Versasec wishes to recognize Kamel Elias, Versasec Technical Consultant in Cairo, for his noteworthy contributions to academic research within the technology field.
In his recent research endeavors, Kamel addressed two critical challenges that reflect his commitment to innovation and problem-solving. Kamel shares with us,
“Validating a qualified PKI-based digital signature requires an active internet connection. This connection is needed to instantly link with the issuing public certificate authority and obtain approval. This becomes challenging when validating a digital signature in offline and isolated environments, particularly within highly sensitive government institutions.”
Offline and isolated environments guarantee no one can access this information.
In light of this, Kamel recognized the need for a technical solution to accurately identify the signature creation time, a crucial element for compliance with Egyptian law. He notes,
“An algorithm design that complies with Egyptian and international regulations is needed. International standards do not mandate a particular method for verifying the creation time of digital signatures.”
In his scientific paper “Offline Digital Signature Validation Model with Enhanced Time-Stamping,” Kamel introduces a novel model based on the standards defined by the European Telecommunication and Standards Institute (ETSI). This model provides a solution to validate timestamps and time-marks combined for long-term valid digital signatures while ensuring the availability of a precise signature creation time.
Kamel Elias’ contribution to technology and academic research aligns seamlessly with Versasec’s commitment to cutting-edge credential management solutions.
Kamel was awarded the Best Oral Presentation at the 12th International Conference on Software and Information Engineering, underscoring the importance of secure digital signatures. His paper, now published in the ACM’s International Conference Proceedings Series and indexed by EI Compendex and Scopus, stands as a testament to Kamel’s dedication and the quality of his work, highlighting the impactful contributions Versasec professionals make to technological innovation.
Congratulations Kamel!
