A certiicate-based httPS web server has been established for the legal<br />

gazette. It incorporates a multicert certiicate guaranteeing validity, which<br />

means that a root authority has taken steps to verify that the web address actually<br />

belongs to the publisher of the legal gazette, INCm.<br />

7.1. Software for online authentication<br />

In addition to these different methods of authentication of electronic legal<br />

gazettes, a number of other measures can be used. In Hungary, the user of an<br />

electronic legal gazette has the possibility to check online the authenticity of<br />

the document using speciic software. the hungarian publisher of the legal<br />

gazette, magyar hivatalos Közlönykiadó, has developed a separate technological<br />

process to the electronic version of legal texts and oficial journals, based on<br />

an ShA-512 algorithm. It determines whether electronic versions of oficial<br />

journals that were earlier downloaded or were purchased are oficial or not. the<br />

monitoring program and the instructions for use can be downloaded from the<br />

‘hitelesség’ (= authentiication) link of the website www.magyarkozlony.hu.<br />

the authentication program (Auth) asks for the location and name of the<br />

oficial journal ile and sends the hash code made from the user’s ile to the<br />

server of mhK, where — after identiication — the answer yes or no is given.<br />

however, experience shows that very few users have actually used the possibility<br />

to conirm the authenticity of the electronic legal gazette in hungary.<br />

Authentication with speciic software may be dificult or even impossible on<br />

certain workstations, if the user is not allowed to install the software.<br />

7.2. Use of time stamps in the resigning of electronic<br />

signatures<br />

the validity of electronically signed legal gazettes or other documents will<br />

become a serious challenge in the near future, since electronic signatures are<br />

usually only valid for a limited period, such as two or three years.<br />

In france, the Journal officiel has experience in the re-signing of electronic<br />

documents. the texts of legal gazettes will have to be re-signed after the<br />
