In an another instance, a group of academics from the German Ruhr University Bochum in Germany devised three PDF signature spoofing attack techniques, namely Universal Signature Forgery, Incremental Saving Attach and Signature Wrapping Attack. Using them, the experts demonstrated that almost any PDF viewer that was analysed and online validation services were vulnerable to the attack methods. Also the vulnerabilities can be exploited to make unauthorized changes to signed PDF documents without validating their digital signature. Indeed terrifying moments for the digital signature industry as the war between black and white is creating newer stories each day.
Security and precision and ability to use the solution across devices, will be the next research ground for the industry. Looking at this growing trend, siliconindia Magazine brings to you ‘10 Most Promising Digital Signature Services Providers - 2019’.
