Abstract:
Since ancient times, the obsession with security and authenticity has been an issue that has produced the development of diverse technologies, to avoid the access of third persons to information or to private places, and to guarantee the identity of a person with regard to a certain fact. Undoubtedly, in a society like today, which comes naming like "of the information", these issues are a basic aspect given the large number of everyday situations that occur relating to the use of confidential information and purposes of authenticity. For it, it becomes necessary to investigate, legislate, and to develop applications and systems that help to preserve the security and authenticity of a user and so, to provide them with sufficient capacity in order that these aspects in telematic networks are exported to the world of the mobile devices. This article describes the mechanisms that can be used as digital signatures and certification to obtain the electronic security in mobile devices. In addition, we propose a real platform already realized for the implementation of the digital signature in mobile terminals.
