Non-repudiation

 

If incoming messages are digitally signed, a message exit at the receiving end of a channel can log sufficient evidence to enable the digital signature of a message to be checked at any time in the future. This can form the basis of a non-repudiation service with proof of origin.

Like the identification and authentication service, this service might be more effective if it is implemented at the application level. At the application level, the service can also be extended to provide proof of delivery. For more information about how this service can be implemented at the application level, see Non-repudiation.
