In the current process of digitizing society, it is essential to have a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) integrated with a secure digital signature service available for use by society and the corporate sector. A digital signature ensures the integrity of and the signer’s association with the signed digital document, thereby guaranteeing its authenticity for legal purposes. This paper proposes an integrated platform from the XETID Company that aims to provide Cuban society with a secure digital signature service at large. The solution involves a public key infrastructure, a digital signature server, a timestamp server, and a secure service for managing passwords and performing cryptographic operations. Additionally, tool typologies for utilizing the digital signature service are proposed.
The work describes each component, its essential function, and the handling of passwords necessary to achieve a robust and secure digital signature service. Likewise, it outlines essential tools for further development so as to accomplish the desired objective.
