Don't believe this is the cause, but it certainly is significant for cici: Digital signatures gain EU approval December 2, 1999 By Simon Hamer, UK-iNvest.com The European Union has approved a law giving digital signatures on contracts agreed over the Web the same legal status as their hand-written equivalents. Ministers unanimously agreed the new ruling at a one-day telecoms meeting in Brussels. The law will come into operation in 18 months and is designed to guarantee secure transactions over the Internet and other electronic networks. Member states hope the law will help to bridge the e-business gap between Europe and the US, putting Europe ahead in e-commerce. The new law lays down minimum laws on security and liability, ensuring the signatures are recognised across the EU. Most digital signatures encrypt documents which only the author and the recipient have the "key" to decipher. But security fears have already been raised after crackers managed to break apart the chip that powers Siemens? digital signature card. Matthias Brstle posted a TeX file on a German bulletin boards yesterday giving details of how to crack the chip. The file shows disassembly of the CMS/RMS for the Siemens SLE44/66 chip, which is at the heart of the security system in Germany. "A plain disassembly read from a chip card is commented,? he wrote. ? There is also shown a possible attack." The normal execution of the chip can be bypassed in two ways, both of which can lead to security breaches by anyone with a card who understands the assembly codes.
