Subject field(s)
  • IT Security
CONT

... records based on digital signatures are more vulnerable to abuse than conventional files. Not only are they self-authenticating (even if they are copied, the information they contain can be verified by anyone), but they also permit a person who has a particular kind of information to prove its existence without either giving the information away or revealing its source.

OBS

(...) les enregistrements de données fondés sur des signatures numériques sont plus vulnérables que les fichiers classiques. Non seulement ces fichiers s'auto-identifient (même s'ils sont copiés, l'information qu'ils contiennent peut être vérifiée par n'importe qui), mais ils permettent aussi à une personne en possession d'un certain type d'information de prouver l'existence de cette information sans la communiquer ou sans en révéler la source.
