Non-Repudiation

Non-repudiation software standards are published by ISO and IEC. They include the ISO/IEC 13888 series, which cover symmetric and asymmetric techniques.


ISO/IEC 13888-1:2020

Information security - Non-repudiation - Part 1: General

This document serves as a general model for subsequent parts specifying non-repudiation mechanisms using cryptographic techniques. The ISO/IEC 13888 series provides non-repudiation mechanisms for the following phases of non-repudiation: evidence generation; evidence transfer, storage and retrieval; and evidence verification. Dispute arbitration is outside the scope of the ISO/IEC 13888 series.


ISO/IEC 13888-2:2010

Information technology - Security techniques - Non-repudiation - Part 2: Mechanisms using symmetric techniques

The goal of the non-repudiation service is to generate, collect, maintain, make available and validate evidence concerning a claimed event or action in order to resolve disputes about the occurrence or non-occurrence of the event or action. ISO/IEC 13888-2:2010 provides descriptions of generic structures that can be used for non-repudiation services, and of some specific communication-related mechanisms which can be used to provide non-repudiation of origin (NRO) and non-repudiation of delivery (NRD). Other non-repudiation services can be built using the generic structures described in ISO/IEC 13888-2:2010 in order to meet the requirements defined by the security policy. ISO/IEC 13888-2:2010 relies on the existence of a trusted third party (TTP) to prevent fraudulent repudiation or accusation. Usually, an online TTP is needed. Non-repudiation can only be provided within the context of a clearly defined security policy for a particular application and its legal environment. Non-repudiation policies are defined in ISO/IEC 10181-4.



ISO/IEC 13888-3:2020

Information security - Non-repudiation - Part 3: Mechanisms using asymmetric techniques

This document specifies mechanisms for the provision of specific, communication-related, non repudiation services using asymmetric cryptographic techniques.
