System for enabling digital certificates to be accessed and enabled with an inputted "electronic handwritten signature". The electronic handwritten signature is entered through an electronic device that captures the signature then processes it to determine its validity against a stored electronic handwritten signature and unlocks or allows use of a digital certificate. The digital certificate that is unlocked by the electronic handwritten signature can perform standard digital certificate functions such as digitally sign, digital encrypt (cipher) / decrypt (de-cipher). The handwritten signature entered by the user performs a security protection function as a direct support or replacement of a pin or password that is commonly used to secure digital certificates. The handwritten signature will be used to gain access to the digital certificate as and when required. |
