<p style="text-align: justify;">Information Systems have been a key tool for the overall performance improvement of administrative tasks in academic institutions. While most systems intend to deliver a paper-less environment to each institution it is recurrent that document integrity and accountability is still relying on traditional methods such as producing physicaldocuments for signing and archiving. While this method delivers a non-eficient work-fow and has an efective monetary cost, it is still the common method to provide a degree of integrity and accountability on the data contained in databases.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The evaluation of a document signature is not a straight forward process, it requires the recipient to have a copy of the signers signature for comparison and training beyond the scope of any oce employee training, this leads to a serious compromise on the trust-ability of each document integrity and makes the verification based entirely on the trust of information origin which is not enough to provide non-repudiation to the institutions. Digitally signed documents provides an interesting solution to this problem, not only the validation of the document is automated, its integrity verifiable, but may be implemented in such way that the information contained in such documents can be directly dematerialized to difeerent information systems without human intervention, allowing cost reduction and leading to faster process work-fows.</p>
