Digital document management system, digital document management method, and digital document management program
First Claim
1. A digital document management program that allows a computer to manage document information created and registered in a digital form, the program allowing the computer to execute:
- a partial identification information generation step that divides the document information into a plurality of parts and generates partial identification information that represents, in an identifiable manner, the respective parts of the document information based on information included in the respective parts;
a digital signature creation step that creates a digital signature to be appended to the document information using the partial identification information;
a management step that manages the document information; and
a verification step that verifies the validity of the managed document information, whereinat the registration time of new document information, the management step manages a digital signature created by the digital signature creation step in association with the document information and, at the correction time of the document information, it acquires partial identification information related to a corrected part of the document information before correction, allows the digital signature creation step to create a digital signature to be appended to the corrected document information, and manages the digital signature and partial identification information related to the corrected part of the document information before correction in association with the corrected document information, andthe verification step uses the partial identification information and digital signature managed in association with the corrected document information by the management step and partial identification information newly created from the corrected document information by the partial identification information generation step to perform the verification.

Abstract
Disclosed is a digital document management program capable of achieving a third-party certification of document information with reduced amount of meta data.
At the registration time of new document information, the digital document management program manages a digital signature created in association with document information. At the correction time of the document information, the program acquires partial identification information related to a corrected part of the document information before correction, creates a digital signature to be appended to the corrected document information, and manages the digital signature and partial identification information related to the corrected part of the document information in association with the corrected document information. At the verification time, the program uses partial identification information, the partial identification information corresponding to a corrected part of the document information before correction, and digital signature to perform verification.
