Abstract

Nowadays, digital data can be protected by several security services. For example, confidentiality can be provided using encryption mechanisms and authentication can be realized by digital signatures. However, it is usually assumed that only unauthorized users want to manipulate data or attack the system. Often the attacks committed by allegedly trusted users are neglected.

A question following secured transmissions is addressed by the non-repudiation of forwarding service: How to find the responsible person if a data leak comes up? The service provides traceability of confidential data via multiple recipients. Unique tracking data are added to the message each time it is forwarded, and these data are used to generate evidence in case of a conflict. This paper deals with the security aspects of the non-repudiation of forwarding service and explains how the tracking data are protected against targeted manipulations.
