What is dual signature in SAP BC-SEC - Security?

SAP Term: dual signature

• Component: BC-SEC

• Component Name: Security

• Description: A cryptographic procedure introduced by SET, an electronic payment system, to ensure data protection during business transactions. This type of signature is generated by calculating hash values separately for two messages, concatenating the two hashresults to a new message, and then hashing that value and encrypting the result. This procedure allows you to combine two messages in such a way that the recipient can only read the part of the message intended for him or for her.

• Key Concepts: 
  Dual signature is a security feature in SAP BC-SEC Security that requires two users to sign off on a document or transaction before it can be completed. This ensures that two people have reviewed the document or transaction and that it is accurate and secure.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use dual signature, two users must be assigned to the document or transaction. The first user will review the document or transaction and sign off on it. The second user will then review the document or transaction and sign off on it as well. Once both users have signed off, the document or transaction can be completed.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using dual signature, it is important to make sure that both users are familiar with the document or transaction they are signing off on. This will ensure that the document or transaction is accurate and secure. Additionally, it is important to make sure that both users are available when signing off on the document or transaction so that it can be completed in a timely manner.
