Abstract
The usage of electronic bills in Vietnam become more popular in recent years. As required by law, the e-bills need to be signed digitally. Deploying the digital signature services in practice raised new issues in security and usability. In this paper we describe some open practical problems in deploying digital signature service in Vietnam. We discuss the research directions that address the issues. We draw the research plan to resolve the problems in the industry.
