Graphical and Digital signature Combination for fulfilling the cultural gap

This proposal develops the concept of combining a handwritten signature, digital signature, and a smart card into an overall Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). The purpose of this proposed solution is to fulfill the cultural gap between traditional digital signatures and current smart card digital certificate/signature. It is achieved through the integration of culturally relevant built-in features for increasing the acceptability of digital signatures and smart cards in global e-government/e-commerce, while maintaining the security features of current digital signature/certificate schemes
