Abstract

The Brazilian government has been discussing the topic of information security and the availability of information through digital media. Information made available in digital format must have the same protection as information in physical format. One of the solutions proposed in the educational area to make documents available in a secure digital format was introduced by the Ministry of Education (MEC), which was the creation of a model for signing papers and University Degree in digital format. The government defined the main guidelines for the creation of this digital signature solution through ordinances. According to the MEC, the deadline for implementing a system for signing University Degree and documents in digital format must be established by 2022. This work presents a digital signature solution for the University of Brasïlia (UnB). Besides, we demonstrate the current architecture used by UnB and how the creation of new solutions can be incorporated into this architecture. Thus, we present the internal architecture of the digital signature module and demonstrate how the developed solution will be integrated into the current architecture of UnB. As a main result, the proposed solution presents a reduction in the costs of signing digital documents and allows higher speed in signing University Degree and documents in digital format.
