Why not just use MD5sum and note the hash down somewhere like a notepad. Rich -----Original Message----- From: dgdat_private [mailto:dgdat_private]On Behalf Of David Douthitt Sent: 19 July 2001 19:57 To: Forensics List Subject: Putting a signature on logs I've gone to using syslog-ng to keeping logs separated out, and to preserve logs for a long time for record purposes. Now it occurs to me that someone could say, "Gee, how do we know that these logs haven't been altered?" What about a digital signature for each log? How would you go about this? I was thinking of using gpg (GNU Privacy Guard) but haven't gotten far enough to know how - and my reference book is the PGP book from O'Reilly and Associates. ----------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
