Gestão de documentos arquivísticos digitais: segurança proporcionada pela criptografia, assinatura digital e certificação digital

Abstract

The present paper is brought a bibliographic study about the process of document management. It focuses on archival information security, by means of methods of cryptography, digital signature and digital certification in the protection of documents on digital media. The need of this study emerged from the perception of the deficiency of Archival Science undergraduates of the UFPB in relation to the theme. It aims to show the level of security and authenticity of information that are proportioned by cryptography, digital signature and digital certification in archival documents of digital media and what is the contribution of these tools to Archival Science. It was looked for data about how cryptography has emerged and how it can be used together with other tools to help in the protection of archival information, passing by the types of cryptography that are used, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses, in order to try to show which algorithm is better according the need. The paper also presents a normative view by means of the analysis of the ISO 15489 and the e-ARQ, which have the needed information to the implementation of a computerized system of digital document management. This study showed that the tools of information protection above mentioned have come to add up and have brought innumerable benefits to the field of Archival Science.
