ANNEX IV

Recommendations for secure signature verification During the signature-verification process it should be ensured with reasonable certainty that: the data used for verifying the signature correspond to the data displayed to the verifier; the signature is reliably verified and the result of that verification is correctly displayed; the verifier can, as necessary, reliably establish the contents of the signed data; the authenticity and validity of the certificate required at the time of signature verification are reliably verified; the result of verification and the signatory's identity are correctly displayed; the use of a pseudonym is clearly indicated; and any security-relevant changes can be detected.
