System for enabling digital signature auditing

A computerized system comprising a server adapted for communicating with applications and signing entities, the server comprising the following computer hardware modules:

• a receiving module for receiving at least one signature request issued by at least one of the applications;
• a forwarding module for forwarding a first data corresponding to the received at least one signature request to at least one signing entity for subsequent signature of the first data;
• and
• a storing module for storing an updated system state that is computed using a function of:
• i) a reference system state and ii) a second data corresponding to the received at least one signature request, wherein the reference system state and the updated system state attest to the at least one signature request.

A non-transitory article of manufacture tangibly embodying computer readable instructions, which when executed on a computer device cause the computer device to execute the steps of a method for enabling digital signature auditing of a server communicating with applications, wherein the method comprises the steps of:

• receiving at least one signature request issued by at least one of the applications;
• forwarding a first data corresponding to the received at least one signature request to at least one signing entity for subsequent signature of the first data;
• storing an updated system state that is computed using a function of:
• i) a reference system state and ii) a second data corresponding to the received at least one signature request, wherein the reference system state and the updated system state attest to the at least one signature request;
• and
• repeating the above steps, using the updated system state as a new reference system state.
