Abstract

In the European Union, transactional e-services from security-critical domains such as e-government or e-banking often require users to create legally binding electronic signatures. Currently available solutions, which enable users to create such signatures, have usually been designed for classical end-user devices such as desktop computers or laptops and cannot be applied on mobile end-user devices. This complicates a use of transactional e-services on mobile devices and excludes a growing number of users, who prefer mobile access to services. To address this problem, this paper develops a mobile signature solution that can be applied on mobile end-user devices. Possible architectures for this solution are systematically derived from a generic model first. The best alternative is subsequently determined by means of systematic assessments. This finally yields a technology-agnostic mobile signature solution that can be used as a basis for concrete implementations. By keeping the proposed solution on a rather abstract level, its validity is assured, even if available mobile technologies and the current state of the art change. This way, the proposed solution represents a sustainable basis for future signature solutions and paves the way for transactional e-services on mobile end-user devices.
