The invention provides a method and apparatus for the secure electronic signing of electronic documents and data. In a preferred embodiment, a method for generating a first digital signature associated with a set of application data is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: obtaining a first digital representation in a high level first data format of the set of application data; generating a second digital representation in a low level second data format of the application data whereby said low level second data format is different from said high level first data format; presenting an analog representation of the set of application data to a user, whereby said second digital representation is a precise and accurate representation of said analog representation; obtaining an indication whether said user approves said analog representation for signing; if said indication indicates that the user approves said analog representation for signing, generating said first digital signature over said second digital representation using a first signature key associated with the user. |
