expiry of their certiicates (except with time stamping) or algorithms (RSA 1024,<br />

RSA 2048, ShA 1). the choice of electronic signature is very important to minimise<br />

the tasks to re-sign, but it is important to check compatibility with the tools<br />

used (navigators, Adobe Reader, Class Java, etc.). the irst re-signing operation<br />

in france was carried out at the ‘Direction des journaux oficiels’ in June 2006: all<br />

texts from 2 June 2005 onwards were re-signed (nearly 60 000 iles altogether).<br />

It took a week to conduct the ‘re-signature operation’ in accordance with good<br />

practice. the re-signing was conducted by a signatory with a technician and followed<br />

a protocol close to the original task of signature.<br />

Concerning time-stamp standards, a new OpentSA project has been started.<br />

Its aim is to develop an RfC 3161-compliant, stable, secure, open-source<br />

and free time-stamping authority client and server application. the following<br />

deliverables have already been produced.<br />

• A time-stamp patch for OpenSSL: the time-stamp request creation, response<br />

generation and response veriication functionality is implemented<br />

as an extension to the latest stable version of OpenSSL. this patch adds a<br />

new tS command to OpenSSL with which the time-stamping operations<br />

can be carried out. this patch and the time-stamp client have been merged<br />

into the oficial version of OpenSSL and will be available from OpenSSL-<br />

0.9.9 onwards.<br />

• A time-stamp client: A simple command-line-driven tSA client that can be<br />

used for creating and sending time-stamp requests over httP or httPS<br />

to a tSA and for receiving and verifying the responses. the utility is distributed<br />

with the OpenSSL time-stamp patch.<br />

• A time-stamp module for Apache: this package is an extension module for<br />

the latest stable version of the Apache httP server. Using the functionality<br />

of the OpenSSL time-stamp patch, this module functions as an RfC 3161-<br />

compliant time-stamp server over httP and httPS transport protocols.<br />

Issued time-stamp tokens can be stored in a mySqL or fireBird database.<br />

CUTTING DOWN THE NUMBER <strong>OF</strong> PAPER COPIES<br />

It is fairly easy to cut down the number of paper copies if the number of<br />

subscribers to the oficial gazette is, for example, between 500 and 2 000. Nev-<br />
