The
authors conduct structural and functional analysis of five implemented
digital archival systems

regarding authenticity,
integrity and non-repudiation of preserved electronic records having added time-stamps, (advanced) electronic signatures, and (qualified) certificates.

Content:

The
authors conduct structural and functional analysis of five implemented
digital archival systems
followed by their comparative analysis. They analyse digital archive implementations in The
Federal Chamber of Architects
and Engineers – BAIK
(Austria), The Agency for Medicinal Products and Medical Devices – HALMED
(Croatia), The Braunschweig Clinic (Germany), The Federal Office for Information Security – BSI (Germany), and Lithuanian Office of the Chief
Archivist – Electronic Archive Information System – EAIS (Lithuania). The digital archival systems are responsible for preservation of digitised or digital records in the land register (BAIK), classified records on medicines and medical devices granted to the market
(HALMED), time-stamped electronic
health records
(Braunschweig), electronically signed records (BSI), and
records of the public administration created as part of governmental
e-services and signed by advanced electronic signatures (EAIS). After the
structural and functional analysis of each system,
they are comparatively analysed according to the criteria
grouped around functionalities and system processes, implemented formats and standards, used cryptographic formats, access to the
system, and available software tools for management of preserved records. The authors give conclusion on the issues regarding long-term preservation of electronic records having additional preservation requirements due to the
time-stamping, addition
of (advanced) electronic signatures, and (qualified) certificates in the situations when it is necessary
to ensure their authenticity, integrity and non-repudiation.

Scientific contribution:
|
The
field of archival sciences is advancing in the direction of acquiring, managing, and long-term preservation of complex electronic documents and records. These records are not merely electronic records but can be time-stamped, can have (advanced) e-signatures added or can be associated with (qualified) certificates. This means that during the long-term preservation it is not
only needed to passively preserve only the records
but also the possibilities to verify time-stamps, e-signatures and certificates thus confirming authenticity, integrity and non-repudiation. Scientific contribution of the paper
can be seen in critical
analysis of the existing systems as well as in systematisation and formulation of the requirements the archivists should insist upon when planning a new digital archive which is going to
ingest, manage and preserve complex records.
