Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007034255A1] The invention relates to a method for generating a digital signature linked to a biometric identifier. The method comprises the steps of receiving a document to be signed and storing it as an electronic document (44); receiving a biometric identifier from at least one signatory and storing it as biometric data (42); generating a digest (41) of the electronic document (44); associating the digest (41) with the biometric data (42) in order to obtain a first set of information and encrypting said first set of information in order to generate a biometric signature (43) and associating the biometric signature (43) with the electronic document (44) in order to obtain a second set of information and signing said second set of information by means of a cryptographic method-based digital signature (46) in order to generate a signed electronic document package (47). The invention also relates to an ap paratus and a system for generating a digital signature linked to a biometric identifier.
