Methods and systems are disclosed for a digital signature system using scalable servers. The system includes scalable frontend servers to communicate with applications servers and scalable backend servers to communicate with remote security devices. When a user, and their remote security device(s), is registered with the system, the remote security device(s) is/are assigned to a backend server. A total public key is generated by cryptographically embedding the unique identifier of the assigned backend server into a combined public key associated with the remote security device(s). When a signature request including the total public key is received at the frontend server, the unique identifier is extracted and the signature request is forwarded to the backend server that corresponds with the unique identifier.

Digital signature system using scalable servers

Method and apparatus are disclosed for attack tolerant implementations of public key digital signatures based on a cloud of dedicated local devices. A system includes a first security device, a second security device, and a computing device remote from the first and second security devices. The first security device stores a first private key and, in response to receiving a message, generates a first signature based on a message received from the computing device and the first private key. The second security device stores a second private key that is independent from the first private key and, in response to receiving a message, generates a second signature based on a message received from the computing device and the first private key. The computing device generates a composite cryptographic signature based on the first signature and the second signature.
