Abstract

Various embodiments include one or more of systems, methods, software, and data structures for validating a digital signature, wherein common information in a certification chain is maintained in one entry of a Document Secure Store (DSS). The DSS separates the Long Term Validation (LTV) information from the digital signature, allowing amendment of and addition to the LTV information in the DSS after a digital signature is applied to a document.
