Abstract
Data security is provided in the form of a method for digitally signing a data message. A client device issues a issuing a signature request to a server and generates a first signature part as functions of selected ones of first signature parameters. It then receives from the server a second signature part, said second signature part having been computed by the server as functions of second signature parameters and at least one of the first signature parameters. The client device then attempts to verify components of the second signature part and generates a final digital signature of the message only if the components of the second signature part are valid. Part of the computational effort of creating the signature is thus offloaded to the server, even though the server may not be fully trusted.
