Abstract
Me elame ajastul, kus meie käsutuses on väga palju andmeid, kuid samas on nende andmete õigsust ja tõestusväärtust väga raske kontrollida. Nii on kasvõi Eurooopas või Ameerikas toimunud valimiste (sotsiaal)meedia abil mõjutamine asjakohane näide - aastaid tagasi ei võidud selle võimalikkusest mõeldagi, tänapäevase meedia abil aga küll. Samamoodi hakkab massidesse jõudma big data analüüs. Geeni- ja terviseandmete töötlemine on muutunud igapäevaseks, aga selleks, et tulemusi saaks 100% õigeteks pidada, on vajalik, et nende andmete tõestusväärtus oleks algallikas kinnitatud. Viimane on aga võimalik ainult digitaalse allkirja või templiga, mis on antud võimalikult lähedal algallikale - meditsiinidokument peab olema allkirjastatud isiklikult perearsti poolt, sest ainult nii on võimalik seda tulevikus arvesse võtta.Hetkel on suureks probleemiks ka asjaolu, et digitaalallkirjastamise formaat on muutumas. Seetõttu oleks väga palju vanas formaadis digiallkirju vaja ümber teha ja ühtlasi tagada, et hiljem on algse dokumendi tõestusväärtus sama, mis vastava dokumendi tegemise ajal.
We are living in an era with an abundance of electronic data, yet the integrity and evidential value of these data are very hard to check. At present the problems like affecting the 2016 presidential elections in the USA or elections in the Europe by (social) media are highly topical. A few years ago such activity seemed completely improbable but it is entirely possible using contemporary means of data manipulation. Big data analysis as well is constantly reaching wider masses. The processing of sensitive genetic and health data has become an everyday issue. However, in order to ensure the complete authenticity of these data, it is necessary to guarantee their evidential value by certifying their initial source.The initial source can only be certified by adding a digital signature or seal to a document containing health data, which should be done as close to its source as possible. It means that we can later rely on a medical document only if its compiler, the general practitioner, has digitally signed it.Currently a major concern is that the format of electronic signing is changing and a large number of documents in old format have to be signed again. Thus, a solution should be found to the highly topical problem of how to ensure that the document has the original, unchanged evidential value also many years later.
