RESUMO

This work examined the regulation of ICP-Brazil, aiming to verify whether the digitally signed documents within this infrastructure, have the technical characteristics necessary and sufficient to be useful, indeed, as legal evidence, even for long term. We analyzed international standards for digital certification and digital signature and the legislation of other countries and regions, in particular the European Community. We pointed out important gaps in the Brazilian legislation, the main one being the lack of regulations on storing documents digitally signed, a process that requires the adoption of a series of regular activities such as revalidation of signatures to preserve the effectiveness of documents. We also found gaps in the regulations dealing with certificate revocation, systems for generation and verification of digital signatures and types and application of digital certificates. For each gap we recommended steps that can help to solve them. Among these recommendations, there is the creation of new entities and new services in the ICP-Brasil, the modification of existing services, the change of types of certificates used in ICP-Brasil, the creation of manuals to guide the users and the definition of a new process for the approval of systems used in generation and verification of digital signatures.
