Abstract:
To ensure the quality of scientific data, the integrity and authenticity of the data has to be guaranteed. Due to the significance of the primary data, the integrity and authenticity of research data have to be ensured with their generation. Special measurement devices offer this possibility by an automated digital signing process. Unfortunately, these devices are rare. Therefore, a generic software application which is shown in this paper has been implemented. Furthermore, the solution has been adjusted to an existing laboratory automation system which is depicted as well. The combination of a new, web-based Laboratory Information and Management System (LIMS) with a new protocol for an authentication of electronic data shows that the establishment of an automated collection of secure data can be realized even without disturbing the researcher.
