Electronic Commerce has become the leading method of business in many countries. And related laws are being established and is operating in Korea and China. In this circumstance, Korea's electronic signature law was enacted on February 5, 1999, and has been applied from July 1, 1999. But China's electronic signature law was enacted on August 28, 2004, and has been formally applied from April 1, 2005. This paper is to drive problems of the electronic signature system and law and to show the whole point to be considered in enterprise and the present status of internal and external service under the basis of electronic trade. The purpose of this study aims to present a comparative analysis on the Korean and Chinese electronic signature system and law. In addition to, another point of this paper is suggestions for improvement of legal problem.

This article discusses and analyses several issues regarding to the Electronic Signature and the Electronic Certification. The objects of the analyse are the each paragraphs of the Korean Electronic Signature Act of 1999 and that of the Korean Electronic Transaction Basic Act of 1999 in comparing to the paragraphs of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act' (E-Sign) of 2000, U.S.A. and that of the Draft UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Signature of 2000. The main issues discussed herein are the scope of the electronic signature, the definition of the electronic signature, permission of services to the non-authorized certification service providers, the effect of the electronic signature, the liability of the concerning parties of the electronic signature including liability of the certification service providers, that of the subscribers and that of the relying parties. This paper also discusses the problems of the possibility of issuing the electronic negotiable commercial papers, the validity of the electronic signatures done by electronic agents, the authority certificate, mutual certification of the foreign certification service providers, the permission of the electronic notary service, the problems of the consumer protection and the possibility of issuing electronic insurance policy, etc. The writer concludes by suggesting some measures that will activate the use of electronic signatures under the korean circumstances.

Chaum's blind signature scheme is the typical withdrawal procedure of electronic cash. In blind signature scheme, a signer sign a document while he never knows the content of the signed document. Yung and Jakobsson presented new signature scheme with which the content of document can be unblinded if unusual activity is detected. This signature is referred to as the magic ink signature. In this paper, we analyze the magic ink signature, and present two new magic ink signature schemes using KCDSA and Schnorr signature algorithm. We propose two types of the efficient electonic cash system using these magic ink signature schemes. One is the electronic cash system with a single server magic init signature scheme, and the other is the electronic cash system with a distributed magic ink signature scheme.

Electronic cash is a digital signature issued by bank. If the concept of the distributed secret sharing and magic ink signature is introduced in the existing electronic cash system we can increase the security level and the availability of electronic cash system and trace the electronic cash itself and the owner of electronic cash which was issued anonymously to a user in case of illegal usage of electronic cash by users. If the trust is concentrated on one bank system. the problem of misuse of bank can be occurred. To solve this problem, the distributed secrete sharing scheme need to be introduced in electronic cash system. In this paper We propose a DSS(Digital Signature Standard) distributed magic ink signature scheme and a KCDSA(Korea Certificate-based Digital Signature Algorithm) distributed magic ink signature scheme using a verifiable secret sharing method. and we compare two methods with respect to the required computation amount for the generation of magic-ink signature.

A blind signature scheme is a protocol allowing verifier to obtain a valid signature for a message m from a signer without him seeing the message. This means that the bank in collaboration with the shop cannot trace the electronic cash to user. However anonymous electronic cash also facilitates fraud and criminal acts such as money laundering anonymous blackmailing and illegal purchaes. Therefore in this paper we propose fair blind signature scheme based on KCDSA which is a domestic digital signature scheme and it apply a electronic cash system. In particularly a proposed electronic cash system have an anonymity control ability which trace a user who make use a electronic cash illegally in association with a trusted center.

With the development of quantum computers, ring signature schemes based on large integer prime factorization, discrete logarithm problem, and bilinear pairing are under threat. For this reason, we design a ring signature scheme based on lattice with a fixed verification key. Compared with the previous ring signature scheme based on lattice, our design has a fixed verification key and does not disclose the signer's identity. Meanwhile, we propose an anonymous electronic voting scheme by using our ring signature scheme based on lattice and (t, n) threshold scheme, which makes up for the lack of current anonymous electronic voting that cannot resist attacks of the quantum computer. Finally, under standard model (SM), we prove that our ring signature scheme based on lattice is anonymous against the full-key exposure, and existentially non-forgeable against insider corruption. Furthermore, we also briefly analyze the security of our anonymous electronic voting scheme.

Partially blind signature scheme is used in applications such as electronic cash and electronic voting where the privacy of the signature requester is important. This paper proposes an RSA-based enhanced partially blind signature scheme minimizing the amount of computation of the signature requester. The signature requester needs computation in blinding the message to the signer and in generating the final signature using the intermediate signature generated by the signer. Since the proposed scheme enables the signature requester to get the final signature just by using modular additions and multiplications, it decreases computation of the signature requester considerably. So, the proposed partially blind signature scheme is adequate for devices such as mobile device, smart-card, and electronic purse that have relatively low computing power.

In this study, the undeniable digital multi-signature scheme based on the discrete logarithms is proposed. The proposed multi-signature scheme satisfies undeniability and is secure against active attacks such as fabrication and denial of multi-signature by signers. It is suitable for electronic election scheme in which several administrators are required. Especially in case of dispute among voters and administrators, the proposed scheme can resolve it due to the undeniable property. It can provide fair electronic election by minimizing the role of voting center, and can enable user-oriented electronic election.

In this paper, a novel analog signature scheme is proposed by modifying an RSA-based digital signature scheme with optical phase-shifting digital holography. The purpose of the proposed method is generating an analog signature to provide data confidentiality and security during the data transfer, compared to the digital signature. The holographic encryption technique applied to a hash value reveals an analog-type of pseudo-random pattern in the analog signature scheme. The public key and secret key needed to verify the analog signature are computed from public key ciphers which are generated by the same holographic encryption. The proposed analog signature scheme contains a kind of double encryption in the process of generating signature and key, which enhances security level more than the digital signature. The results of performance simulations show the feasibility of the highly secure signature scheme, and security analysis shows high robustness against known-message attacks and chosen-message attacks. In addition, the proposed method can apply to one-time signature schemes which can be used to sign only one message and it can also apply to authentication, e-mails, electronic banking and electronic data interchange.
