies. Preservation of authenticity of digital records 32
  • 6. Figure 3: Preserve usable authentic records through time Source: Bikson, Tora. Carrying authentic, understanble and usable digital records through time. 3 Sept 2009 <http://www.digitaleduurzaamheid.nl/bibliotheek/docs/final-report_4.pdf>. As digital objects are more easily altered and corrupted than, say, paper documents and records, creators and preservers often find it challenging to demonstrate their authenticity. That is why ensuring why ensuring authenticity of records in digital environments needs an integrated approach to identifying requirements of authentic records and managing electronic records from appraisal to preservation. As digital objects that lack authenticity and integrity have limited value as evidence or usefulness as an information resource, the ability to establish authenticity of and trust in a digital object is crucial. Three quite distinct technical and social strategies for asserting authenticity can be identified in proposed solutions: public, secret, and functionally dependent.7 Public methods for asserting the authenticity of sources include: the creation of copyright deposit "collections of record", practiced deposits of original sources combined with record certification services, registration of unique document identifiers, publishing "key" data about documents which, when hashed, or otherwise calculated in a publicly available way, should match that of the document in hand, and defining metadata structures to carry document authentication declarations or proofs. Secret methods involve hiding data in the object to reveal its source. Techniques include: digital watermarking, stegonography and digital signatures. Functionally dependent 7 Ricks, Betty Roper, Ann J. Swafford and Kay F. Gow. Information and Image Management: A Records Systems Approach. (Cincinnati: South-Western Publishing Co, 1992): 173. 32
  • 7. methods employ specific technologies that are bound together with the information source. Methods employing technical dependencies include: object encapsulation whether physical or logical, cryptography, encryption and embedded active agents. Besides that a simple approach used by many systems is to have software controls that allow end-users to access records but not edit or delete them, while records management staff may destroy records but not edit or delete them. This approach may be combined with the use of an audit trail. Audit trails automatically log the date and the identity of the operators when the record is captured or metadata assigned, and may log similar information whenever records are assessed. Therefore records system should contain complete and accurate representations of all transactions that occur in relation to particular records. These include the processes associated with individual records. And it is must be kept at least as long as the document to which they relate is retained. Standard and policies involve with authenticity of digital records There are numerous published standards for developing and operating records management programmes and systems. In particular, the international standard ISO 15489-1: 2001 Information and documentation – records management, published by the International Standards Organization, and Australian national standards AS 4390-1996 Records management provide benchmarks against which records management programmes and systems can be measured. Two standards that concern of authenticity of digital records most are ISO 15489-1: 2001 Information and document – records management – part 1: general, International Standards Organization and PD 5000: 2002 Legal admissibility: an international code of practice for electronic documents and e-business transactions for evidence, audit, long term duty of care, British Standards Institution. In the world of electronic and hybrid systems it is particularly important for records managers to be aware of technical standards that can be used to manage the dependency of records on computer hardware and software in order to maintain digital records for long-terms access. 32
  • 8. Besides standards published by national and international standards organizations, there are others promoted by commercial or professional bodies. For an example, the UK Public Record Office has published Standards for the management of government records, which offers guidance on many aspects of records management, with special emphasis on the needs of public sector organizations. All this standards is the result of ongoing efforts, by responsible agencies who seen that a proper standard and guidelines should be in place to ensure that successful electronic records management system. As a results of the development of national and international standards provided information professional a framework for best practices. Conclusion Many efforts are going on to understand better the authenticity of records. It is because assurance of the authenticity of digital records is never ending process which start on creation and must be maintained through the entire life cycle. As the responsibility for records care ultimately lies with each nation and its governments and citizens. International agencies should play a particular role in raising the awareness of governments around the world of the critical importance to society of accountable, transparent record keeping. Further, the problem is not that record keepers do not know what to do. The problem is how to get it done: how to receive the political, governmental, financial, and other support required to undertake the tasks all record keepers know they must tackle. It is that hopes in recent years we can take a step forward to finding a way to ensuring the authenticity of digital records by better management and better technology.

One can very quickly adapt a record or compile a new record on the basis of an existing one. This digital advantage is at the same time a vulnerability because adaptations or changes are not always observable. Because of this, the reliability of electronic records might be questioned. Finding methods for guaranteeing the reliability of digital documents in general, or electronic records in particular, is the subject of research in various professional fields. At present, one of the most widely suggested solutions is digital signing electronic records. More specifically, the use of asymmetric cryptography and the digital signature is advanced as a proof of authenticity and integrity for electronic records. This technique might also be usable to ensure the reliability of electronic records. (WWW) Online databases Wallis, Jake.
