Abstract

In accordance with embodiments within, a secure independent electronic document apparatus, it'"'"'s system, method, and manufacture is taught. With an authenticable and tamper detectable electronic container supporting platform vendor and authentication independence, character text data sections supporting digital signatures, data automation and nested embedding, as well as graphical image data, or other free format data sections supporting many data processing operations, imaging representation comprised within a container using a secure and independent system, the secure independent electronic document presents a solution for digital electronic information distribution, commerce, trade and exchange.

Claims

1. An information handling apparatus comprising:

a container, adapted for sectional components, said container can be of a normative standard format;

at least one character data component, comprising;

a character text data, wherein said character text data can be of a normative standard format;

a first interfacing means, wherein said character text data can be processed in an automated fashion in a computer system;

a second interfacing means, wherein said character text data can be interpreted and understood with human interaction;

a first referencing means, wherein said character text data can reference external file data a file using a uniform resource locator or identifier;

a first encoding means, wherein said character text data can be of an encoded type;

a first embedding means, wherein said character text data can be of said encoded type format and can contain file data of any type; and

a first integrity means, wherein said character text data can be of an encrypted format;

at least one graphical image data component, comprising;

a graphical image data component;

a third interfacing means, wherein said graphical image data can be digitally processed in an automated fashion in a computer graphic processing system;

a fourth interfacing means, wherein said graphical image data can be realized and perceived with human interaction; and

a second integrity means, wherein said graphical image data can be of an encrypted type;

at least one overall data integrity check value;

a fifth interfacing means, wherein said containers default file data format is of a binary type;

a first independence means, wherein said containers sectional components creation, processing or storage can be independent of said containers contents creation;

a third integrity means, wherein said containers sectional components creation, processing or storage can be independent of an intervention from said containers association;

a fourth integrity means, wherein said containers sectional components can included data integrity check value information of other said container sectional components;

a fifth integrity means, wherein having said containers format be of a normative standard type further allows said containers creation, processing or storage to be independent of an intervention from additional party association;

a second independence means, wherein having said containers format be of a normative standard type further allows said containers creation, processing or storage to be independent of an additional required party interaction;

a third independence means, wherein having said containers format be of a normative standard type further allows said containers validation to be independent of an additional party interaction; and

a fourth independence means, wherein having said container have a format of a normative standard type further allows said container to be created, processed or stored independent of a computer system platform medium type.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, having said character data component further comprising:

a first digital signing means, wherein said character text data can be digitally signed, cosigned and countersigned;

3. The apparatus of claim 2, having said container further comprising:

at least one or more digital signature data components;

digital signing means, wherein said digital signature component type can be one of a signature, cosignature and countersigner type.

4. The apparatus of claim 3, having said container component sections further comprising:

at least one hash check value, wherein said hash check value is computed for the said component section.
