ANNEX III

Requirements for secure signature-creation devices 1. Secure signature-creation devices must, by appropriate technical and procedural means, ensure at the least that: the signature-creation-data used for signature generation can practically occur only once, and that their secrecy is reasonably assured; the signature-creation-data used for signature generation cannot, with reasonable assurance, be derived and the signature is protected against forgery using currently available technology; the signature-creation-data used for signature generation can be reliably protected by the legitimate signatory against the use of others. 2. Secure signature-creation devices must not alter the data to be signed or prevent such data from being presented to the signatory prior to the signature process.
