<p>A user accesses a data base of files, such as form documents in standard formats, using a local computer, via a network. The files are associated with one or more recipient systems. He then edits the downloaded files on-screen, for example, by completing the form documents, and submits them to a notary server via the network. Each file is preferably submitted in an encrypted format, and preferably includes an appended digital signature. Public key encryption is preferably used both to encrypt the form and to implement the digital signature. After processing in the notary server such as decryption and user identification, the notary server forwards the submitted file to the proper recipient system.</p> |
