A New Electronic Records Security Model for Long-Term Preservation

Electronic records are playing more and more important role in the today's society. However, how to protect the electronic records' security is facing a big challenge, too. The traditional security model such as the PKI can't satisfy the security requirements again. In this paper, we propose a kind of new electronic records security model for long-term preservation, and we name this model PKI-d. In this model, we design an identity card for every electronic record. We modify the model based on the traditional PKI model. Through the electronic record ID card and the PKI-d, we can provide an effect protection mechanism for electronic records' long-term preservation. And now, our security model and methods have been applied in the Beijing archives project. We use this model to provide the security protection for massive archives in the Beijing digital archives.
